Mat- och vinvandring på Madeira

Gastronomi och vin är hjärtat och själen på Madeira. Vår Food & Wine Walking Tour bjuder in era kunder att ha roligt och uppleva stadens mat och vin genom en lokal invånares ögon.

Äkthet är viktigt för oss, så vi försöker verkligen visa en lokal invånares perspektiv på denna tur, så att alla känner sig som sanna madeirare under några timmar. Våra 9 stopp är en blandning av 6 moderna och traditionella platser dit lokalbefolkningen faktiskt går, där vi kombinerar våra klassiker med platser utanför de vanliga turiststråken.

• Next stop, a local favourite, a restaurant where everyone will taste a homemade dish called “Carne de vinha d ́alhos” (pork marinated with garlic and wine) traditionally served at Christmas time in Madeira.
