Begin your journey with the convenience of a private transfer from your accommodation in Mendoza City. You will be taken to a cosy private residence located right in the heart of Mendoza City—an oasis city rich in history, deeply tied to General San Martín’s liberating expedition and a pioneering canal irrigation system that transformed the arid desert into a fertile valley.
Upon arrival, you will be welcomed with a glass of sparkling or white wine to kick off an unforgettable gastronomic afternoon. Enjoy a tasting of artisanal preserves, cold cuts, and local cheeses while learning about the city's cultural transformation and its evolution into one of the Great Wine Capitals of the world.
Next, you will start the interactive cooking class, where you will learn the secrets to preparing authentic Argentine empanadas, Mendoza style. While the empanadas are baking in the oven, you will move on to preparing and seasoning the meat for the typical Argentine asado.
Over the glowing embers and in a relaxed atmosphere, participate in the traditional asado ritual while enjoying your freshly baked empanadas, paired with a curated wine tasting from boutique local wineries. The main barbecue course will be accompanied by classic salads (mixed salad, potato salad, and grilled vegetables such as bell peppers, aubergines, and squash).
To top off your meal, indulge your sweet tooth with a classic Argentine dessert: delicious pancakes with dulce de leche.
