La Fortuna: Coffee & Chocolate Farm Tour with Tasting
How Coffee Grows Here, and Why You'll Taste the Difference
You walk through coffee and cacao plants, watch the family process both crops from bean to finished product, then taste what you've just seen made. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included if you're staying within ten minutes of La Fortuna, and the whole experience is built around how the family actually works — not a performance staged for tourists.

The Experience
Most people drink coffee without ever seeing where it comes from. On this farm outside La Fortuna, you start at the plant itself — walking through rows where the beans grow, then moving straight into the processing shed where a family member shows you how they dry, roast and prepare it. The whole thing takes a few hours, and by the end you've tasted what you just watched happen, which changes how coffee tastes after that.
The chocolate side works the same way. You see the cacao pods on the tree, crack one open, watch the beans get fermented and roasted, then make something with your hands that you actually eat. It's not rushed or performed — this is a family business, and they run it the way they'd show a relative around. The farm sits close enough to La Fortuna that hotel pickup takes less than ten minutes, so you're not spending half the day in a van.
Water is provided throughout, and everything here is wheelchair accessible — the paths, the processing areas, the tasting spaces. If you're traveling with small children, they can come along; the pace is flexible enough that strollers work fine. The local taxes are already included in the price, so there's no surprise at the end.
What’s included
Your morning includes hotel pickup and drop-off from accommodations within 10 minutes of La Fortuna, entry to the family farm, a walk through the coffee and cacao plantations, hands-on preparation and processing demonstrations, chocolate and coffee tastings, water throughout the day, and all local taxes.

Is this one for you?This works best if you want to understand where your coffee and chocolate actually come from and don't mind a slower pace — the family runs it the way they'd show a friend around, not as a tightly choreographed performance, which is what makes it feel real.
