Don’t miss this wonderful experience! - The mushroom farm is beautiful & easy to find. This father & son mushroom farm is a wonderful insight into the mushroom world. We learnt so much & we’re spellbound from start to finish. The tasting is more of a meal with extras you can order (highly recommend Sa sinia grilled mushrooms & mushroom caneloni). Included in the price is also a drink …soft drink, local wine or beer. The shop is filled with their mushrooms …dried, marmalade, powders, risotto packs & other frozen delights. Can recommend arroz de Bolets - risotto delicious & so easy , just add 1 litre water & wait 15 minutes. Can’t recommend this new experience enough. When word gets around I’m sure it will be hard to book a place!

Fun and informative visit! - It was the best thing i did in menorca, the father and son are absolutely great! So sweet and helpfull. They provide us so much information about mushrooms, how to grow them and how they do it and how you can try it at home. It was fun to learn so much about it! After the tour we got to taste some dishes which were very tasty. And I also ended up buying a few of their mushroom products to try back at home! Would really recommend to visit these people and support them. They deserve it. ;)

Just wonderful! - An absolutely beautiful family run business with an inordinate amount of knowledge and culinary experience! What you don’t know about mushrooms, you will when you leave! The food is exquisite and the passion that shines from son and father is gorgeous! They were so friendly and hospitable and could not do enough for us! I would definitely recommend this knowledgable and friendly experience. You get to see the business began and step-by-step how the mushrooms are cultivated and then produced and used to create some beautiful dishes which you can try along with a free drink at the end! (They were that good that my partner and I stayed for more at only €4.50 each!) just wonderful! Thankyou so much!

Educational and Delicious! - An amazing experience from beginning to end. Learned so much about cultivating mushrooms and mushrooms/fungus in general. We wanted to do something educational and fun with the kids and glad we chose this tour. The tour of the “farm” was very engaging and hands on. Ended with some delicious mushroom tapas and even had ordered more! We were very impressed with this father and son team and all they had done. Highly recommend for anyone who loves to learn and mushrooms!

100% RECOMMENDABLE - The other day I visited the place with my friends and it was a fantastic experience. They gave us an explanation of the cultivation process, from substrate preparation to harvest. We learned how to grow mushrooms at home and discovered the different types that there are and that they grow, we had a great time.
It’s a world we didn’t know and we were really looking forward to preparing our small crop at home.
The passion and knowledge of father and son made the visit even more special.
Super recommended!!
Thank you very much.
