Far off the west coast of Africa lies the island of Madeira with breathtaking sea cliffs, lush and misty valleys and stark mountain terracing. With a warm climate all year round the 'Pearl of the Atlantic' offers you a chance to escape into a peaceful haven with dazzling flora. Nothing to do with cooking wine, a true Madeira, be it bone dry or rich and sweet, is probably the longest living and surely the most underrated wine in the world. We explore much of this enchanted isle, by footpath and scenic levada watercourse, trying traditional Madeiran wines on the way. Our small hotels and private houses are chosen for their ambience, welcome and good food which is dominated by excellent sea food and wonderful fruit from the sub-tropical climate.
