Top Mendoza Cooking Classes

Get ready to savor Argentinian cuisine in a warm, friendly setting. You’ll learn to cook seven dishes, all while sipping top-rated wine. Arrive at the host’s apartment, enjoy local snacks, and sip on Vermuth cocktails before you start cooking. The three-hour class will be filled with cooking, socializing, eating, and laughs. Prepare two appetizers, one main, one side, one dessert, and unlimited wine from a nearby winery—or non-alcoholic drinks. Leave with a full belly and new friends!

With the help of a host with extensive experience in the world of gastronomy and wine, you will be able to learn and enjoy the unique traditional Argentine flavor. We have an interactive cooking class, where guests can make their own empanadas and then cook them over a fire. In addition, they will be able to observe the cooking process of grilled meat and vegetables. We complement the experience with a folklore show, where you will learn basic dance steps. The idea is that there is a connection with our culture, not only through food but also through our historical and artistic roots. Our activity is adaptable, which makes it exclusive and personalized. Any dietary restriction is valid to modify the menu. We also offer variations, in case you wish to skip the cooking class or the show. Or if you prefer to emphasize wine tasting, in a more technical way (since we have the availability of a sommelier).

Ride alongside the Rio Mendoza during a 1.5-hour tour on horseback. This midday excursion gives you a glimpse of southern Maipu you might otherwise miss, including rolling vineyards, olive groves, and leafy country lanes. Follow up with a gourmet “asado” (Argentine barbecue) at Divina Marga restaurant and wine cellar. Passengers are limited to eight to ensure a small-group experience, including the convenience of minivan transport from your hotel.

Experience Mendoza in a unique way, one of Argentina's finest wine regions, and let others handle the logistics with this half-day winery tour. After picking you up from your hotel, we'll head to the Maipú area to visit two boutique wineries. There, expert staff will explain the winemaking process, followed by a tasting to experience the diverse flavors that characterize their wines and discover Argentina's grape varieties. This tour also includes a visit to a small olive oil factory, where we'll be guided through the process of one of Mendoza's key industries.

This is not a standard winery tour. You’ll taste a curated selection of Argentine wines in a small, intimate setting guided by a certified sommelier (WSET Level 3). Instead of a scripted experience, this tasting is interactive and tailored to the group — we focus on understanding wine, not just drinking it. You’ll learn how to taste like a professional, compare styles, and discover what makes Argentine wines truly unique.

This experience combines two of the great symbols of Mendoza and Argentina: wine and roast. It is not just a tasting or lunch, but a participatory experience where travelers are part of the local tradition. After pick-up from the hotel, participants visit a boutique winery in Mendoza to enjoy a guided wine tasting. Then the fire ritual begins, where they will learn about cooking with firewood, Argentine cuts of meat and traditional roasting techniques. The experience includes a practical class in traditional empanadas, a regional mince accompanied by Argentine mate or vermouth and active participation in the preparation of the roast. The day ends with a lunch between vineyards accompanied by selected wines, water and non-alcoholic drinks. Small groups and direct contact with local hosts make this activity an authentic way to discover Mendoza.

The experience is really special since what we are looking for is to live the barbecue as a local person lives it when visiting a friend at home. As we do in Mendoza, the owner of the house prepares everything so that visitors can enjoy the food and the place. One of those special days, when we want to have a good time and we find ourselves around the “barbecue”, snacks and cakes, well watered and with something sweet to snack on afterwards. Simply what we like and summons us. You come to my house to eat, as one more friend.

This is an absolutely different proposal, in which participants can immerse themselves in a unique experience that stimulates the sense of smell, discovering the history, culture of wine and its aromas through perfumes.
