Overview

I am one of the lucky ones doing what I love for a living, and you will feel that passion in every moment of our tour. Over the years, I have been discovering this island — its hidden corners, people, stories, and history — which we’ll enjoy between stops. Wine is just the cherry on top as we visit regions across north and south Madeira.

This is not a typical crowded wine tour. We avoid the busiest times and areas, and between tastings, there are many surprises. Some stops may be shortened, extended, or replaced if you’ve already visited them.

Pickup times are flexible, arranged with the guide.

Important: The tour runs Tuesday to Friday; on Mondays, weekends, and public holidays, some vineyards and cellars are closed.

Meeting and Pickup

These are private tours with a single pick-up stop, and the adventure begins as soon as we meet. Important: pick-ups outside Funchal, Santa Cruz, and Câmara de Lobos incur a small additional fee. I drive a car branded with the Go Local Madeira logo and usually pick up guests at their door. For on-shore tours, I’ll meet you at the cruise ship dock and provide clear, easy-to-follow instructions to ensure a smooth and stress-free meeting.I have two fully restored all-terrain vehicles for your comfort and safety:Nissan Patrol (1993) – 5 seats: 1 facing forward, 4 in the back facing sideways (60 cm / 23 inches each), with a panoramic/convertible roof for amazing views.Land Rover Discovery TDI (1996) – 4 seats facing forward, perfect for a comfortable ride.Vehicles are assigned depending on availability, maintenance, or weather conditions, with prior notice given to guests.

Quinta Do Barbusano

This tour will take you to Madeira's most beautiful vineyards in São Vicente, Northwest of Madeira. Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes where cliffs, mountains, forest, and cultivated terraces melt harmoniously. This is a perfect symbiosis between culture and nature. Regardless of the amazing scenery, we will visit producers on the south and north side of the island and try the most relevant types of wine. From the worldwide famous fortified Madeira Wine to table wines and homemade using traditional grape varietals and processes. For lunch break, we can have a snack or a typical meal in a non-touristy restaurant. Because these are unique tours, customized to each guest, other stops and options with more surprises will be suggested to add to your tour. Please bring a fully charged camera, the diversity in terms of the landscape it's simply mindblowing, and with a panoramic roof, anytime can be a photo time.
