Coffee Tour in Salento: Learn to Roast & Brew

Watch coffee move from plant to cup, then taste what you've learned.

A three-hour guided coffee tour in Salento where you walk through a working plantation, learn how the beans are grown and roasted, and taste the finished brew. The guide speaks English or Spanish and takes groups of at least two people through the full production process, from planting to preparation methods. Coffee and tastings are included.

The experience

The tour runs three hours and covers the entire journey a coffee bean takes before it reaches your cup. You'll walk the plantation itself, see how the plants grow, and learn which varieties produce the flavors that end up in different roasts. The guide explains what happens during roasting and shows you the methods used to brew the coffee once it's ready.

This is a sensory experience built around watching and tasting rather than doing the roasting yourself. You move through the plantation with your group (a minimum of two people per booking), and the guide walks you through each stage, talking through the choices that shape the final flavor. Coffee and a tasting are part of the tour.
