We loved the small group cooking class. Everything was well planned and delicious. The meats and cheeses served with three wine selections were also nice. We learned about the different folds on the empanada that identify the ingredients and left with the recipes. Great time had by all!

Learn to Make Authentic Empanadas and Alfajores
Valentin, was a fantastic instructor for our empanadas and alfajores cooking class. He was very patient and everything was well prepared. We learnt a great deal and feel confident to try the recipes at home. Valentin talked to us about the different empanadas from the different regions in Argentina.

Authentic Empanada Cooking adventure in Buenos Aires
The small group empanada cooking class was a wonderful experience while traveling through Buenos Aries. Overall this experience was exactly as advertised to bring a cooking experience to tourists with a down to earth and fun way to learn about the culture and enjoy some quiet quality time in the city. Our your guide Mika P. Was excellent from her enthusiasm for teaching us the traditional craft of making empanadas to an in depth overview to the history and cooking style of the people in Argentina. The setting provided made it feel like being just at home where people traveling could feel just at home with eachother in an interpersonal class to make it feel just like cooking with family. Not only was it a great experience, but provided the insight and skills for being able to bring this cooking style home to my own family and friends and to the rest of the world. I definitely would recommend anyone who likes cooking and trying foods from around the world to give it a try if you are in the Buenos Aries, Palermo Soho area!

Wonderful Wine Tasting!!
It was in a beautiful setting with a delicious pairing of different Argentina wines and bites including an empanada. Everything was of the highest quality and Agustin was a wonderful guide and made the experience even that much better. We enjoyed the experience immensely!!

Wonderful tasting!
A wonderful moment on the rooftop enjoying an excellent meal. We discovered typical Argentinian dishes with super friendly hosts. The lady took the time to walk us back to our taxi and make sure everything was in order for us.
We highly recommend this tour.

Great experience even as a solo!
I loved learning how to cook Argentinean staples (empanadas and chipas). The staff was so friendly and made the process seamless. I was a solo traveler from the US and felt very welcome. Recommend for anyone who likes to learn uncomplicated recipes from where they are traveling.

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.

Love cooking classes! ...
Love cooking classes! This was no different. Learned to make Empanadas and Alfajores. Great combination. The host was very helpful and very clear in his directions as well as hands on. Both easy to make and I look forward ti making them when I get home. Book it and then look at all the offerings with Signature Tours. They provide lots of great tours.

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.

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.

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.
