Seated at our shared table in an apron and chef hat, you’ll meet other travelers, and be shown how to close traditional Argentine empanadas using different ‘repulga’ techniques. Afterwards, the feast begins, consisting of typical local foods from all four corners of the country, including bife de lomo (tenderloin), arguably Argentina’s best cut of meat.

The tasting menu includes famous culinary specialties, like empandas, chorizo, matambre and grilled provoleta cheese, steak, and more, and is paired expertly with three varieties of wine. Finish by learning how to make your own Mate, a traditional hot tea beverage with its own ritual, etiquette, and history, which you’ll enjoy with alfajores, the typical Argentine dessert.

Fantastic experience……. Book it! - Little concerned on arrival at the venue as they hadn’t got us on the list of guests for the evening. However there were no questions asked when I showed our ticket on Viator. It was handled extremely well. Bruno and Enrique looked after our group and they were great fun. We were provided with a cocktail on arrival which was delicious. We then made our own wine based cocktail, empanadas and tucked into some amazing food. The majority of the group were Brazilian and we were sat next to a Brazilian lady who spoke excellent English and to a couple from the US. Bruno and Enrique were fantastic at mixing between Portuguese and English. It was a fantastic night, great fun and a unique experience to try in Argentina. Thanks for a great night.

Great food, fun and informative! - Really excellent. The food was great, the steak was one of the best I've had in Argentina. But the overall experience was good fun and informative. Made my own cocktails, empanadas and mate. All the food was excellent. Everything was very well arranged and kept moving but didn't feel rushed. Bruno, Enrique, Nancy and Tamara took really good care of us. All in, I was pleased with the value and had a good night with great food! Really glad we did it!

Best Dining Experience in South America - The guide Bruno was very fun and informative and Enrique was also very helpful. It was a very fun atmosphere and everyone loved the experience. The food was very excellent- to everything from our own cocktails to alfajores (which are Argentinian coconut and dulce de leche biscuits). My favourite part was creating our own empanadas. All the food was elegant and delicious. Thank you very much.
