Even if you don’t like coffee, and who really doesn’t like coffee, a trip to the coffee farm Fazenda Novo Horizonte, home of Café Minelis, is a unique and pleasant day trip. It is located about one hour from the center of Brasilia.

Fazenda Novo Horizonte was founded in 1988 as a traditional farm which grew soy and corn as well as raised pigs and cows. But that changed around 2003 when the owners fell in love with everything coffee. The corn and soy field gave way to coffee plants and Café Minelis was born.

After years of passionate work their coffee won several prestigious prizes in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Fazenda Novo Horizonte offers guided tours through the farm, including a presentation about the history of coffee, the long way from planting the bean, harvesting, processing to roasting and the end product. You will also experience the roasting process and that smell is every coffee lover’s dream.
