Taste Funchal is a 4-hour guided food and wine walk in Funchal, Madeira. English guide, menu translation, local bites and drinks included.

Taste Funchal is a 4-hour food and wine walk in Funchal with market tastings, Madeira wine, poncha, and local history for $109.
“Our first ever Food & Wine tour and it was really good. Anna was a wonderful guide, as we walked from tasting to tasting she showed us the history of Funchal & Madeira itself which was just what we hoped for. The tour lasted for four hours and we were definitely full by the end. There was a good mix of types of food to experience, accompanied by wine & coffee - delicious! Added bonus was meeting the others doing the tour and chatting with them as we walked around - you knew you at least share a love of food as a starting point! Overall 10/10 and well worth…”
Walk Funchal with a small English guide and taste Madeira wine, poncha, sweets and seafood across 8 stops in 3.5 hours.
“We booked this tour for the second day on our short mid week break. I always book a food / walking tour in every city and country I travel to and this tour was up there as one of the best. Robert was an excellent guide. We not only discovered the amazing history of Madeira and the city of Funchal but had some lovely food and drink. We covered quite a lot in the time that we had. Stops included chocolate, cake Madeira, fruit and some amazing fish. You would not necessarily find these places by just wandering. What a great experience, thanks Robert!”
Small-group Funchal food and wine walk with six Madeira wine tastings, market fruit, and classic bites, ending in Zona Velha.
“Friendly, unhurried and fun. Tour guide Matt was an excellent guide who has a lovely relaxed demeanour and knows his stuff. An absolute delight of a tour.”
Make Madeira’s iconic bolo do caco in a family home with a wood-fired oven, then eat fresh bread with garlic butter, cheese, and chouriço.
“We very much enjoyed the experience- The hosts for the experience couldn’t have done anymore, answering any questions we had with a smile. We were even dropped off in the village by one of the hosts. Amazing and would highly recommend the activity to anyone wishing to sample some of Madeira’s culture. Lovely people and we wish them the very best. Anita and Alan”
Market to Plate in Funchal: tour Madeira’s market, taste exotic fruit, watch fusion cooking on a rooftop, and enjoy lunch with wine.
“Our guide was excellent-knowledgeable, professional, and easily enjoyable. The fruits from the marketplace were delicious and it was fun tasting fruits we had not even heard of in some cases. Lunch was also great from watching the chefs prepare and cook the meal, learning about all the foods of Madeira to tasting their phenomenal creations. Money well spent!”

Enjoy a 4-hour Funchal night out with Venezuelan snacks, a sunset drive to Camera de Lobos, custom espetada skewers, and poncha.
“ShutUpAndEatMadeira takes tours to another level. We where on the second Espetada tour they did and it was a great experience. Knowing them i guess it will only get better. We enjoyed the company of Fabio (guide) and Jaki from ShutUpAndEatMadeira. Going to the outskirts of Funchal, drinking the best ponchas and having great bites (dentinhos) in local bars, was wonderfull. De tour takes you to some must see spots in and around Funchal. Doing this during sunset is a plus. The Espetada restaurant was a real local place no tourists except us. Food was great. Go and enjoy an evening with great company at local bars and restaurants, away…”
