Top Buenos Aires Wine Tasting Tours

We were picked up from our hotel a little late than the indicated time but that's okay. The pick up vehicle was the vintage blue collectivo bus which was cool. Then we were taken to the Albije Tango theatre and restaurant in San Telmo. The 3-course dinner was served at 7:30 pm and it was good. The tango show started at 8:30 pm and it was wonderful. After the show, we were transferred back to our hotel safely.

From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt warm, intimate, and genuinely welcoming. It’s a small class, which makes a huge difference—you’re not just watching, you’re actually part of the experience. The host created such a relaxed environment that it felt more like being invited into someone’s home than attending a formal class. Learning how to make empanadas from scratch was both fun and surprisingly approachable. We got hands-on with every step, from preparing the filling to folding the dough, and picked up tips that I’ll definitely use again. It was especially interesting to learn about the different regional styles and traditions behind them. The wine pairing aspect elevated everything. Each empanada was thoughtfully matched with a local Argentine wine, and the explanations were clear, engaging, and never overwhelming. It gave me a whole new appreciation for how flavors can complement each other. What really made this experience stand out was the personal touch. The group was small enough to have real conversations, ask questions, and share a lot of laughs along the way. By the end, it felt like we’d spent the evening with friends rather than in a class. If you’re looking for something authentic, interactive, and a little more intimate than the typical tourist activity, I can’t recommend this enough. It’s the perfect blend of great food, excellent wine, and genuine connection.

We enjoyed our experience with the wine tasting. The room was set up so nicely with wine glasses and different cheeses and fruits to eat with the different wines served. All the wines served were fantastic! We were even treated to empanadas which were delicious!

There is a half hour tour bus ride to Tigre where we board a boat that takes us up.and down the Tigre River reviewing homes, other boats and rowers on the river. Our tour guide and driver were great. The tour guide gave us ibteresting historical facts. You also meet people on the tour or we did. 🙂

The full trip is about three hours but it gives you a great overview of different areas to go back and visit. Headphones are provided and multiple languages for the narrative available. We enjoyed the two day pass. First day did the entire tour and second day went back to specific areas.

We loved the experience. The food was great - loved having a wide variety of small plates. I am allergic to dairy/eggs and let them know ahead of time - they were spectacular in accommodating. Did not make me feel bad for asking - which only elevated the experience. Our hosts were super attentive and positive. The only thing that could improve the experience was perhaps noise abatement in the room. it would get so loud from all the talking that it was difficult to hear those around us. Other than that, I would highly recommend this to anyone at any age.

El Almacén is a true gem that transports you back in time, offering visitors a chance to step into another era, even if only for a few hours. Rather than mass-producing an experience, this venue curates something intimate and authentic, allowing guests to fully enjoy the journey. The dancers are exceptionally skilled, and the musicians are remarkably talented. Don’t hesitate to book El Almacén—and leave the Vegas-style shows for…Vegas!

We had a flight cancellation and couldn’t make it on the day we were supposed to arrive. I sent a note to them and they rearranged to pick us up when we did arrive a day later. Great customer service. Our driver was on time, very helpful and courteous. He got us to our destination quickly and safe. Great experience, we will use again when we come back. Thanks!
