Madeira's grape harvest season is a celebrated time of the year. What better way to take part in the festivities than helping make wine the traditional way – using your feet. With a guide and lunch included, get ready for an afternoon of fun on the biggest festival day of the calendar.
We kick off with a visit to Pico de Arieiro – one of the highest peaks on the island. Then, it's on to a clifftop restaurant boasting dramatic views over the Atlantic. Greeted by the sounds of a folklore group, you'll be served a wine apéritif and enjoy typical Madeiran lunch.
Eat up because you'll need the energy. The highlight of the day is the grape pressing. Going barefoot, you can join in on one of the oldest methods of wine production in the world. And after all that stomping, you'll need a drink. So, a wine-tasting session, hosted by an expert, rounds off your day.
