This activity is a unique immersive experience that celebrates the Argentine tradition of mate. Under the accompaniment of a specialized sommelier, participants are taken on a sensory journey where they will taste different herbs and learn about their origin, production and the cultural identity that surrounds them. Through sensory comparisons and traditional preparation techniques, they will discover how each herb has its own distinctive flavor, creating a deep connection with the essence of Argentina.

What To Expect

During this experience, travelers will learn to live the mate as we Argentines do. They will begin with a cultural introduction inside the Mate Museum, where they will discover why this infusion is a symbol of national identity. Then they will participate in a guided tasting of different types of yerba mate, comparing aromas, flavors and sensory profiles. A specialized sommelier will explain the production processes that influence each variety and teach the correct technique to prepare a mate : water temperature, traditional methods, weed management and ways to achieve different intensities. Participants will prepare their own matte and explore its nuances in an authentic, warm and participatory atmosphere.

    It was a really great experience. My friend and I visited museum of mate by chance, and the tour turned out to be very interesting. Our guide Ivan told us about all the different types of mate and how to prepare it. He was very involved and explained everything in the details.After, we bought traditional mate cups. I definitely recommend everyone visiting Buenos Aires to visit the Mate Museum!

    I am really glad we did this tasting as we not only managed to get a taste of three different mates, but our guide Ivan explained how mate is made, how to drink it and what makes it taste differently. Thank you, Ivan, for this amazing experience!
