Fantastic! - Beautiful location, fascinating tour led by Walter who was equally knowledgeable about the social history of coffee as well as the details of the cultivation process. Delicious lunch and tasting has inspired a new relationship w coffee

A tour never to forget - Did the tour with a group of friends and from the time we arrived to the minute we left we had an amazing time. Just the morning cup of coffee in the morning admiring the sights and introduction was a pleasure. Our tour guides Walter, Liz, and Paca (el perro) were fun, very knowledgeable and overall amazing! I would highly recommend the tour as not only is it very informative of the whole process of making coffee but the location and sights are stunning!

Fun and Informative Day - Fun and informative day! Their driver picked us up in El Poblado and drove us through parts of Medellin that we hadn’t seen before (really cool!). We arrived at the finca in Santa Elena where we were greeted by our guide who served us some great coffee and gave us a brief history of the finca. We then donned traditional attire and climbed up to the fields to pick coffee cherries and learn about coffee varieties. We brought our harvest back to the hacienda to learn about the different drying and processing methods. They served a fantastic Colombian lunch where we met the finca owner (great guy). Finally we had a great and super informative lecture and coffee tasting in the tasting room.

Best ever tour - This was one of the best tours I have ever taken. I learned so much! The lunch was delicious and the hacienda was beautiful. Daniella’s zeal was evident in the way she taught us. It was all so enjoyable.

Authentic, beautiful and informative - ideal coffee tour - I chose this tour because it felt more authentic than many of the coffee tours in Medellín which are clearly artificial plantations designed for tourist entertainment (although I'm sure those are fun too!). Casa Grande is a 7th generation hacienda and genuine historic home, so while there's no "coffee spa" or swimming pool, it's beautiful, calm, and authentic. I visited today for the coffee tour, booked directly via WhatsApp, and this was a perfect half day adventure. It's worth going for the views of Medellín alone, which are spectacular, but if you're remotely interested in coffee, you'll learn lots too (and enjoy the beautiful historic house, almost 200 years old). Our kind guide was very patient with the group's many questions and nothing was too much trouble. We learned the basics of coffee production, then went out into the plantation to pick some coffee cherries, processed them by hand, and visited other production areas, including drying and roasting to learn about the full process. After a lunch break, an absolutely delicious meal served family style in the house, we had the opportunity to taste several coffees and understand how the different processing styles affect the flavour. Say hi to the goat, dog and cats too!

Coffee history, growing and roasting at La Casa Grande - Walter was a great host and guide. The tour mixed learning about the history of coffee with exploring the plantation, picking coffee cherries and learning about depulping, drying and roasting. We planted seeds and ate a lovely lunch before tasting. Great fun and well structured.

Amazing!! - We had an excellent time at La Casa Grande! It was definitely eye opening and made our trip to Medellin 1000x better. Allowed us to meet some wonderful people from other countries. Our tour guide was Walter and he was amazing. He has so much knowledge on the history of coffee and explained everything so simply, allowing all of us to understand both in English and Spanish. The tour itself was very educational, was more than what we expected. Bug spray was provided as well as a bottle of water for every individual. Definitely wear comfortable clothes and shoes. The food was delicious and well prepared. Don’t leave Medellín without going here!

Beautiful - The tour was amazing from the start to the end, the coffee tasting and homemade food. I fell in love with coffee for a second time. A must experience.

10 out 10! Would drink again! - From Poblado it took a 40 minutes ride to Santa Elena, a village in the east side mountains of Medellin. (about the same time to come back, plus a little extra for traffic. Beautiful landscapes within an immersive experience through the coffee plantations. There were a few surprises during the tour that I loved. No spoilers. We were served a traditional lunch with veggie options available also the juice was divine. You will taste and learn about different varieties and techniques to prepare the perfect cup while coffee tasting and paring dessert. I would suggest to wear long pants and covered comfortable shoes as you will be walking around the different areas. I was told to bring some bug spray, but didn't feel like I needed it. I do recommend sunscreen and sun protection. If you want to buy coffee from the hacienda bring cash or Venmo. P.S. If you get Walter as your guide you are in for a treat!

Eye opening experience - My friend and I absolutely LOVED our coffee tour experience. Having now understood the whole process of 'bean to cup' we can now fully appreciate a good tasting cup of coffee. Everything was explained well and the lunch was delicious. Thank you for a brilliant trip. P.s. the goat was funny!
