Museu do Café: Private Guided Tasting & Historic Trading Floor

Step inside the breathtaking 1922 Bolsa Oficial do Café — Brazil's legendary coffee exchange — for a private guided tour of its stained-glass masterpiece and an expert cupping of Santos's finest single-origin coffees.

What to expect

You enter a Belle Époque palace where fortunes were once made in minutes — the trading floor's vaulted ceiling and painted glass panels glow with filtered light. Your private guide narrates the rise of Santos as the world's largest coffee export port while you stand at the original mahogany desks. The tasting session that follows pairs single-origin Santos coffees with traditional Brazilian sweets. A visit to the rooftop terrace reveals the old port warehouses stretching to the waterfront.
