Poncha, tascas, and the real bar scene
Madeira's real bar scene, by jeep. Poncha, local food and the tascas tourists never find, with a guide who knows every counter. Launching soon — ask us to be first to know.
Where the poncha is actually made
Our most-read guide is about how to make poncha. The obvious next step is to take you where it’s actually made. The Tasca Tour is Madeira’s real bar scene by jeep — poncha at the counter, local food, and the small traditional tascas that tourists drive straight past.
It’s still being put together, so the details below are placeholders. If it sounds like your kind of afternoon, message us and we’ll tell you the minute it’s bookable.
Poncha at the source
Not the tourist version — poncha mashed and poured the way it's done in the tascas where it belongs, with a guide who knows the good counters from the gimmicks.
The bars tourists never find
Tucked-away tascas you'd drive straight past, reached by jeep with a local who's known them for years.
