Highlights
  • MedellinDayTrips - From your hotel we head to the coffee farm in our comfortable private car.

Once there, a charming married couple of farmers welcomes us with a delicious cup of coffee.

While you are enjoying a nice cup of coffee, the expert gives you an informative introduction into the world of Colombian coffee. Feel free to ask any questions.

As you listen and participate of the conversation, we begin to give you the coffee we produce in different brewing methods and then we explain the different flavor notes in each of them, so you learn to differenciate the sour, bitter and sweet characteristics of the coffee.

After this very entertaining introduction, we continue with the next activity: planting the coffee seeds in the seedbed as we explain the timeline for each stage when they are growing into a tree.

After we have more context we begin the walk around the coffee plantation.

Before we do it we provide you buckets, hats and rain boots to do the activity with a proper outfit.

Best Experience with Laura! - This tour was absolutely amazing! Laura picks you up directly from your hotel and her English is perfect! She takes you to a local coffee farm where you get to taste the coffee and pick the coffee. You also watch the coffee go through the process from the bean to the cup. The tour is very interactive and you are able to participate every step of the way. Laura made the experience so fun and informative. I cannot recommend this tour enough. And a huge plus is it is semi-private (only 4 people total on the tour)!

Great lessons, views, 6 of course coffee! - Our guide Laura was awesome! She picked us up on time as scheduled. She explained things in perfect English so my husband didn't have to translate and we learned so so much! The views while picking were beautiful. The coffee lessons were great and will be applied...the tasting was yummy! We really appreciate all we learned and the wonderful hospitality from Don Antonio and Laura! Definitely recommend this tour for coffee loving and coffee curious people seeking more interactive personalized experiences.

Beautiful mountain side coffee tour - Very personalized tour, where you can see and experience how of a relatively small farm the coffee goes from been to plant and back to bean. Yuly was an excellent tour guide and the family of farmers were extremely kind and knowledgeable on everything coffee. The farm dogs and chickens were also a huge hit with the girls. 100% recommended.

Wonderful Experience In Beautiful Surroundings - Absolutely loved this experience. Laura is an amazing guide and she made the experience fun, enjoyable & memorable. She clearly knows a lot about the plantation & gets on well with the owners. It was fascinating to learn the production process, from planting, to harvesting & roasting. We even made coffee in a variety of methods to see which we preferred. Highly recommend this as a half day tour, you will learn loads in beautiful surroundings & enjoy some delicious coffee along the way.

Great experience, highly recommend - I went on this tour with a friend and I would highly recommend this tour. We were picked up at our hotel on time and we were driven to the coffee farm. We learned a lot about Colombian history and about Colombian culture on our drive. Once we got to the farm we had their coffee prepared 4 ways. We then hiked a bit on their farm, picked some coffee beans, and saw the whole process of how coffee is taken from a ripe, red bean to roasted coffee. It was a great experience!
