Follow Your Coffee from Bean to Cup

Ever wondered what happens to a coffee bean before it reaches your morning cup? At Babylonstoren, follow coffee's fascinating journey from plant to perfect pour. Begin among the coffee trees in the farm's Spice House, discover how beans are cultivated and processed, and watch a live roasting demonstration. Then step behind the counter for a hands-on barista lesson, learn the secrets of brewing and try your hand at latte art. A guided tasting introduces you to the subtle flavours of four different coffees, before the experience ends with a leisurely farm lunch and coffee-inspired dessert. It's a whole new appreciation for your daily caffeine fix.

EFORE YOU GO
This is a full-day experience rather than a quick coffee tasting, so allow approximately five to six hours. Workshops take place on selected dates and are limited to just 10 participants, making advance booking essential. The R1,600 workshop includes coffee on arrival, guided tastings, hands-on activities and lunch at the Greenhouse Restaurant. Meet at the Babylonstoren ticket office. The next advertised workshop is 3 March 2027, but check the website for updated dates and availability.
