A fantastic day and experience, do it, you won’t be disappointed. - The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. The pick up went perfectly, the greeter was friendly and made you feel comfortable right from the front gate. The starter with typical drinks was fun with a nice appetizer, making the empanadas was great fun, learning how to make the salsas was fun, seeing how the BBQ is set and in what order they cook the beef was educational and all throughout the wine was generously served. The hosts were full of knowledge and in the end we did feel like family. I would recommend this trip to everyone.

A super genuine proposal for an Argentine barbecue with friends - These guys make you feel like you're among friends. I am Argentine, accustomed to the ceremony and taste of barbecue with friends and I really enjoyed this social/gastronomic experience with foreign friends, because it is genuine, it lacks nothing of all the beauty that it means to get together in a house in the countryside to enjoy of a meeting between friends: snack, appetizers, empanadas, perfect barbecue, pets, free wine, homemade dessert, in a very quiet place on the outskirts of the city. They take you and bring you by car, they explain to you in very good English how to light the fire, maintain it, the cuts of meat, the additional ones, the filling of the empanadas, the typical sauces. You can talk about any topic, even politics and religion and everything is fine, just like at a friends house. Congratulations to Ana and her colleagues!

Braseando: Where the Asado Experience Feels Like Home - Braseando offers more than just a meal; it's an immersive experience that feels like dining at a close friend's home. From the moment you step through the door, you're welcomed into a warm and inviting environment, where great conversation flows as freely as the wine. The highlight of the evening is undoubtedly the asado, expertly prepared and explained at every step. From crafting the perfect empanadas to blending the creole and chimichurri sauces. A highlight for my celiac partner was how well they catered to gluten-free dietary needs with a dedicated effort to prevent cross-contamination. Be warned...come with an empty stomach and an appetite as the meat sweats will get you! Not sure how many laps of the garden we did trying to walk them off :) Thank you to Ana, Agustin and Cesar for an unforgettable experience!

Beautiful people in a lovely environment with yummy Asado! - We had such a nice time. This was the most enjoyable and delicious asado we had in Argentina. It really did feel like you were at a friends house. At first I wasn’t feeling well - (nothing to do with the tour), and they made me Mate and herbal tea and I felt so much better. I was able to enjoy the rest of the evening. It’s a peaceful, comfortable and fun environment. The food is so yummy too! Definitely a highlight for our trip to Argentina.

5-Star Experience - Wonderful, fun, and delicious experience. From Fabio as driver and Ana and Augustine as instructors/chefs, it was a perfect time. I learned how to cook Argentinian meats and empanadas, and got to enjoy them along with Malbec and some other Argentinian drinks and dessert. Highly recommend.
