Fantastic experience for coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers alike! - This Bean to Cup Experience was a definite highlight of our group's trip. Our host, Julie was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. The tour felt very complete and well paced as we got to experience and participate in seeing the coffee go “from bean to cup." Their space is beautiful, as we got to enjoy time both learning about their history, and interacting with the animals that they have on the farm (their dogs are extremely cute). At the end of the tour, it was fun to participate in a coffee tasting, where we were able to try 4-5 different samples from their farm. They were delicious, and we even bought beans to bring home. The traditional Colombian lunch that the tour provided was everything that we could have asked for. Lastly, this is a fun experience to do with other travelling groups as well.

A personalized heaven for coffee lovers - This experience was everything a coffee lover could ask for! Julie and the Casa Grande team lead us through a rich and detailed account of coffee’s place in Colombia both historically and ecologically. Being able to pick coffee right from the plant while overlooking the endless green jungle was a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life! I learned so much about the immense amount of labour that goes into coffee production, and this experienced opened my eyes to new ways I can love coffee. The provided home cooked meal in the historic Hacienda felt like I was welcomed as a guest of the family, and of course the provided coffee was nothing short of delicious.

Amazing coffee tour experience - even for someone who doesn’t drink coffee! - What an amazing experience! I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this tour and I’m not even a coffee enthusiast. The hacienda is a beautiful 18th century house with a large serene property. We were greeted by Julie, our tour guide, who was so knowledgeable and kind. There are also a number of loose happy dogs on the property but they were very polite and honestly lovely. I learned so much about the coffee plant, the harvesting process, and about how much labor goes into a cup of coffee! After walking around the property, we had some time to chill on the hacienda balcony porch and I just loved how peaceful it was. I never felt rushed and took my time enjoying the tour. We had a traditional family-style lunch and it was one of the top meals I has during this trip - amazing! The tour finishes with a coffee tasting where we learn how flavours are added to coffee. They provided 5 espresso cups of coffee and I was so satisfied by the end of the tour. I ended up buying coffee beans and coffee tea. Without a doubt, I would recommend this tour to everyone I know.

The best tour in Medellin! - What a great experience! We both loved the tour. Walter was extremely knowledgeable. We got to walk through the coffee farm and pick some ripe berries. Lunch was fantastic and we also met the owner.

Coffee craftsmanship from bean to cup - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My visit to La Casa Grande Hacienda was an unforgettable experience, and I can't recommend it enough! Our tour guide, Walter, was exceptional, offering the tour in English, which made it accessible and enjoyable for us. His assistant Liceth also helped to balance the tour. This tour goes far beyond just seeing coffee plants. Walter provided a deep dive into the rich history, culture, philosophy, and science behind coffee production, both globally and right there on their farm. It was fascinating to learn about the intricate process of growing and brewing coffee, and how it differs from place to place. The coffee tasting session was a highlight, allowing us to truly appreciate the subtle and distinct differences among various coffees. What sets this farm apart is the dedication to quality. The coffee produced here is a stark contrast to what you get from large, big-box companies. The attention to detail in every step of the process is evident in the taste of their coffee—each cup is a testament to their commitment to excellence. If you’re passionate about coffee or just curious to learn more, this tour is a must. You'll leave with not just a great understanding of coffee, but also a newfound appreciation for the craftsmanship that goes into creating a truly great cup. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My visit to La Casa Grande Hacienda was an unforgettable experience and I cannot recommend it enough.

Incredible experience - The tour was incredible. Highly recommend if you want an immersive experience that has phenomenal views, education, delicious lunch, interesting information and top tier coffee. We had Alejandro as our guide, and hope we’re lucky enough to have him again when we go back. He was fantastic. He also went out of his way to translate for both English and Spanish speakers. 5 stars, 10 out of 10, two thumbs up, etc. Insert your favorite evaluative expression for a perfect experience and that’s both La Casa Grande Hacienda and Alejandro.

Fantastic Tour Experience - This was one of the highlights of our two-week trip to Colombia. We were picked up and returned to a general meeting spot and driven to the coffee plantation. Our tour guide was Alejandro. He was very entertaining, informative, knowledgeable, and friendly. We were given an excellent introduction to coffee farming, including the opportunity to go up into the mountain to pick coffee. A full-sized lunch was provided as well as coffee tasting. We would highly recommend this experience. Such good value for the experience. We can't say enough of Alejandro and the staff at the hacienda and the fantastic day we had (8.5 hours from pick-up to drop-off)

I'm not coming back, Recoletos 21 Madrid - We ordered a sea bream ham for black, they brought us a ham that was not even class 4. We ask for service I am disabled so let's see how the step goes up. My friend and I feel trapped Very high price for an inedible and unacceptable dish, and a small entrance I understand that in the past it was the meeting place for the literati of Madrid, "create fame and get started..." my advice is not to waste your money on that place.
