Our Producer
Our farm is an organic farm with a unique and special location by the sea, on the south coast of Madeira Island.
We access the property by a state-of-the-art cable car that efficiently and comfortably transports visitors along a huge cliff over 300 meters down to our farm on an amazingly scenic trip that lasts about three minutes.
The upper station of the cable car is located at road level in Quinta Grande and has some parking spaces which are complemented by more parking along the access road. The lower station is located at our farm, about 500 meters from an exclusive pebble beach and the local restaurant.
A small pier and a solarium are very inviting for a dive in the sea. The sea is normally quite calm and beautiful, with transparent waters and a mild temperature. There are showers and cabins available to visitors.
Our farm has a restaurant opened for lunch. The restaurant is known for using locally grown organic products and for serving especially fresh fish. It has a beautiful terrace overlooking the sea.
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!
