Madeira

[D_Mowe]

Hi all:

Been going to Portugal for the last 23 yrs but my first trip to the island of Madeira. Did some searching around and it seems most of the last action posted is a little older. Anybody been in the last year? We’re all set for tastings. primarily looking for food and any unique experience recommendations. Also if anybody has any cool winebar/nightlife spots to recommend that would be great.

Thanks.

@Otto_Forsberg was there recently.

Otto's Madeira travelogue

Madeira has been on my bucket list for quite some time now and finally, last August-September, we managed to visit the island. We spent a nice week there and I managed to taste some 70-ish wines during the visit. I thought maybe these notes would be of some interest - and of course comments from people who have visited the island are welcomed, too! We stayed at a lovely hotel that was located pretty much at the center of Funchal, basically right next door to Oliveiras! Nothing to complain there…

Thank you!! I only looked here instead of the whole site.

ftlop has madeira trips too; no idea if you could piggyback on one of their tastings if your time overlapped on the island.
