Companhia dos Engenhos do Norte (Porto da Cruz)

Steam-powered sugarcane rum distillery — free tastings

Operating since 1927, this distillery is a living museum of Madeira’s sugarcane past. In spring, you can watch cane being crushed and distilled; year-round, you can sample aguardente (used for poncha) for free.

Insider tips

  • Best combined with Larano coastal hike or Porto da Cruz surf beach.

  • Try their aged rum for smoother flavor — not just for poncha.
