Coffee tourism in Brazil is an activity that attracts many visitors eager to learn about the history, culture, and flavors of the country’s most popular beverage. There are several tourist routes that take travelers through historic farms, plantations, museums, and coffee shops across different coffee-producing regions. Examples include the Coffee Route in Northern Paraná, the Green Coffee Route in Ceará, the circuit of historic farms in Vassouras, Rio de Janeiro, and the Specialty Coffee Route in Minas Gerais. These itineraries give tourists the chance to experience the coffee production process firsthand, taste the drink, and enjoy the natural and architectural beauty of Brazil’s coffee regions.
Here’s a list of 18 places to enjoy Coffee Tourism in Brazil, curated by Tesouros do Brasil:
Sítio São Luís – Ceará

Fazenda Aliança Agroecológica – Rio de Janeiro
Rio’s centenary farms are among the most iconic when it comes to coffee. @FazendaAllianca offers a true rural experience, welcoming groups to learn about organic production of coffee, vegetables, goat’s and buffalo’s milk.
Fazenda da Taquara – Rio de Janeiro
Near Fazenda Aliança, @FazendaTaquara is one of the few farms in Rio that never stopped producing coffee. Owned by the same family for generations, it has preserved its original furniture, which visitors can admire on guided tours that end with a freshly brewed cup.
Fazenda São Luiz da Boa Sorte – Rio de Janeiro
@FazendaSaoLuizDaBoaSorte is one of the most luxurious accommodations in the @ValeDoCafe. It features a coffee museum telling the story of wealth, barons, and slavery.

@PousadaFazendaFlorenca preserved its original mansion and added three wings of rooms. Great for family trips, the guided tours include the historic house, coffee plantations, and end at a café built right in the middle of the fields.
Café ao Leu – Copacabana
If you’re strolling through Copacabana, @CafeAoLeu is one of our favorite coffee shops. Whether espresso or filtered, they are true masters of the craft. You can also buy specialty beans to take home.
Café 18 do Forte – Copacabana
It’s not just about the stunning view from Forte de Copacabana— @Cafe18DoForte knows coffee. Their breakfast is already among our favorites, but stop by in the afternoon for a macchiato with freshly fried churros while gazing at Copacabana’s sea.
