Madeira embroidery is a unique style of embroidery that can be found in Madeira at Bordal. Founded in 1962, Bordal is one of the main manufacturers and exporters of the famous Madeira embroidery. With approximately 40.000 designs, they specialize in pieces for tables, bed linen, and baby clothing, using the finest linens and cotton. When you visit Bordal, you can watch the making of embroidery work, take a historical tour of Madeira embroidery, participate in a workshop or purchase your very own souvenir!
Madeira wine is a fortified wine. It’s produced and bottled on the Portuguese Madeira Islands, just off the east coast of Portugal (also the namesake of the wine). It is a type of wine that uses a specific grape variety, using unique techniques that have been passed through generations. You can visit these locations in Madeira to taste some of the island’s best wine and purchase bottled wine to take home. Alternatively, you can also buy bottled Madeira wine online.

One of the most historically and culturally important products in Madeira is the sugarcane syrup (Mel de Cana).The plantations of sugarcane, or sweet cane, are as old as the first steps made by men in the transformation of Madeira’s landscape. But sugarcane syrup is much more than a part of Madeira’s history. It’s a living product, modern, constantly adapting and whose art makes Fábrica Mel-de-Cana Ribeiro Sêco, the most distinguished representative of honey, nowadays. You can purchase it directly from the Fabrica or also at supermarkets across the island.
