Located in the Sé area, in Funchal, the institute is situated in a central part of the city. It is found in an easily accessible urban environment, characteristic of this historic part of Funchal.
The Madeira Wine, Embroidery and Handicraft Institute plays a fundamental role for those visiting the island and seeking its most emblematic traditional products. This body ensures the quality and authenticity of the famous Madeira Wine, the delicate Embroideries, and regional Handicrafts. Its work guarantees that what visitors find in the market meets rigorous quality standards, representing the genuine value of Madeiran production.
The existence of IVBAM reflects a long-standing commitment to Madeira's traditions. It stems from the merger of entities previously dedicated specifically to Madeira Wine and to Embroideries and Handicrafts. This fusion consolidates decades of work in protecting and valuing these crafts and products, which are an integral part of the island's cultural identity, representing a historical legacy in the regulation and promotion of these essential activities for the region.
