Just Add Vino — bars in Madeira
Small wine bar in Caniço pouring Madeiran and Portuguese wines by the glass alongside cheese and charcuterie boards. Quiet, chatty and a change of pace from the poncha bars.
About Just Add Vino
Just Add Vino is a wine bar in Caniço de Baixo
Madeira wine is the obvious order — start with a dry Sercial for an aperitif and move to a rich Malmsey if you're staying for cheese. Most wine bars also pour modern Portuguese labels from the Douro and Alentejo.
