If you're a tourist who appreciates an off-the-beaten-path-vibe, this is the place for your Madeira wine experience! It's up the hill from the touristy places, quieter and really friendly. We did a tour with Maria, which was so informative, and then shared the tasting that had 6 different styles from 5-39 years old. We were left alone to taste so we didn't feel rushed, took lots of notes and pictures, admired the murals painted by the famous artist Max Romer, and just relax. Plus they give you a taste of honey cake and ginger cookies from Riberia Seco, which were delicious! Highly recommend!

We popped in for a tasting of six Tinta Negra wines (for €22). It's a nice, clean space, and the person guiding our tasting was helpful.

We booked a tour and tasting at the winery using their website. Nice and simple and we went for the gold tour at €35 for the both of us. For November the weather was very warm and sunny so we were pretty hot by the time we had walked there. The young woman who greeted us also carried out the tour and she made sure we had a refreshing glass of water and somewhere to sit while we waited. Borges is very family oriented with a relatively small team. The building is packed with history and we found the talk and tour fascinating. After the tour we were able to taste and enjoy three very good glasses of quality Madeiran wine along with some delicious biscuits and cakes. Excellent tour and great value. You definitely do not need to be an expert on wine to enjoy this. Highly recommend.
