This is the perfect tour for you if you like breathtaking sceneries, to be surrounded by nature, off-the-beaten-path destinations and learning about the origin of two of the most consumed drinks in the world: coffee and chocolate. During this tour you get to visit two different non-touristy farms, one of cacao and one of coffee, both are relatively close to the city and close to each other so you spend most of the time enjoying and learning about the artisanal process of both products. Taking this tour you learn and participate in all the steps from planting the seeds to packaging. Then you have the chance to customize your chocolate and buying premium quality coffee and chocolate products. To complement this experience we provide a delicious traditional lunch (included) served in the farm that you eat as you contemplate the stunning views. But definetly the best of the day is interacting with the warmest farmers in their houses. Book this amazing tour, you will never regret!

  • Santo Domingo, Antioquia, Colombia
    The day starts at your doorstep when we pick you up. Then we start our journey to north of Medellin, just 1 hour away through beautiful sceneries. Once we arrive we are welcomed by Oscar the cacao farmer and he will walk us through the plantation to see the cacao plants in their natural form as well as other natural local products like tangerine trees, coffee plants, plantain trees and more. Then we plant cacao seeds to show you the timeline and after that we start picking cacao fruits from the trees. Once we've picked enough we head back to the farm for the next step: fermenting. To ferment the cacao, we need to cut the fruit and extract the seeds. You also get a chance to try the raw chocolate fruit which is deliciously sweet. Once we’ve opened the fruit, we pour the seeds into wooden containers. After fermenting, the cacao then needs to be dried. To dry the fermented cacao, we use a green house called Marquesina for around 2 days (depending on the weather).

  • Santo Domingo, Antioquia, Colombia
    After drying, the cacao is then ready to be roasted. On our farm, we roast the chocolate in a very artisanal way, using a simple pot on a wood fire, that, after stirring it for about 30 minutes, gives it an amazing subtle woody flavor. After roasting the cacao beans, we remove the husk and manually separate them. Once the beans are husk-free they are ready to be ground and melted. At this point, we can add in some natural seeds to give the chocolate different premium flavors. Natural flavors we might add include: orange dried-skin, sugar cane, coffee, quinoa and ginger. Have an idea for a new chocolate flavor? We're always experimenting with new combinations, so let us know and we'll test it out. As a result of the friction from the artisanal grinder, the cacao beans melt, leaving us with our final product: a fresh delicious premium chocolate mixed with your favourite ingredient grown organically in the farm. You can buy these products for a very fair price at the farm.

  • Copacabana, Antioquia, Colombia
    The coffee tour takes place in a beautiful family farm that produces around 1 ton of coffee a year. We will have a traditional delicious lunch to have energy to start learning everything about the coffee production. The coffee expert will give you a thorough explanation about the coffee industry to have more context. Then we start planting a coffee seed and trying the bean as a fruit, you'll be surprised of how sweet they actually are. Later on, we begin to pick some coffee in the plantation and to enjoy the breathtaking views. Once the picking is done we need to process it step by step until its roasted and ground. We will also have as many cups as you want as we explain where in the mouth you should put the coffee to taste it in a more professional way. In conclusion, this Chocolate & Coffee experience is an unforgettable one, full of new friends, delicious organic products and the best memories of your trip in Colombia.

We had a fantastic experience on the coffee and chocolate tour. We all really really enjoyed every single part of the day. We loved getting to meet Jose and Anna (the coffee farmers) and having the hands-on experience picking the coffee cherries from the trees and then later taking the cacao pods from the tree at Sandra's farm and turning it into chocolate. The lunch we received was of an incredibly high standard. The thing we loved most of all was that we got to meet real people in their real homes and it was not a large farm or tourist site with lots of people. It was so authentic and felt like a unique experience. The views from the farms weren’t bad either! Our guide Sara was also very informative and helpful and so professional. We felt at ease from the beginning until the end and we learned so much about Colombia and its people! We have been traveling for several months through Asia and Central/South America and this tour is up there as one of the best of its kind.

This was such a great tour. Loved the private aspect of it because although you’re paying more than what you’d pay for similar tours elsewhere but this is completo tailored to you and your pace and needs. Plus you get a real insight into the process and life of coffee and cocoa beans. The views were spectacular and the families were so sweet and seemed truly happy to spend time with me. Sara, my guide was fabulous! She’s multi-lingual so I got to practice my Spanish with her and she spoke fluent English with me when I needed it. She was also very knowledgeable, patient, helpful and friendly.

Fantastic tour, Guide Alejandro very knowledgable and passionate about Coffee & Chocolate. The farms visited are not just growing the products but also processing and building a brand to sell. Thoroughly recommend this tour.
