What are people saying about Buenos Aires

Traditional Argentine FoodTour with optional Michelin Experience

Kimberly_B, June 2026

Wonderful tour and great guide

Our guide was excellent, super knowledgeable on the history and culture of Argentina, with plenty of recommendations all over the city and province. The food was very nice, especially the ice cream. It was plenty of food. Very walkable trip, not super strenuous. Because of the weather and time of year, it also ended up being a private tour! Would recommend.

Cooking fun at Criolla Cooking

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!

Pachamama - Argentine Cooking Experience in Buenos Aires

Kay_S, Mar 2026

Once Was Not Enough....

When we found out we would visit Buenos Aires again after 7 years, we immediately sought out Pachamama for a repeat indoctrination to Argentinean cooking. It was that fun, instructive, and delicious. From hosting this cooking experience in his apartment in 2019 to the new dedicated storefront location in the quiet Las Canitas neighborhood of BA's Palermo district, it was quite a transformation. However, the expertise, flow, and efficiency of the class remained remarkable. Now with two assistants, Franco entertained us for three hours through a full four-course meal which we actually prepared for ourselves. Everyone participated in a meaningful way. Even with seemingly complicated dishes, one had the feeling that there was hope you could re-create each item in your own home. You will come away with pictures, recipes, and good friends from around the world. And you will not need to eat dinner....

We had an absolutely wonderful time at this session. We learned so much about how the culture of mate is infused with the Argentinian way of life. I loved hearing about how everyone joins in sipping mate at social gatherings. Chris was so enthusiastic and really imparted so much culture and how to perfect the making of mate from various containers. I would highly recommend this tour.

Tango Lesson and Wine Tasting in Buenos Aires, Argentina

nigel_p, Feb 2026

Laid back fun Tango lesson with wine and more.

Catalina was in touch before the class to check we had all the information we needed. We were a small group (6of us) in a dance studio set above a bar in central BA. Catalina was lovely, she was unhurried and put us all at ease before teaching us the tango, from how the locals dance to the traditional tango. What can you do in one session but amazingly we were all dancing tango around the room by the end of the session. Then we sat, ate some empanadas and drank 2 sorts of wine, and just chatted about life, Buenos Aires and dancing. It was very special. We would definitely recommend this experience.

Argentine Wine Tasting with Lunch or Charcuterie Pairings

Tori_P, Feb 2026

Long story short, this is...

Long story short, this is a must-do in buenos Aires. Bertie and Aby are amazing hosts. Bertie was clearly knowledgeable about wine and made the tasting very accessible to someone like me who is not so knowledgeable. He explained the history and the geography of the wine regions, and why they were important to the overall taste and feel of the wine. He is very knowledgeable and a great teacher. Aby is an AMAZING chef. She made the most delicious tapas style foods that paired with each wine. They were some of the most delicious snacks we had here so far. She also explained the reasoning for why she made what she did and why it paired with the wines. She is incredible. Overall, cannot recommend this experience enough. It was an incredible experience and worth every penny.

Don't assume you know

If you have never had or do not know what Mate is in the Argentinian culture, this class is for you. I was able to learn how to prepare a Mate pot correctly and understand the social "norms" around sharing one. It is not as straightforward as you might think! Thank you for a wonderful class.

BA: Premium Empanadas Cooking Class & Wine Tasting in Palermo

Empanadas it is

Empanadas are very where in Buenos Aires and it seems only right to learn how to make them as well as enjoy eating them. Add to this tasting some quality Argentinian wine and I can honestly say it is a great way to fill an afternoon. When travelling it’s always good to have a few fun activities to enhance the experience
