Get a taste of Madeira
You might know Barbeito Madeiras, as it has been imported into the UK by Raymond Reynolds for some time.
Now, there is a new range of wines launched by Blandy’s, the family company which just celebrated its 200 years of local existence and also owns Madeira’s most famous hotels, the all-important travel agency and the local paper.
Together with names such as Cossart Gordon, Leacock and Rutherford & Miles, Blandy’s constitutes the Madeira Wine Company, whose much-visited cellars occupy part of a 17th-century Franciscan monastery in the middle of Funchal.
So why not savor the embodied spirit of the island directly at its place of birth? Surrounded by the astonishing magic of nature, the ocean breeze and all it has to offer.

Madeira Islands Open 2012
The European Tours heads towards The Madeira Islands where Santo da Serra golf course will host this year’s Madeira Island open. The Open returns to this special golf course for the first time since 2008.
The last three Madeira Islands Open were held at Porto Santo Golfe. Northern Irishman Michael Hoey was last year’s winner. Englishman James Morrison and Argentine Estanislao Goya were the other victors at Porto Santo in 2010 and 2009 respectively, while Scotsman Alastair Forsyth was the last player to win at Santo da Serra, in 2008.
Madeira Island golf is special.
English Golfer Chris Gane will be one of many golfers competing for the prize money. He was quoted on the European Tour website:
“I’ve played here many times – it’s a beautiful course, especially the third and fourth holes,” he said. “When the wind blows it can get very interesting. It’s a unique one in that play can be suspended at the top of the hill because you can’t see your hand in front of your face for fog, but down the hill the holes are fine and the guys are still playing.
“You get every type of weather here. It’s probably the only course in the world where the wind blows upwards. It’s unpredictable but I know the course well and hopefully I can play well again."
Welshman Bradley Dredge, a previous winner of the event (2003) will also be taking part this year.
"I always enjoy coming to the island of Madeira," Dredge told Europeantour.com. "The course has improved every year so I'm looking forward to going back there. The food is always really great in the nice restaurants there and we stay in a good hotel.
"It's always nice to come back to a place where I've played well in the past.
