Top Argentina Cooking Classes

This was such a fun tour. There was chance to get hands on with all parts of the cooking process. Sylvia had great knowledge of the history, food and fantastic wine selection. Sylvia was so welcoming, fun and great company which made the experience amazing and so worthwhile

Excellent cooking and culture experience at Criolla Cooking & Wine. Our group of four had a blast making empanadas, and chipá and some of the condiments for our meal. The chef also demonstrated an “ojo de bife” plate, sauce and Andean fries. The food was delicious, the chef (Juan Pablo) and the kitchen helper (Laura) were excellent, very enthusiastic and very helpful. It’s a great way to learn about the Argentinian culture via cooking. I highly recommend it!

Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable about traditional food and customs of Argentina. We tasted very good vermouth and wine. Tastings that followed include traditional street food of chorizo in a bun, our choice of empanada fillings, a full asado meal with steak, salad, French fries and homemade crusty bread, and ended with very good ice cream. You will walk through the Palermo neighborhood which has interesting points of interest and you will not be hungry!

Taking a cooking class at Pachamama Argentine Cooking Experience was one of the highlights of my time in Buenos Aires. The class was incredibly well organized, fun, and very hands-on from start to finish. We started with a welcome snack while learning about the history of Argentine cuisine, which set the tone for the experience. Then we rolled up our sleeves and cooked several traditional dishes together, including chipá, regional empanadas, humita, and a delicious dulce de leche dessert. Everything was explained clearly, and the instructors made it easy and enjoyable even if you’re not an experienced cook.  What I loved most was the atmosphere. The group was small and interactive, so it felt more like cooking with friends than taking a class. The instructors were knowledgeable, funny, and shared lots of tips about Argentine food and culture along the way.  At the end we all sat down together to enjoy the meal we prepared, paired with wine, which made it feel like a true Argentine dining experience. It was a great way to meet other travelers while enjoying fantastic food.  If you’re visiting Buenos Aires and want something memorable to do, I highly recommend this class. It’s a fun way to learn about the country’s cuisine and leave with recipes you can actually recreate at home.

This is a relaxed group cooking experience, not intense or difficult. It is a lot of fun whilst also being very informative. We made delicious beef empanades and traditional alfajores (much better than shop purchased mass produced ones). You learn a lot about the different techniques, ingredients and history behind them; and the regional variations. The wine pairings were excellent and showcased the great flavours of Argentine Malbec and Torrontes wines. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking an introduction to these two famous Argentine home cooked foods.

Bertie and Aby were great! The wine and food complemented each other wonderfully. They gave us a nice history of Argentine regions and why certain grapes are grown where. We had great conversation about travels and other subjects. This is a must do while in Buenos Aires!

such a wonderful time I had, the food was so delicious and the wine exquisite, Sasha was so professional friendly and welcome us so well it felt like going to friends barbecue, it is a pleasure experience where u have authentic argentinian asado and meet people from different countries. I totally recommend this experience 100%.

Our guide, Andres, was terrific. He was very knowledgeable and was really prepared. He also gave us some options by ending our tour at a restaurant he recommended that was excellent. We learned a lot about the places we visited. We all had a great day.
