In the fall, it's possible to see how unique Madeira wine is being born. In addition, in late August or early September, the city of Funchal becomes a destination for true wine lovers from all over the world who come to participate in the wine festival.
Closed for traffic Avenida Arriaga features displays and reenactment of the wine-making process, concerts by local folklore and traditional Madeiran music bands and, of course, a lot of wine tasting.
