Madeira Vineyard Collection Experience

Discover the Madeira Vineyard Collection Experience!

Dive into the heart of Madeira’s winemaking legacy with this exclusive vineyard and tasting experience at Quinta de Santa Luzia, a historic family-owned estate near Funchal. Begin with a guided walk through the terraced vineyards, where you’ll learn about the estate’s history, the unique terroir, key grape varietals, and the viticulture practices that shape the production of Madeira wine.

The tour culminates in a vertical tasting of six wines on the scenic terrace of the quinta house, featuring Verdelho and Bual – two emblematic grape varieties cultivated at the estate. This curated tasting allows you to explore the ageing process and evolution of Madeira wine, comparing different maturations side by side.

Enjoy this journey through time and taste, paired with regional delicacies that highlight the richness of the island’s culinary heritage.
