Great tasty tour - Incredible tour, so much information about the plants on the farm, tasting bits as we went which was super interactive. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. The ice cream and biscuits we tried in our break were really divine, my favourite was the chai ice cream. The shop sells some really lovely spices, chocolates and other bits as great souvenirs.

Vanilla spice tour is a must! - This is a great tour! We took our 3 year old and the in-laws and everyone had a blast. We learned so much about the history and production of these spices. The samples and the treats at the end were delicious!

This was the most... - This was the most extraordinary experience. What an absolute dream to get to tour this farm while learning about the rich history of Costa Rican spices. We were lucky enough to be at the farm while the vanilla was drying out in the sun. I’ve never seen, and might not ever see so much vanilla in my life. Our tour guide was so incredibly knowledgeable and made the tour a lot of fun. I ended up being in a tour group with a retired couple. One of whom is a retired chemist, and now a hobbyist gardener. The two of them asked such great questions. The tour was hands on and involved every step of the way. We got to smell and/or taste every spice grown on the farm. My favorite was getting to eat a fresh green peppercorn and taste fresh cinnamon bark. After walking through the grounds we stopped at this beautiful overlook where they served a flight of ice creams, of course made with spices from the farm. Then we sampled some fresh cacao served with a flourless chocolate cake bite. Our tour guide added a couple of drops of vanilla to the cacao after our first sip, which was a treat. Then we made our way back to the beginning of the tour and we were able to buy spices, chocolate, vanilla extract and they had some house made sweet treats and milkshakes available for purchase. I cannot wait to return! Highly recommend this experience if you’re in the area.
