Immerse yourself in the unique experience of mate, Argentina's most iconic drink, right in the heart of Buenos Aires. At our Mate Bar, designed as an authentic pulpería adorned with gaucho and countryside décor, you’ll uncover the secrets of mate in a way you can’t experience on your own.

What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We will meet you at the entrance of Mate Bar Experience, located at Tres Sargentos 463 (Retiro neighborhood). Please arrive 5–10 minutes early, as the session starts on time. If you're running late or need help finding us, feel free to contact us via WhatsApp.
What to expect
In this unique experience, you’ll learn how to cure the calabash —the traditional gourd used to drink mate— and how to prepare (cebar) a proper mate, just like Argentinians do: at the perfect temperature, with care and intention.
During the round, you’ll taste five varieties of premium yerba mate —organic, pesticide-free, and aged for 24 months— served in the most traditional ways: amargo (bitter), dulce (sweet), cocido (steeped like tea), and tereré (cold and refreshing). Each style is paired with stories that connect the Guaraní origins of mate with gaucho traditions and everyday Argentine life.
The experience also includes local flavors that complete the ritual: medialunas (Argentine croissants) from one of the best bakeries in BA, and a sweet ending where you’ll craft your own alfajores filled with creamy dulce de leche.
We’ll be waiting for you with the water at the perfect temperature.
Sip a mate!
