Pereira D'Oliveira

I have visited vineyards and done wine tasting in more than 7 countries and this is my only bad experience. There was no explanation of the wine or introduction to the producer, and the lady who poured the three (basic) wines then left and never returned. She stood chatting with her colleagues a few meters away but resisted all my attempts to make eye contact and get her attention. Eventually we just left. The tasting is free (if that is your priority) but I would have happily paid for a more comprehensive introduction to the wine and a broader array of wines to taste. Instead I found this at Blandy’s and bought 6 liters of excellent wine to take home.

The winery has free tasting. It’s a pity that they don’t do any winery tour, nor do they explain what Madeira they are serving for tasting. Compared to other brands, Oliveira wine is on the more powerful, more intense side, the wine is straight to the point of each Madeira style - very good quality

Nice place, welcoming personal, free tasting of 3yo madeira and some cakes

Great place to taste Madeira wine. Welcoming staff and beautiful site. The decoration could be better! Highly recommend!

We were given four sherry glass sized samples of Madeira wine to taste ... Dry, medium dry, medium sweet and a 5-year old sweet. It was all very relaxed and there was no pressure to purchase. The wines we purchased we're well wrapped in a box and a heavy weight carrier bag.
