Experience Details

A must for visiting gourmets, this intimate tasting session will introduce you to the highlight cheeses of Madeira.

After this visit, we will proceed with a visit to another small family business that produces "queijadas", tarts made with 70% cottage cheese, flour and sugar. You will watch the preparation and taste this freshly made delicacy.

Afterwards, in a tea house 5 meters way, with a stunning view over the valley and the sea, you will enjoy a refreshing tea made with herbs from the garden, an idyllic and harmonious place, accompanied with local homemade tarts and jams , fresh sweet potato bread and delicious selection of tropical fruit.
