Events

As a rule, throughout the country, September is the time to collect the fruit that will give rise to the most intoxicating nectars of the gods, the grape.

The charming island of Madeira is no exception and celebrates the moment with "The Harvest Festival", an event that annually brings together – during the first days of September – a pilgrimage of people who come to watch the party that takes place in Estreito. Here you will see recreated the hard but joyful work of the harvest, an essential phase in the preparation of Madeira's most famous product, its wine. As it could not be otherwise, gastronomy could not be missing in these festivities, always accompanied by strong musical entertainment by various groups and bands from the region, as well as artists from the national artistic panorama.
