Hands-on passion fruit workshops in Madeira, where sustainable farming meets the island's cultural heritage. Come to learn the story of the fruit — not just taste it.
The Mark


Paulo's journey began with a love for farming — cultivating passion fruit on Madeira with respect for the land, blending centuries-old knowledge with sustainable methods. Through the MadPassion project, backed by the SMARTIES for SMEs programme, ACIF and the European Union, he's now opening his fields to visitors from around the world. To him, passion fruit is more than a fruit — it's a story of tradition, taste and community. So instead of just selling what he grows, he shares how he grows it: through hands-on workshops, out in the field, one visit at a time.
