What you can expect
Discover the flavours of Colombia’s Coffee Region on this Quindío Chocolate Tour with tastings and a local guide. This artisan chocolate experience takes you to a traditional family farm in Quimbaya, in the department of Quindío, where cacao has been cultivated as part of a productive agricultural system for generations.
Located at 1,350 metres above sea level, this working farm has more than 70 years of continuous production and offers travellers a close look at the full journey of cacao, from the plant to the final chocolate product. Surrounded by the rural landscapes of the Colombian Coffee Region, the farm combines cacao, coffee, plantain, and guadua bamboo crops within a traditional and sustainable agricultural model.
The experience begins with a guided visit through the farm’s crops, where you will learn how cacao grows, how to identify the fruit, and how each stage of the plant’s development influences the quality of the final product. Along the way, your guide will explain how cacao, coffee, plantain, and guadua are connected within the farm’s production system and why this type of agriculture is part of the cultural identity of Quindío.
During this cacao tour in Quindío, you will also learn why Colombian cacao is recognised for its quality and aromatic profile. The guide will explain how the altitude, climate, soil, and farming practices of the region influence the flavour and character of the cacao used to produce artisan chocolate.
One of the highlights of the tour is the visit to the farm’s own quality and chocolate production laboratory. In this space, you will discover the complete bean-to-bar chocolate process, from the selection of cacao beans to fermentation, drying, roasting, and transformation into artisan chocolate. This part of the experience gives you a clear understanding of how Colombian artisan chocolate is made and why chocolate tours in the Coffee Region have become an attractive experience for food and culture travellers.
The tour ends at the farm’s traditional fonda, where you will enjoy a tasting prepared with coffee and cacao grown on the property. This final tasting brings together the two central flavours of the experience and connects you directly with the land, the people, and the agricultural traditions behind each product.
