Blandy's Wine Lodge (Eng. Blandy's Wine Lodge)
Bästa tid att besöka
Visit early morning or late afternoon on weekdays to avoid cruise-ship crowds and busy tour slots. Cooler cellar temperatures make bringing a light layer pleasant.
Budgettips
Guided tours with tasting usually cost about €10-20 per person; there are no regular free days, but seasonal promotions or local tourist passes sometimes offer discounts, so check Blandy's website or the Funchal tourist office. To save money, skip premium vintage upgrades and buy a small tasting or a bottle from the shop instead.

Om
Snabba fakta: Step inside and the warm scent of oak and sun-warmed barrels hits you, while guides highlight ornate labels and a surprisingly vast range of vintages. Tastings often reveal lush, raisined sweetness balanced by brisk acidity, and a single pour can map decades of ageing techniques on your palate.
Höjdpunkter: Descend through narrow stone steps into cedar-scented cellars where oak casks line the walls and the air hangs with warm toffee, candied orange peel, and old wood. A family ledger dating back to 1811 is brought out on certain tours, and guides will ladle a fingertip of amber, centuries-old fortified wine so you can taste honeyed raisin, burnt sugar, and a faint salt breeze on the finish.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes and a light jacket, cellars are cool and floors can be uneven.
- Arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled tour, tastings start on time and spaces are limited.
- Photograph the historic barrel room and the ornate tasting table for the best shots.
- Avoid midsummer cruise days by checking cruise schedules; early weekday visits are quieter.

Gratis guidade vandringar. Ja, faktiskt gratis. Ingen kreditkort krävs. Inga fångster.
Lokal guide, 2-3 timmar

Du ger dricks efter eget tycke
I slutet ger du bara dricks efter eget tycke
Jag har gjort dessa i dussintals städer och de har varit höjdpunkten på nästan varje resa. Om du besöker Funchal, Portugal, gör detta din första dag. Du kommer att tacka mig senare.
