Mendez Cavite highland farm landscape — Yoki's Farm area Cavite

Mendez, Cavite

Stay Near Mendez — Farm Country in the Heart of the Cavite Highlands

Home of Yoki's Farm, pineapple estates, and the unhurried pace of the Cavite interior — 70 minutes from Manila.

Mendez sits quietly in the Cavite highlands between Tagaytay and Alfonso — less visited than its neighbours, more agricultural than either, and home to one of the most charming agri-tourism destinations in Luzon: Yoki's Farm.

Yoki's Farm is a working family farm that has become one of the Cavite region's most consistently recommended family destinations. Horses, cows, goats, fresh produce you can pick yourself, and farm-fresh meals in a setting that has nothing commercial about it. It is the kind of place that children remember and adults appreciate. Our guide to Yoki's Farm covers everything you need to plan a visit.

Mendez is also the natural midpoint of a Cavite highlands loop — Tagaytay to the northeast for Taal views and the best restaurants, Alfonso to the south for wine tasting and eco-farms, and Mendez in between for the farm experience and the highland drives that connect them all.

Luxa Stays operates two private villas within easy reach of Mendez. Luxa Villa in Kaybagal East, Tagaytay is 20–30 minutes away and is the most comfortable base for a highlands family weekend — private pool, jacuzzi, and five bedrooms. Both properties are available for direct booking at best rates.
