Amazing and authentic experience
This was a fantastic experience and felt super authentic. Alan was super knowledgeable and happy to answer all my questions. The farm was beautiful and it was so interesting to learn all about coffee, sugar cane and chocolate - we sampled all of them and they were delicious. Highly recommend!

Hand down, the best !
Amazing! Our tour guide Alan explained everything in great detail. We loved that he has personal experience with growing up in the area and coffee picking in the same farm. We learned a lot about beans, the drying process (did you know there are 3 types?!) .
The sugar cane was good. Lots of tasting and even a super secret delicious tasty weapon.
The caco portion is short and to the point.
The cherry on top is the coffee tasting. You now only get a chance to see the process but you get to taste the different types of coffee and filtering methods.
And a hearty plate of fruit at the end. 100% worth my money and my time. Will recommend to anyone who will listen.
I've done several coffee tours before... this by far is my favorite. Reserve now, you won't regret it.

Coffee tour
We had a really nice tour of this family run operation. We learned about the whole plant life cycle and the many steps to make coffee. It was really interesting. Coffee, sugarcane, and chocolate tasting were great. Highly recommend this tour.

Mixed experience
We took a tiny walk around the property and didn't really see any coffee growing, the coffee trees being cut,
and no chocolate at all. The good thing was to see the coffee dry, make and taste cane syrup and taste 2 different coffees and taste 2 chocolate preparations.

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour!
Excellent tour and very educational. We especially liked the coffee and chocolate tastings. The sugarcane "shots" were a tasty surprise as well. Would highly recommend this tour.

Great coffee/ chocolate story by passionate coffee farmer Junior
A very nice coffee experience Junior tells all about coffee, history the growth processing and lots of other fun facts. In addition, a tasty chocolate story.
Junior and an inspired coffee farmer who entertains his guests wonderfully fun and informative.
