Experience Details

Imagine the cool, slippery texture of sliced mango on a warm day, the sweet tang of cashew apples filling the air, and the unexpected zing of acerola. Each bite is a chance to feel Brazil on your tongue—fresh, bold, and unforgettable.


This is your chance to sample Brazil’s hidden gems—jabuticaba, graviola, fruits you won’t spot in supermarkets back home. Each one carries a taste of Brazil’s tropical landscapes, flavours that are hard to find outside its borders.


Guided by a local expert, hear about Brazil’s deep-rooted relationship with these fruits. Discover why the cashew apple holds a special place in Brazilian stories or how jabuticaba is often used in family recipes passed down through generations.


Step into a world of color and movement, where your guide navigates bustling aisles filled with fresh produce and local specialties. Vendors call out, locals gather to buy their favorites, and you’re right in the heart of it, sampling the very best of Brazil’s seasonal treasures.

Sample Menu

Atlantic forest fruits Start with the bright, juicy taste of passion, fruit,
the tangy burst of pitanga, and the soft sweetness of the golden banana—a staple of Brazil’s coastal forests.
STARTER
Central Brazil Fruits: Experience the custard-like texture of sugar apple,
the aromatic depth of guava, and the tropical richness of Palmer mango, each fruit offering a taste of Brazil’s heartland.
STARTER
Amazonian Fruits: Venture into the Amazon with bold flavours like the smooth,
earthy cupuaçu, the tangy açaí berry, and the intense, tropical taste of graviola, a true flavour of the rainforest.
STARTER
Brazilian Backlands Specialties: End the journey with rare backland fruits,
like the refreshing juice of cashew apple, the vibrant, slightly tart umbu, and the rich, caramel notes of sapoti.
