The private tour, read carefully
The Private Tour is €150.00, source: Blandy's Wine Lodge, 2026, read August 26, 2026. That figure is per person, for a group of two to four people, over an hour, with six premium wines including a Vintage.
Per person, not per group. A pair booking it are committing to twice that number.
Practicalities
Tours run through the day in several languages and cancellation is free up to twenty-four hours before the visit. The lodge is in central Funchal and entirely indoors.
That last point makes it a solid rainy-day choice: the north coast can be under water and this is unaffected.
What is not perfect about it
The most expensive tour is priced per person and needs a group of two to four, so a couple booking it are paying twice, not splitting it. That is stated on the operator’s page and misread constantly.
