Join a Poncha Workshop in Madeira Island!
An entertaining mix between a tour and a bar hop!
Expect good drinks and a laid-back atmosphere. This isn’t about fancy introductions or curated experiences; it’s about finding your new favourite spot in the city.
A fun journey with 6 stops through the historic streets of Funchal, where local drinks and vibrant culture unite. Our tour takes you on an adventure, from savouring a local beer to indulging in the rich heritage of Madeiran wines. Experience the iconic Nikita cocktail, uncover the secrets of local ginja, and master the art of Poncha-making by taking part in an exclusive poncha workshop!
As we bounce from spot to spot, you’ll stumble upon the places locals actually hang out—a far cry from your guidebook ́s suggestions.
Join us for a memorable afternoon of drinks and laughter!

Reviews
Great full-day wine tour! Roberto, our guide, was very hospitable and personable. We had an amazing wine experience and wonderful lunch. Definitely recommend the tour!
Such a lovely day of wine tasting around Madeira, we really enjoyed it....even though we were a little unlucky with the weather....and had some rain and mist....at some parts of the day. But luckily we still had some amazing views and the tastings were excellent..... our tour guide Sofia, very knowledgeable and engaging while we toured around and the group of 8 people had great fun, it was nice to engage with people from different countries.
Sofia is a wonderful guide, we did the full day tour and it was a great day, Sofia shared a lot of knowledge with us about wine and about the island. Lunch especially was a highlight. Thank you so much, highly recommend!
