The Tour
The guided visits at our farm travels along ancient paths opened along with the orchards of subtropical fruit trees, often covered by vineyards of Malvasia, the noblest grape variety of the famous Madeira wine.
During the tour, visitors get to know the history of Madeira island, and the process of organic farming used to produce a number of subtropical fruits, some very exotic, and other familiar. Particular emphasis is given to the history of the vine and wine of Madeira, and the reasons for promoting this culture throughout the centuries in this remote and incredibly fertile piece of land.
Our Location
Nine small houses were rebuilt for tourist use. Today they receive guests who have the special possibility to stay in this phenomenal place of huge and dramatic natural beauty.

We loved the Subtropical Fruit Farm tour! Walking through the lush greenery and sampling exotic fruits like passion fruit and custard apples was such a unique experience. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, explaining the history and cultivation of the fruits. A must-do for anyone visiting Madeira!
The Subtropical Fruit Farm tour exceeded our expectations. We not only tasted incredible fresh fruits but also learned so much about Madeira’s agricultural traditions. It was fascinating to see how everything is grown, and tasting the fruits straight from the trees was unbeatable. Highly recommend this tour!
This tour was a highlight of our trip to Madeira! The farm was stunning, and the variety of fruits was amazing. We especially loved trying the local banana and papaya. Our guide made the tour fun and informative, and the fresh fruit tasting was the perfect ending. Can't recommend it enough!
A very interesting experience, hosted by Fatima, who was extremely kind and provided lots of information on the farm, its produce and its history. The fruit tasting at the end of the visit was great. We learned a lot and tried new things, some of which were quite astonishing! We stayed to eat at the restaurant and lounge by the ocean for the afternoon, even though it was overcast that day. A wonderful day in a quiet oasis far from the crowds. We would definitely return again.
Thank you Fatima for showing us around the beautiful farm. The exotic fruit tasting visit comes with an additional cable car experience to get down the cliff, where lush green banana plants lead the way to a few small buildings and a restaurant. If only we knew that there are a few small houses to rent there we would have surely chosen to stay there overnight too. It's a very peaceful green oasis with small private gardens where the only sound is waves crushing against the rocks on the shore. We were amazed at the variety of species of plants on the farm. The walk with Fatima through the plantation was a great opportunity to learn about the history of the place and local organic horticulture practices. The nearly 2-hour-long tour ended with a fruit tasting, the highlight of which was the pitanga and tasting different flavours of exotic fruits grown across the alley. This was a great discovery for us that fruits can enhace each others flavours when eaten in a certain order. We then headed for a lunch at the restaurant few steps away. The views were breathtaking and we had a table right by the pier under a wide umbrella. Food was amazing especially thanks to the use of farm-grown ingredients. A hidden gem and definitely not-to-miss was the jams and mangoes available for sale at the upper cable car station (when you get off , look to your right at the windowsill of the control room). A very friendly operator helped us to choose a few fruits that were good to eat the same day. When we arrived home it turned out that the variety was our guide's favourite (tasted of coco and pina colada!). We never tasted anything like that before. That was a perfect dessert to end the afternoon and we will surely make a detour next time to pass by if it was just to buy more mango. We definitely recommend this experience!
