Good To Know
Welcome to the Blandy's Wine Lodge, where every sip tells a story and even the walls have their say! Picture this: sunlight peeking through brick roofs, sturdy stone walls keeping secrets, and creaky wooden floors adding character to every step you take.
Now, imagine wandering through a maze of rooms, each with its own vibe. It's like a wine wonderland where every corner holds a surprise. The eastern warehouse? It's like a time machine, housing wines dating back to 1920. And down below, tucked away in the family's private vintage collection, it's like stumbling upon buried treasure.
But wait, there's more! The museum is like a treasure trove of history, from letters signed by Sir Winston Churchill to coins minted by Blandy's bank. And don't miss the island's oldest wooden lagar—it's practically a relic from another era!
Feeling artsy? Step into the main tasting room, adorned with murals by the legendary Max Römer. It's like being whisked away to a vineyard paradise while you sample the finest wines.
And speaking of fine wines, the Vintage room is where the magic happens. It's like a sacred temple for Blandy's rarest and oldest Madeira wines, where each sip is a journey through time. Ever tried Blandy's Bual 1920? Prepare for a taste sensation!
Today, the Wine Lodge is still bustling with activity, with barrels and vats cradling our finest wines like prized possessions. So come on in, grab a glass, and let's toast to the rich history and flavors of Madeira!
