Did you know that this is one of the few regions in the world that produces mountain wines? One of the charms of the Madeira Wines Route is, precisely, the diversity of scenarios it offers. The landscape of the wine-growing autonomous region, spread over the islands of Madeira and Porto Santo, has around 500 hectares of vineyards. These plots of land can be found both at sea level and at higher elevations, at an altitude of 700 metres.

The production of wine with Protected Denomination of Origin "Madeira" (PDO Madeira) and "Madeirense" (PDO Madeirense), as well as the wine with Protected Geographical Indication "Terras Madeirenses" (PGI Terras Madeirenses), is mainly carried out in slopes/terraces. Ingeniously built by human hand, supported by stone walls, they allow cultivation on very steep slopes. Resembling a staircase, they offer a unique peculiarity to the framings of the archipelago.
