1Day 01
Pick-up at hotels in São Paulo and drive to the farm in the countryside We'll pick you up at your hotel to set off for the farm to discover the secrets of Brazilian coffee culture. After a 1 hour drive, we'll arrive at our destination. There, you’ll be welcomed with a breakfast at the farm. After tasting the delicious Brazilian coffee, we'll start the tour around the farm. (From Monday to Thursday the breakfast is a nice bakery a few minutes before getting to the farm) History of Coffee in Brazil First, we'll go through the history of coffee, from its discovery to its arrival in Brazil in the 18th century. We'll learn about the importance of this product in the socio-economic development of the State of Sao Paulo and also of Brazil. After this historical introduction, the practical part will follow. We'll learn about the process of growing and processing the beans by visiting different parts of the farm, including the coffee plantations and the machinery area. History of Slavery We'll also discover the darker past of this place by visiting the old senzala. This building housed the slaves who worked on the estate until 1888, when slavery was abolished in Brazil. Lunch time Then we'll stop for lunch where you can choose from a variety of dishes such as rice and beans, pork or chicken stew, pumpkin quibebe, manioc polenta, feijoada, farofa or couscous. For dessert, you'll taste a pumpkin and papaya sweet, served in wine syrup. Tasting of Coffee You'll also have the opportunity to sample different types of ground coffee in a tasting, enjoying the earthy aromas of each variety. In the store, you can also buy all kinds of products such as coffee powder, coffee liqueur, pure or cinnamon cachaça, jams, honey and much more. Visit to a Goat Cheese Farm 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.
