Thankfully I’m not the only one mad about Madeira. Here you will find others who share my passion. Besides that you will also find more general links that are useful for the Madeira connoisseur.
Wine related
Roy Hersh loves Madeira and thanks to him there’s a place to hang and discuss Madeira wine with other wine nuts. Check out his forum, follow his great newsletter and take part of his tasting notes.
I can’t thank Peter Reutter enough for the work he has put in MWG. What amazing knowledge and what generosity to share it with all of us!
The institute’s role is to coordinate, support, preserve and promote the Madeira wine. Some like them, some don’t. Still, they are protecting and taking care of a unique wine that needs all possible caressing.
General links
Great site to keep updated what’s happening on the island. Also some web-cams where you can dream back and find yourself in Funchal!
You never know the weather in Madeira but this link will help you a bit on the way.
If you’re not going by Charter these are the flight companies to check out if you want to visit.
Great place to stay just 15 minutes east from the city of Funchal. Apartments or houses for rent.
When I get old I will move to Estreito de Camara de Lobos. Until then I’ll settle with this lovely hotel. Don’t forget the Adega da Quinta restaurant.
If money isn’t an issue or you just want to spoil yourself….
