Vila Alencastre em Porto Santo

20/12/2024: We had a chance to visit local adegas in Azores but never one in Madeira so it was cool to get this local experience. The place is very scenic too and it's away from other buildings/town making the visit even more pleasant. An added bonus is that it's really on the way to some very nice vista points on the west coast so you can easily combine the visit. The gentlemen that owns this adega gave us some wine samples, and his rum as well - this is not the "Madeira" wine you are thinking off but more traditional version of wine but I wouldn't call it red wine either - it's more of a fruity type of wine, it's hard to describe, we didn't love it nor hate it, just not our thing, but that rum! I took 2 bottles with me! We paid cash for everything and the prices were very reasonable The drip from the main road is fine so don't worry about the arrival - we had an SUV but I would easily take the drive in a small passenger car as well

27/10/2024: Óptimo, excelente. O ambiente é propício a um jantar de família, muito sossegado, a decoração do restaurante está a condizer com as ementas disponibilizadas. As pessoas, dono inclusivé são extremamente simpáticas. A carne das espetadas é divinal !
