Set against a backdrop of lush foliage and breathtaking vistas, the Costa Rican countryside unfolds before you as your motorcoach winds its way toward the Doka Estate coffee plantation perched at 4,500 feet above sea level. Recognized as one of the oldest coffee mills in the country, Doka is a designated Costa Rica Architectural Heritage site.
Immerse yourself in the essence of Costa Rica's coffee legacy with a dynamic, hands-on experience tailored for true coffee enthusiasts. Hosted at the renowned Hacienda Doka, this exclusive tour is led by local coffee experts who will guide you through the estate's scenic grounds while unveiling each stage of the coffee-making journey, from seed to cup. Along the way, you'll gain a deeper appreciation of the cultural and historical connection between Costa Rica and its globally celebrated coffee.
Because this is a sensory experience, you'll attend a masterclass in brewing. Learn a variety of artisanal filtering techniques from around the world. Then, join a guided coffee tasting session, where you'll sample distinct flavor profiles of premium Costa Rican coffee. The experience culminates in a fun and interactive competition, where you can test your newfound skills in a friendly challenge.
Take home a special-edition souvenir coin, commemorating the estate's annual coffee harvest -- a meaningful keepsake of your flavorful adventure.
The tour concludes with a deliciously authentic Costa Rican lunch, served with the warmth and hospitality that defines this country's hospitable culture.
