Overview

Sample Menu

Starter

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.

We had a wonderful time with Erica learning about Brazilian fruit. Erica did a great job of providing local context and answering all our questions as we tasted some new and all delicious fruit from nearby farms. She also took us around the market and helped us shop which was a lot of fun! I would definitely recommend!

Quite a lot of fruits to sample and enjoy with Caterina. Learned lots about what Brazilians like and eat. I tried them all and there was nothing I would not eat again. All very good!

Epicenter of exotic fruits

Ana_L, May 2024

I'm a hardcore foodie and, despite being Brazilian, I was very surprised by the amount of exotic fruits that I didn't know about! Our tasting guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and generous, so we got to taste all kinds of fruits as well as farmers market products. If you are a foodie and proud, book now!

God save the queen of foods

What a market, with everything one would like to eat, taste and drink. All done by local people with their own flair. What needs someone after this visit? Obviously a hammock and a cat.

Great fruit tour/safari

Saulo_L, May 2024

Our guide was incredible at presenting a myriad of tropical and Brazilian fruits! 🍋🥭🥥🍍🥑 Most are incredibly tasty! Will do it again with my family next time in Rio.
