  • Meal

OVERVIEW

Sample several characteristic Madeira wines followed by an extraordinary lunch of grilled fish prepared in a simple and traditional way. The venues for these inspiring experiences are along the island’s precipitous southern coast, where you will first pause at Cabo Girão, one of Europe’s highest sea cliffs. From the glass-floored skywalk that juts over the escarpment, the views will be breathtaking. Nearby, you will find Otavio Ferraz, a family-owned winery on a property that was once a banana plantation. The terroir is even better suited for growing red grapes such as Tempranillo and whites that include Verdelho and Arnsburger. A tasting of varietals and blends will reveal their attributes. At the restaurant Vila do Peixe in the Old Town section of Câmara de Lobos, you will dine on fresh fish caught that day. It will be seasoned solely with rock salt and olive oil before being grilled over an open flame.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Take in the views from a skywalk that extends over one of Europe’s highest sea cliffs.
