Medellín Coffee Tour: From Bean to Cup with Tasting & Lunch

Colombia is world-renowned for its High-quality Coffee, and there’s no better place to experience it firsthand than in Medellín’s lush coffee-growing regions. This six-hour guided tour takes you on a journey through the coffee-making process, from farm to cup, with pickup and drop-off included. Immerse yourself in the world of Colombian coffee as you explore a traditional finca (coffee farm), sample fresh brews, and enjoy a delicious local lunch.

Start Your Day: Pickup & Scenic Drive

Your adventure begins with a comfortable Pickup Point in Medellín. Sit back and relax as you leave the city behind, traveling into the rolling green hills that surround the valley. The drive itself is a treat, offering breathtaking views of the Andean landscape dotted with coffee plantations.

Tip: The countryside climate can be warm, so dress in light, comfortable clothing and take sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen. If you're prone to mosquito bites, consider applying insect repellent before heading out.

The Coffee Farm Experience

Upon arrival at a traditional coffee finca, you’ll be welcomed by local farmers who are passionate about their craft. This is your chance to walk through the plantation, see how coffee is cultivated, and learn about the entire process—from planting and harvesting to drying and roasting.

• Pick ripe coffee cherries straight from the plant

• Discover the meticulous process of hand-sorting and drying the beans

• See traditional and modern roasting methods in action

This hands-on experience gives you a newfound appreciation for the dedication and skill required to produce each cup of Colombian coffee.

Coffee Tasting: Savoring the Flavors

No coffee tour is complete without a proper coffee tasting session. Guided by an expert, you'll sample different varieties of freshly brewed coffee, learning how factors like altitude, soil, and processing methods influence the flavor.

Expect to experience rich aromas, smooth textures, and complex tasting notes—whether it’s hints of chocolate, caramel, citrus, or floral undertones, every sip tells a story.

Tip: If you love what you taste, many fincas sell their coffee on-site, making it the perfect souvenir to bring home.

A Traditional Colombian Lunch

After exploring the farm and tasting some of the finest coffee, it’s time to enjoy a delicious lunch prepared with fresh, local ingredients. Expect a traditional Colombian meal, which may include:

• Grilled meat or chicken with rice and plantains

• Fresh avocado and seasonal vegetables

• Sancocho (a hearty soup) or arepas, depending on the farm

• Fresh fruit juice or (of course!) another cup of coffee

Enjoying your meal in the serene countryside, surrounded by coffee fields and mountain views, is a truly special experience.

Return to Medellín: Relax & Reflect

After lunch, you'll have time to capture some final photos and browse for souvenirs before heading back to Medellín, with drop-off included to your designated point. The scenic drive offers a final chance to admire the beauty of Colombia’s Coffee Region, reflecting on the incredible journey from coffee bean to cup.

Final Tips for Your Coffee Tour:

✅ Bring cash – Some coffee farms only accept cash for purchases, so have some on hand for coffee, souvenirs, or snacks.
✅ Stay hydrated – Carry a bottle of water, especially on warm days, as you may spend time walking around the farm under the sun.
✅ Keep your phone fully charged – You'll want plenty of battery life to capture the stunning landscapes and the coffee-making process.
✅ Wear comfortable walking shoes – Expect to walk on uneven terrain, dirt paths, and possibly uphill sections.
✅ Protect yourself from the sun – A wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen will help keep you comfortable during outdoor portions of the tour.
