Raise a glass to Palheiro Golf
Imagine if Carlsberg owned a Danish
course which was probably the best
course in the world; or if Stella Artois
could lay claim to a reassuringly
expensive resort in Belgium. Like beer,
golf and wine, of course, is not an unusual partnership.
Many golfers enjoy a post-round glass; some clubs even
have their own vineyards; but few, if any, can match the
intrinsic link between the two enjoyed by Palheiro Golf,
in Madeira. For the owners of the beautiful Palheiro
Nature Estate - which encompasses the highly acclaimed
Cabell B Robinson-designed course and the stunning
five-star Hotel Casa Velha do Palheiro - also own
Madeira’s premier distillery, ensuring a steady supply of
the best local wines in the 19th hole.
