Nice setting and views, low key dinner with 10 guests. Food was good, lot of waiting around.
Not sure why minimum characters?

The farm and the view are absolutely incredible. The sunset was the most beautiful we saw all holiday in Madeira! The food and drinks were really tasty and all home cooked and they used produce from the farm. Our group was fun and we had a lovely dinner together.

This was an amazing experience. It’s a must do. The hosts were wonderful, the location is breathtaking and the food was phenomenal. It was a group of 12 people and we all loved the experience. We ate so much, had poncha and wine. Everything he cooked was so delicious. I would do this again when back in madeira.

What a wonderful night! Between the view, tour of the small farm, the simple yet delicious meal, stories of the family, and a wonderful mixed group we had exceptional time. It was easy to find and getting help for parking was efficient. We are very pleased with the night. If I come back to Madeira I will definitely repeat this experience.

My girlfriend and I joined the experience this week and were completely blown away by our hosts, their gorgeous property and breathtaking view, and of course the food.
From beginning to end, we felt welcome and put at ease by both hosts, and were in good company with the other guests throughout.
The experience represents a great opportunity to meet other travellers to Madeira, and compare notes and share recommendations. Huge thanks also to our hosts for their recommendations and everything we learned about the island from them.
The food was the best we’ve experienced in Madeira. Home made, farm to table, heartwarming dishes, and equally exquisite home made red and Portuguese white wine, and, of course, Poncha.
The food kept on coming and our hosts made sure to respect everyone’s preferences and were careful to ensure everybody was satisfied.
Lastly, the views from the property are out of this world. If you’re lucky enough, as we were, to experience a golden sunset, then your evening will have been truly magical.
Highly, highly recommended!

Amazing experience! Andre was an incredible host and chef, his property is beautiful with one of the best views in Madeira, I don’t want to spoil the dinner but all the food and wine was incredible! We also met so many friendly people. Thank you so much! We will be sure to come back.

Andres and Marco were amazing hosts, very knowledgeable and friendly! The food was great! We had a great time and all the other guests were awesome!

Our farm-to-table dinner experience in Madeira was hands down the highlight of our trip! From the moment we arrived, the setting was breathtaking—watching the sunset over the foothills of Funchal with the ocean in the distance felt like something out of a postcard. The tour of the farm gave us a deeper appreciation for the local ingredients and sustainable practices, which were showcased in every dish we tasted. The dinner itself was phenomenal, featuring authentic Madeiran cuisine prepared with such care and creativity. What made the night even more special was the chance to meet people from all over the world, sharing stories and laughs over a truly unforgettable meal. Andres, our host, was incredible—not only for his culinary skill but also for his warmth and hospitality. This was an experience we’ll cherish forever, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Madeira!

Marvelous experience. Beautiful setting overlooking Funchal (be aware that if you decide to walk there as we did from sea level, it is very steep, not for the timid).
The chef delivered a very tasty/plentiful meal in the atmosphere of his garden/home.
Great conversation with the other attendees.
As the parents of a Michelin starred son, and veterans of many trips to Italy, the chef's version of a rosemary panna cotta with passion fruit was to die for!

It was a beautiful farm where we learned about the rich culture madeira has to offer. Highly recommend this activity!

Amazing, unique, personal experience I would completely recommend! From the tour of the family farm, to the delicious food/drink, to the good conversation into the evening with an amazing view. Everything was perfect!
Andrea_G, Aug 2024
It was a great evening! It was lovely to start with a tour around the farm and to learn about traditional Madeiran dishes. Great food,wine and company!

This was without a doubt the highlight of our trip to Madeira. The host started the experience with poncha, then a tour of the property. We enjoyed many food courses, all of which included ample wine, red & white (all we could drink!) There was also no shortage of food. Everything was delicious and the chef explained in detail about what he made, as well as the foods relevancy to Madeira. There were 10 of us in the group, from all different countries. It was fun to get to know everyone and share lots of laughs. The host even allowed us to stay past our allotted time, finishing our wine and having an espresso night cap. If you do one thing in Madeira, you HAVE to do this. It was such a great value too.. so much food and wine for the price!

This is a must do! Awesome evening with Andre - learning about his food garden and eating amazing food & wine.
The view is spectacular. We would definitely do this again!

recantofoodexperience was a great Viator experience. Andrew started off the event by having us walk around his farm while explaining the different fruits and vegetables he grows all around the property. Andre greeted us by making Poncha and served a bunch of local Madeiran food all made using vegetables from his farm. The Espatada was absolutely amazing. I'd definitely recommend this experience.
