The coffee regions of Colombia deliver Europe’s favorite morning brew straight from source to cup. Ranging from multi-day countryside immersions to quick city-based excursions, these tours let you experience the complete bean-to-cup process firsthand.
I’m particularly fond of the hands-on farm visits near Medellin, where family-run fincas demonstrate traditional harvesting methods. The 3-day tours in Colombia’s Coffee Triangle stand out for their authentic homestays and extensive tastings with local growers. In Bogota, half-day tours pack plenty of sampling and history into convenient city escapes.
