Quinta da Saraiva has always been an agricultural estate since its inception, boasting an extension of almost 5,000 square meters of land all across the property.
Within Quinta da Saraiva, we plant and harvest bananas, grapes, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, cabbage, soursop, figs, squash, and many more fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Please ask our staff for the complete list as well as where they are located within the property.
We are certified producers of “Global Gap” bananas across our 2,000-square-meter banana plantation.
Bananas have been present in Madeira ever since they were introduced in the sixteenth century. Madeira’s most popular varieties are, in order, “Dwarf Cavendish”, “Robusta”, “Grand Naine – Israel”, and “Gal”. Madeira’s total banana cultivated area is close to 850 hectares.
According to Madeiran legislation, at Quinta da Saraiva we sell our bananas across three sub-categories depending on the quality of the crop: 1st category, 2nd category, and the “Extra” category – the latter being the most valuable
We have been producing and harvesting traditional Madeira wine grapes known as Tinta Negra or Negra Mole for over 100 years. Our vineyards extend over an area of 1,000 square meters employing the parreira system wherein our grapes and vines hang from tall wooden or metallic structures, thus never touching the ground. Quinta da Saraiva grapes are used to produce house Madeira wine employing traditional methods within our wine press, the product of which is then stored within our wine cellars and sold under the name José Dinis at Bar Anália.
Quinta da Saraiva has had a goat pen for over 15 years, ever since grandfather (Avô) José Rodrigues Diniz commissioned its construction. We have expanded the pre-existing goat pen to allow our animals to have better exposure to sunlight, as well as a larger area for them to roam.
Quinta da Saraiva also has a chicken coop with several hens.
We recently added guinea pigs to our family! They are very fluffy and cute.
Our cat Mel is our top social media start and spoiled by all of our guests. Mel is an expert at making herself irresistible!
