MYSTERY COFFEE VACATION
WHAT DO YOU WIN
IF YOU WIN THE BARISTA LEAGUE?
We have long since believed that our events should be fun for everyone who attends, not just the winners – but that doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be something AMAZING to play for.
The Mystery Coffee Vacation is the grand prize for each of our competitions in 2026. A once-in-a-lifetime trip to a secret coffee destination along with all the other champions of The Barista League competitions that year, travelling together on a coffee-fuelled adventure to learn, inspire and connect.
Just as Barista League is not your standard coffee competition, the Mystery Coffee Vacation is not your standard industry trip. Part coffee experience, part vacation, part inspiration, our winning teams will:
CONNECT WITH LOCAL BARISTAS
EXPLORE UNIQUE COFFEE LOCATIONS
MEET THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE COFFEE
TASTE A TON OF COFFEE
EXPERIENCE A WHOLE HOST OF OTHER FUN ACTIVITIES
AN ADVENTURE FOR EVERY BARISTA
The Barista League is founded on the idea of bringing awesome events and experiences to baristas who typically don’t get included in all the fun stuff that the industry has to offer, and The Mystery Coffee Vacation is no exception to this principle.
The Barista League’s low barrier to entry makes this a unique opportunity for baristas from any background or experience to not only get to go on a trip with other coffee professionals from around the world, but also connect with local communities and cultures that shape the world of coffee.
WHERE ARE WE GOING IN 2026?
In 2026, the adventure heads to El Equimite, a biodynamic farm and boutique hotel in Mexico, part of the Ensambles family. Set amidst lush landscapes, this unique destination brings together culture, community, and some of the finest coffee in the world, offering our winning teams an unforgettable opportunity to learn, connect, and grow.
