About the event
Experience the rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of Gaviña Gourmet Coffee with a tour of their state-of-the-art roasting facility in Vernon, California. Founded in 1967 by the Gaviña family—whose coffee legacy began in Cuba in 1870—this family-owned company has become a cornerstone of Los Angeles' coffee culture.
During the tour, you'll witness firsthand the journey of coffee beans from sourcing to roasting, guided by seasoned Roastmasters and certified Q Graders. The facility, spanning over 240,000 square feet, is among the largest in the U.S., boasting a capacity of up to 60 million pounds annually. Gaviña's commitment to quality is evident in their rigorous standards, including SQF Food Safety and Quality certifications, and their dedication to sustainability and ethical sourcing.
Tours often feature sensory workshops, offering a deep dive into coffee aromas and flavors, and conclude with tastings of their renowned brands like Don Francisco’s and Café La Llave.
