Have a tour of Blandy’s Madeira Wine Lodge
Today we visited the Blandy Madeira wine lodge. This is situated in the centre of Funchal a short walk down from the presidential gardens. The Blandy wine company offers three tours at different prices each offering different things. We opted for the premium tour (middle) which included a tasting, explanation of vine to wine and a visit to the museum. Most of the action takes place away from here in their winery however you do get to know a little bit of the history and the different vintages/varieties available. There are some really interesting letters from Churchill to Blandy’s detailing his gratitude for their gifts of Madeira wines.
Sounds nice, probably the tasting was too! Cheers.
Thank you. Yea was good. David
