Embark on a curated culinary journey that explores the deep roots and evolving identity of Costa Rican cuisine — through the eyes, stories, and hands of those who live it every day. We begin this experience in the private home of a professional barista and certified coffee taster, where you’ll enjoy a guided coffee tasting session featuring high-quality local beans.

From there, we visit another local family home, where you’ll be welcomed to taste a traditional homemade “moonshine” liquor, crafted from a secret family recipe passed down through generations. This authentic moment offers a rare glimpse into the lesser-known, rustic side of Costa Rican heritage. Next, we step into a restaurant dedicated to preserving ancestral Costa Rican recipes. Guided by the chef, you’ll enjoy a tasting menu of traditional dishes, We then continue to a second restaurant that showcases the new wave of Costa Rican culinary creativity. Here, emerging chefs blend tradition with global influences, presenting bold and innovative dishes — including a variety of ceviches — each served with a thoughtful drink pairing designed to enhance the gastronomic experience.

The journey concludes at a third restaurant that highlights contemporary interpretations of Costa Rican cuisine. Once again, each tasting plate is paired with a local beverage or cocktail, ensuring that your palate is fully engaged with every step of the story being told — from the ingredients and techniques to the cultural context behind them.
