Get ready to embrace the magic of Argentinian cuisine in a warm, friendly setting—where every stir, chop, and simmer adds up to an unforgettable evening filled with connections you won’t find in any restaurant in Mendoza.
Here, you’ll learn to cook 7 food recipes centered around the flavors of Argentina, all while sipping on top-rated wine. We’ll meet up at my apartment, nibble on local snacks and sip on Vermuth cocktails, and get to cooking! Class will run for about 3 hours and consist of cooking, socializing, eating, and honestly probably some spills and laughs!
We’ll cook and eat 7 items that consist of 2 appetizers, 1 main, 1 side, 1 dessert, and all-you-care to drink wine from a nearby winery where I work as sommelier( we also have non-alcoholic drinks if needed).
Once class is over, you can all branch off into the rest of your incredible evening in Mendoza with a full belly and possibly some new friends to explore with!

Begin your experience inside a true Argentinian home kitchen, where authentic flavors and hands-on cooking come together. Meet your instructor and a small group to begin your Argentinian culinary adventure. No experience is necessary, and you're bound to learn something new about local cooking and culture, whether you're a novice or an expert chef. Your group will create several traditional dishes such as ancho steak and empanadas, plus appetizers and the classic vermouth. As you cook, you’ll pick up techniques you can easily repeat at home, and your host will capture a few candid photos so you can remember the experience long after it ends. Follow the step-by-step guidance, taking notes if you like. Most ingredients are easy to find worldwide, making it simple to recreate everything later. You’ll also receive our digital recipe book and a curated Mendoza Food Guide to keep exploring local flavors. When the meal is ready, sit together to enjoy the dishes you created and toast with a homemade vermouth served in your complimentary wine glass. You leave with recipes, practical skills, meaningful moments, keepsakes - and the peace of mind of our 5-star money-back guarantee.

My husband and I had such a lovely time with chef David and his sister in Mendoza. He was a wonderful teacher, patiently helping us make several dishes and cocktails, explaining the processes and their cultural significance. He was so friendly and interesting, my husband and I overstayed our time chatting with him!
