Brewing the perfect cup of coffee is an art form. No one knows that better than illycaffè. An Italian family business, founded in Trieste in 1933, illy is committed to offering the greatest coffee to the world. Everything ‘made in illy’ is enhanced by beauty & art, which represent founding values of the brand, starting from its logo – designed by an artist, James Rosenquist – and including the renowned illy Art Collection, comprised of over 100 cups designed by international artists.

This experience offers the best of both worlds for the coffee and art lover. You and a guest will enjoy a private tour of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and a private class at the newest Universita del Caffee (University of Coffee) with illy’s Master barista, Giorgia Milos. You’ll explore coffee from around the world and discover the flavor profiles and distinct aromas found in each cup and discover the best ways to make coffee at home.
