Weddings at Palheiro Estate

The guest chef this year will be Vincent Farges who is the Executive chef at the Forteleza do Guincho.

“Our experience at our wedding was excellent, since arriving at the hotel we felt well looked after. The weather and beautiful landscapes were spectacular, but best of all were the gardens surrounding the chapel of the Casa Velha.

Joining him will be the head chefs at Casa Velha do Palheiro - Madeira born Chef Francisco Quintal and French Chef Eric Weidmann - who will be using their vast experience of Casa Velha haute cuisine whilst showcasing all the gastronomic delights the region has to offer. Specially chosen Portuguese and Madeira wines from the Blandy Wine vaults will complement this Autumnal menu.

Visitors to Madeira and Casa Velha do Palheiro are invited to make reservations for dinner at their earliest convenience to avoid disappointment.

When we arrived at the Palheiro Golf Clubhouse for the reception we were impressed, it was an extreme makeover and our dream come true. We are immensely grateful for all the attention especially from Mrs. Cátia of Casa Velha, Mr. Mario Henriques and Ms. Patricia Rodrigues, who helped us with the planning from the moment we chose Palheiro as the venue for our wedding; it really was a team effort and that reflected in our marriage. “
