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 local flavors and hands-on cooking come together in a small-group setting. Meet your local host and fellow travelers to begin your culinary adventure. No prior cooking experience is necessary, and you’re bound to learn something new about Argentinian cuisine and culture, whether you’re a novice or an expert chef. Together, you’ll prepare traditional Argentinian dishes such as ancho steak and empanadas, along with appetizers and the classic vermouth. As you follow step-by-step guidance throughout the class, you’ll learn practical methods used locally that are easy to recreate back home. Your host will also capture candid photos to help you remember the experience. Most ingredients are easy to find worldwide, and you’ll receive a digital recipe book plus a curated Mendoza Food Guide to keep exploring local flavors. When the meal is ready, sit together to enjoy the dishes you’ve prepared and toast with a homemade vermouth and a complimentary glass of wine.

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!
