A free self guided tour that offered free samples at the end. We enjoyed it. The people that work there are really friendly and helpful. They have other snacks for purchase, which were delicious. We walked there from the cruise port.

It was fascinating to learn how pineapples are cultivated and to see greenhouses full of pineapples at various stages of growth. It was particularly wonderful to see a flowering pineapple plant. There is no fee to enter the plantation or to park. You can walk through 2 greenhouses. Explanations are accessible via QR codes on big posters. At the end, you can have free pineapple jam on toast and pineapple liquor and order fresh pineapple to savor. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Lovely visit yesterday with husband. Informative display in English and Portuguese showing pineapple growing cycle. Tasting of pineapple jam and liqueur with opportunity to buy products from shop and sample others at on-site cafe. Pineapple caipirinha and juice were both yummy and the plantation’s pineapple was a revelation with its zingy taste. Would definitely recommend if you want to while away an hour in Ponta Delgada

There isn't a whole lot to see here. Basically it's a walk through several greenhouses showing the stages of pineapple growth. We piggybacked on a bus tour guide which was much better than wandering around alone. There's a nice cafeteria selling everything pineapple flavoured. The pineapple gelato is especially nice. It's definitely true that these pineapples are better than the more common Hawaian style ones.

Very nice and easy self-guided tour. I didn't have mobile data and was sad to not be able to use the QR codes of information, but the very friendly staff connected my phone to the wifi so I did the whole tour again to enjoy it with the online information. The whole visit is short but very informative and easy to complete. It has a short video, a small exhibit and two grenhouses you can walk through, plus 14 QR codes you can scan. The tour is free, so it felt normal to go to the restaurant and/or the shop to try some products and encourage the place. We tasted the fresh pineapples and... it's cool that it's fresh and local, but it's not the best nor the sweetest pineapple we ever had. We enjoyed the vinegar and the liquor though! We heard that the Arruda plantation was more interesting, but we are very satisfied with this one, especially considering that it is at a walkable distance from downtown Ponta Delgada.

We visited several places and attractions on São Miguel, but I think this was my absolute favorite. The pineapple plantation was incredibly interesting, and you learn a lot about the history of pineapples on the Azores. The visit is free, and you can see the different stages of pineapple growth. What I really loved was the souvenir shop where you could buy some amazing products. To make sure you actually like them, you could order a tasting platter and enjoy it in the charming backyard. The platter was delicious, and of course, a tasty cocktail like a Piña Colada was a must. For me, this place is an absolute must-visit on São Miguel.
