What you can expect

Learn the art of preparing Poncha and uncover the secrets of Madeira Wine in an authentic and welcoming setting. This cultural experience begins with a warm introduction to the history of Madeira Island and the origins of its most iconic drinks. Guests will learn about the traditions behind Poncha, how it became part of local identity, and the unique characteristics that make Madeira Wine world-renowned.

Next, participants will be guided step by step through the traditional preparation of Poncha. You will discover the importance of each ingredient — local sugarcane rum, fresh citrus juice, and honey — and learn the correct techniques for mixing and balancing flavours. After the demonstration, you will have the opportunity to prepare your own Poncha, experiencing the process first-hand.

The experience continues with a tasting of Madeira Wine, where you will explore their aromas, flavours, and ageing methods. Alongside the drinks, enjoy a selection of typical local snacks that perfectly complement the tasting. Throughout the activity, there will be time for stories, questions, and relaxed conversation in a calm, local atmosphere. This is more than a tasting — it is a true immersion into the culture, flavours, and traditions of Madeira Island.
