Hacienda Alsacia Starbucks Coffe Tour

I went to honor my mom who loved coffee and wanted to go to Costa Rica and couldn’t due to treatment. The tour guide was really good, it’s very informative, shows you the process of the coffee and at the end they give you a little bit of coffee to try. Honestly I loved the tour to be a person who doesn’t drink coffee at all. I loved the Hacienda it self and loved the staff as well.

The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Farmed coffee for many years. The food, disappointingly, is usual factory farmed Starbucks food. They could and should do much better. I learned a bit about coffee. It was worth it. Tasting at end was modest.

Knowledgeable guide that showed us the history of coffee industry. Great location for a mountain view!

It was a great experience and the guide knew a lot.

Every person who enjoys coffee should go on this tour, ticos and visitants. It’s such a rich enlightening experience! The guide was fantastic, the Alsacia state is pleasure for the sight. I recommend arriving early to enjoy breakfast before the tour. I will definitely return soon.

The tour was great and the food/drinks were fantastic! Beautiful view! I am glad I was able to book this one solo on TripAdvisor because the regular website only allowed reservations for 2+ people, which does not make any sense.

Hacienda out of operation; what nobody tells you is that the hacienda is only in use from October to February, which is the coffee season. The other months they only show you an imaginary version of what the operation would be like; in short, a mockery to me. Also, I collect Starbucks mugs and tumblers and I thought they would have merchandise like in all Starbucks stores, but they had very little merchandise and of poor quality. For example, they had a generic cup with a sticker; that peels off after a few washes. Also, they only had options with a press-on lid, and I asked if they had any with a screw-on lid because liquid spills from the press-on ones, and he said no, that it was the first time he had heard that press-on tumblers leak. Everyone knows that press-on tumblers leak; he shouldn't lie to justify that they have crappy, low-quality merchandise.

If you’re visiting Costa Rica, I highly recommend the Starbucks Coffee Tour! I went with my daughter, my son-in-law, and my two grandchildren, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. The tour was incredibly informative. I had no idea how much work, science, and dedication go into growing and producing quality coffee. One of the most interesting things we learned was that Starbucks purchases high-quality coffee from Costa Rican coffee growers, and this location also serves as a research and development facility dedicated to improving coffee cultivation and sustainability. Our guide, Geraldine, was absolutely outstanding. She was extremely knowledgeable, but what really stood out was her genuine passion for coffee. Her enthusiasm made the entire experience engaging and fun for both the adults and the kids. At first, we thought the tour was a little expensive, but by the end we all agreed it was well worth the cost. We walked away with a much greater appreciation for every cup of coffee we drink. A heartfelt thank you to Geraldine and to all the workers and employees who make this experience possible. Your dedication and pride in what you do truly shine through. This is a tour we won’t forget!

The tour was very interesting and the landscape of the place is beautiful.

Visiting Hacienda Coffee Farm as a private group was one of the highlights of my journey through Costa Rica. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine hospitality and immersed in the rich tradition of Costa Rican coffee production. The tour was exceptionally well organized, offering a fascinating insight into every stage of the coffee-making process—from the plantation to the perfect cup. Walking through the lush coffee fields surrounded by breathtaking scenery made the experience both educational and relaxing. Our guide was knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging, making the tour enjoyable while sharing the history, culture, and dedication behind every coffee bean. Tasting freshly brewed coffee straight from the farm was simply unforgettable, with rich aromas and exceptional flavor that reflected the quality of their craftsmanship. Having the experience as a private group made it even more special, allowing us to enjoy a personalized, unhurried visit and ask questions throughout the tour. I highly recommend Hacienda Coffee Farm to anyone visiting Costa Rica. Whether you’re a coffee enthusiast or simply looking for an authentic cultural experience, this is a must-visit destination that perfectly showcases the country’s warmth, traditions, and world-renowned coffee.
