Coffee tours · COLOMBIA
The 4 specialty coffee tours in Colombia we would put on a trip ourselves, with the price, the running time and who each one suits. The top of the list is the top for a reason.
At Cartagena’s Café 472, you’ll learn how Colombian coffee is grown, processed, roasted, and brewed. Guides such as Tomás, Santiago, Pedro, and Arturo lead a two-hour tasting with fresh fruit, chocolate, aroma exercises, and three coffees prepared by Chemex, V60, and Hario siphon.
“Sebastián was very kind and funny we enjoyed the session and learned a lot about Colombian coffee”
Spend about five hours at La Casa Grande Coffee Hacienda in Santa Elena, only 25 minutes from Medellín. You’ll plant, harvest, roast, grind, and taste coffee, then share a homemade meal with the family. Pickup begins at 10:00 am from Wake Living in El Poblado, though you should confirm current transfer arrangements before booking.
“Memorable local experience visiting a Colombian coffee farm. Lots of information about coffee bean harvesting, roasting and grinding. Would definitely recommend. 10/10!!”
Leave Medellín for a private family coffee farm in Sabaneta, where guides such as Oscar, Mario, and Yuly explain the full process from planting and picking red coffee cherries to roasting and brewing. You may collect beans, walk the hillside in provided boots, sample several brewing methods, and buy coffee to take home.
“If you're a coffee person and want an authentic experience and chance to see how your coffee god is made, you will love this tour. Our guide Oscar was fantastic and knowledgeable. The height of the tour is picking the coffee beans yourself. I hold the current tourist record so good luck trying to break it 😝”
Spend two hours tasting Colombian coffees at specialty cafés in Cartagena’s Old Town and Getsemaní. Guides such as Sofi, Daniel, Milena, and Karen explain coffee growing, processing, roasting, and brewing in clear English. The group is limited to six, and the route covers less than a mile.
“It was fun watching the different ways coffee can be brewed . Learned a lot about the different growing regions.”
Pick a growing region, a brewing method or a city counter.
