What you'll do

Take a full-day guided tour combining a coffee farm and a cheese farm to experience the rural charms of Brazil. About 1 h from São Paulo, first visit a two-centennial coffee farm from the Golden Coffee era of Brazil. Take an informative tour and get a complete understanding about the coffee process, from sowing the seed and harvesting to drinking a cup of coffee. Tour through the plantation, seedling, shaker, washer, roasting, museum, and viewpoints, tasting of types of ground coffee, jams and honey. Meet and interact with local farmers and learn about the importance of coffee to Brazil's development, culture and history. Discover the darkest past of this place by visiting the building that housed the slaves until the abolition of slavery. Have a delicious farm lunch where you can choose from a variety of dishes. Then visit a family-run goat and cow cheese farm and learn how the cheese is made from fresh milk to curds, washed down with cheese tastings and interesting stories.
