 Bag of Beans, Tagaytay City Bag of Beans is one of the must visit places in Tagaytay City. I am witness to how Bag of Beans has grown from a small coffee shop to an established dining place that it is now today.  Bag of Beans has also opened several branches along the Tagaytay City tourist stretch with six branches as of this writing. Bag of Beans caters as events venue and is one of the preferred wedding venues in Tagaytay City. Bag of Beans is also now into Bed and Breakfast accommodation.

1st Destination: Casa Santa at Jardin de Miramar





First stop, Casa Santa at Jardin de Miramar. Jardin de Miramar is a three-hectare property which is subdivided into different themed areas. This place is usually used to host parties, wedding receptions and other functions. Our main objective here is to view Casa Santa. Please note that there is an entrance fee to be collected for you to view the Santa Clause museum.

After paying the entrance fee, we went to view the Santa Clause collections. The Casa Santa houses over 3,000 Santa Clause collections in different sizes and shapes. These Santas are personal collection of the owner of Jardin de Miramar.

We also went around and checked the different areas of Jardin de Miramar. I will be sharing pictures of several items from the Santa Clause collection and also show some parts of the Jardin de Miramar in a few.



Here now are some pictures taken at
