Don Juan Coffee, Chocolate & Sugarcane Tour
Don Juan Coffee Tour
A family-run small farm where a two-hour tour covers coffee growing, roasting, chocolate-making from cacao, and cane juice pressing, with plenty to taste along the way.
Don Juan Farm is one of Monteverde’s most popular coffee and cacao farm experiences. The two-hour guided tour walks you through the whole process of coffee, from growing and picking to drying and roasting, with on-site tastings of coffees roasted to different levels. You then see how cacao beans become chocolate, taste the cacao pulp and hot chocolate, and finish by pressing sugarcane juice with a traditional wooden press to make panela. The tour costs about USD 40, with several sessions a day and hotel pickup from town included. The harvest season from November to February is the best time to see the coffee picking.
