The experience

Ten hours takes you from Cali through the Valle del Cauca to Sevilla, known as the coffee capital of Colombia and the balcony of the valley. The route passes through lush landscapes on the way to a working coffee plantation where you pick your own coffee cherries straight from the plants, learning how the beans move from harvest to cup. A bilingual guide leads the experience and handles all the driving, so you focus on the work and the views.

Breakfast happens roadside on the drive up: a light traditional Colombian meal to fuel the morning. Once at the plantation, you move through the picking itself, then into the processing and roasting stages a local barista walks you through. Lunch follows, built around regional flavors and what the area grows. The tasting session lets you taste the coffee you picked, guided by someone who knows the crop and the craft.

The day ends at a scenic viewpoint overlooking Sevilla's rolling coffee hills, the kind of vantage that makes the landscape make sense. Private transportation means no shared van or schedule conflicts. The guide speaks English or Spanish depending on your preference. Infants and small children can come along in a pram or stroller, and the terrain suits all fitness levels.
