Scheduled this experience while vacationing in Buenos Aires. Tomas was an incredible teacher and host. The empanadas were amazing, as was the wine and conversation. Learned so much about Argentinian culture, food, and wine. Would highly recommend.

Tomas was a great host with a wealth of knowledge, not only about cooking the empanadas, but the regional foods and wines. Great way to spend a few hours in the afternoon

Empanadas it is

Mark_H, Dec 2025

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

Great solo activity!

My girlfriend and I had an amazing time at the empanada cooking class in Palermo! Tomas, the instructor, was friendly and knowledgeable, and making authentic Argentine empanadas was so much fun. The wine tasting afterward was the perfect touch. A great small-group experience and a fantastic way to dive into Buenos Aires’ culinary scene. Highly recommend!

Great activity for solo, couples, family or friends
