TLDR: The kindest people, serving the best products, bringing the essence of Cuba to the people. A true hidden gem, highly affordable. Insane.
The best experience in Cuba! If you visit and you're remotely close, this is a must see.
The very experienced/knowledgeable hosts show you around the traditional cuban ways. They are multi talented and bring al their knowledge in a very pleasant way with lots of practical examples (read; tasting 😏). They let you taste their local coffee while explaining the entire process from berry to cup, they show you the secrets of the finest rum around, and they bring you an example of how the world famous Cuban cigars are rolled and enjoyed.
Besides the very informative tour, they also offer horseback rides that show off the hidden beauty of the Valley. The horses are extremely well trained and taken care off, even with a lack of experience this makes for an unforgettable experience.
The farm also offers the tastiest and most delishes food that is accompanied by an amazing salad from the local produce they grow. Never had beef or fish that had so much flavour in it.
All of this extremely affordable.
Everyone is extremely kind.
This place has so much to offer, a real hidden gem...
Their local Mojito's are a thing to behold on their own, never had a better way of tasting what Cuba is really about.
10/10,...

Marcel gave a detailed explanation of the tobacco growing process including the rolling of the cigars themselves - and advised on drinks and food to go. The mojito and ropa vieja were the best we’ve had so far. Can’t miss this authentic agroecological...
Read moreWe had a wonderful day. A beautiful finca, a nice lunch, quality cigars, and stunning landscapes. This was the second finca we visited in Vinales and it seemed to have a higher standing, more accustomed to receiving tourists and perhaps a bit less authentic. Nevertheless, we were very well welcomed and the person who showed us around the finca was professional and knowledgeable. The guide who came with us for a horse ride was lovely, and I must say the rest of the afternoon was...
