We visit “Patricio & Gouveia”, a leading embroidery factory, where the intricate work of exquisite patterns can be seen. Following a visit to the Botanical Gardens the tour concludes at the Madeira Wine Company, where you may wish to sample the local wine.

Day 5 Boxing Day, Eira do Serrado – Monte – Funchal
This morning, we have arranged a tour into the heart of the island to Eira do Serrado from where there is an inspiring view down into the valley, surrounded by volcanic mountains. Travel on to Monte, a hill-town above Funchal, to visit Lady of the church of Nossa Senhora do Monte set in its own evergreen gardens.

Day 6 Funchal
Today is at leisure to further explore Funchal. However, for those wishing to escape the bustle of Funchal and discover all the natural beauty this island has to offer, you may wish to participate in an ‘optional’ tour to the north coast. The tour encompasses all that Madeira has to offer from the varied species of plants, bougainvillea, bird-of-paradise and hibiscus in their natural environment, to the lush vegetation, cascading waterfalls and dramatic coastline. This evening is free to dine out at leisure.

Day 7 Funchal
This morning there is an opportunity to take an ‘optional’ visit to Pico do Arieiro.

Travelling back down through Santo da Serra to the eastern point of Ponta de Sao Lourenco to experience magnificent views, your final stop will be at Matur to enjoy the view of Machico village. This afternoon you are free to explore and take in the natural beauty of the island.
