Hi,

I presume you're staying in Funchal?

If so try;

The Old Blandy Wine Lodge - very good, does guided tours, has 2 tasting
rooms 1free the other is vintage and costs but you try it.

HM Borges - You can walk around the winery by yourself or just try the wines
in their tasting room.

D'Oliverias - A bit more commercialised but still worth a visit as wine is
free!

There is also a winery just east of Reids Palace, I think its called
Barbeitos or similar.

They are all walkable from the centre of town - ask at your hotel and I'm
sure they will point them out on a map.

We didn't get there but the one I also wanted to visit is in Ribeiro Brava
the next major town east of Funchal - Henriques & Henriques.

Definitely buy the wine at the wineries if you can - some will ship home for
you.

Hope this helps
