Ecovinyassa — Attraction in Sóller

This has been a super positive surprise during our time on Mallorca. We did not read much about this finca and did not really have any expectations. Especially after having tried and seen other fincas (oil refineries, or other crafts fincas) which were rather disappointing. But this one turned out to be a real gem. Right at the beginning, we got an explanation on how the self-guided tour work from a nice lady at the entrance - also handing us two bottles of water, since it was quite hot. We started the tour - for every tree or plant there is an info chart, explaining the details about it. You can go at your own pace and mid-tour you reach a pause-spot, where a little basket with one orange (and knife to cut it) per person is waiting for you to take a natural refreshment in the shade of orange trees. After the tour is finished, you get to sit down in the nice bistro under a big tree, being served with a selection of house-made marmelade, freshly squeezed orange juice and tomator bread, making for a light lunch - all included in the price of 12€ per person. You really can't ask for more. The staff is attentive, friendly and very helpful. The complete tour also is stroller-friendly, in case you're arriving with little children. The parking situation is a bit tricky, since you have to park on the street in front of the finca - but it was no problem finding a spot, as it's far enough outside of the city. Total...

Wunder schön! Ein absolutes muss! Damit es nicht so überlaufen wird ist hier eine Reservierung nötig über die Webseite. Zudem ist ein Eintritt von 12€ p.p zu zahlen. Doch es lohnt sich wirklich. Angekommen wird man von der freundlichen Besitzerin empfangen, eine kurze Erklärung der Wege und es gibt ein gekühltes Wasser für jeden. Man selbst wird nicht geführt sondern kann selbständig durch die Farm laufen. Als erstes sieht und hört man hier eine kleine Hühner Farm die auch begangen werden kann, für Kinder gibt es hier auch einen kleinen Eimer mit Mais zum füttern. Ab hier haben unsere Herzen schon hoch geschlagen. Dann ging es weiter zu den ersten Orangenbäumen in den verschiedensten Sorten. Ein super Anblick mit der tollen Kulisse der Berge im Hintergrund. Es gibt kleine Wege die einen durch das Gelände führen, abgesperrt ist jedoch nichts und man kann sich frei bewegen. Die verschiedenen Arten sind beschildert und man kann sich in mehreren Sprachen belesen. Nach einer Weile des erforschens kommt man an einen kleinen Rastplatz wo ein handschriftlich geschriebener Zettel mit dem Reservierungsnamen im Korb und frischen Orangen wartet. Dann geht es weiter zu den verschiedensten Zitronen Arten, Feigen und Avocados. Am Ende angekommen kann man auf der Terrasse Platz nehmen und bekommt frisches Vollkornbrot mit Tomaten und Olivenöl für jeden. Im Anschluss werden nochmal verschiedene Marmeladensorten zum kosten vorgestellt. Ein kleiner Shop mit den Marmeladen und anderen Kleinigkeiten rundet die Sache ab. Wenn mein sich alles anguckt und kein Zeitstress hat braucht man so ca 1,5-2 Stunden.

Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit dem Service und der Herzlichkeit. Auch das die Farm nicht jeden Tag geöffnet ist zeigt das es hier nicht um Tourismus geht.

Wonder beautiful! An absolute must! So that it is not so crowded, a reservation is necessary via the website. In addition, an entrance fee of 12 € p.p. to pay. But it is really worth it. Arrived one is received by the friendly owner, a short explanation of the ways and there is a chilled water for everyone. One is not guided but can walk independently through the farm. The first thing you see and hear here is a small chicken farm that can also be walked, for children there is also a small bucket of corn to feed. From here our hearts have already beaten high. Then it went on to the first orange trees in different varieties. A great sight with the great backdrop of the mountains in the background. There are small paths that lead you through the area, but nothing is locked and you can move freely. The different species are signposted and you can read in several languages. After a while of exploring you come to a small resting place where a handwritten note with the reservation name in the basket and fresh oranges are waiting. Then it goes on to the various types of lemons, figs and avocados. At the end you can take a seat on the terrace and get fresh wholemeal bread with tomatoes and olive oil for everyone. Subsequently, different types of jam are presented again to taste. A small store with the jams and other little things completes the thing. If my looks at everything and has no time stress, you need about 1.5-2 hours.

We were very satisfied with the service and the cordiality. Also that the farm is not open every day shows that it is not about...

This location is a hidden gem on the island!

It is a bit hidden in a small local town, but can easily be reached by car. We were nicely greeted and introduced to the location. You mainly get to walk down a trail through two plantations. Along the path you find ~60 information stations which tell you about the plants/fruits that you can see or other details of the plantation.

Kids can feed chicken in the first area. In the second area are two resting points where you can taste some of the freshly harvested oranges. At the end of the path you can sit and enjoy a majorcan snack (fresh bread with tomatoes, paprika and olives) together with fresh orange juice or lemon lemonade. As dessert you get to taste the home made marmalades. All snacks, fruits, drinks, etc. are included in the ticket price. There is also a small shop where you can buy these products and some other small gifts from the plantation.

I would highly recommend to book a ticket before...
