Wine Tour

We went for a tour of the lovely vineyard in Quinta do Miradouro called Adega do Cantor Sociedade de Vitivinicultura, which is apparently owned by Sir Cliff Richard himself! Lovely wine and a beautiful place.

Wine Bar do Castelo

What can I say after tasting a 1883 Madeira Wine? This was the best wine tasting experience I can remember! The service is amazing and everyone is very, very nice. And they actually know about wine. A very good selection of Portuguese cheeses and meats to nibble on.

Eco Tour Farmara (Local Charms)

posted by mbrice on 19 January 2011 at 11:56

Although i'm not a fan of tours it seemed the best way to see a little more of the island without the hassle of hiring a car. We chose an eco tour from the village of Famara where I was blown away by the beauty of the beach and the delicious tapas (although the health products they sold weren't that great), then onto the Cesar Manrique Foundation and finally a drive into the wine region for some tasting. Great day out.

where, when, how, web
We got picked up from our hotel, although others on the tour had had to make their own way there.

Constantina Valley

My wife and I are big fans of SA wine so we couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit the vineyard region, so we hired a car and headed off. We stopped when we wanted and took short strolls, and felt in the middle of nowhere, until we came across a tasty lunch menu. In the afternoon we explored some more, bought some wine and went back to the hotel to enjoy it. Perfection.

where, when, how, web
out to the southwest, we just asked the hotel staff where to head and made it up from there
