In this intimate tasting session, you’re welcomed into a local home to explore Peru’s most meaningful flavors through stories, recipes, and traditions passed down for generations.
You won’t be cooking; you’ll be savoring. Each tasting is introduced with its cultural background, showing how Indigenous, Spanish, and Afro-Peruvian influences shaped Lima’s food identity.
Guests often say this was “the moment our trip to Peru became personal.”
The experience feels like sitting at a local family’s table - relaxed, warm, and full of insights you won’t hear on typical tours. Between tastings, your host shares traditions, anecdotes, and the meaning behind each dish, turning flavors into memories.
This isn’t a staged show. It’s your behind-the-scenes pass into how Peruvians eat, celebrate, and welcome guests.
Seats are intentionally limited to keep the atmosphere personal, so early reservation is recommended.

What to expect
Unlike market tours or restaurant tastings, this experience happens inside a real local home, giving you access to flavors and rituals most travelers never see.
The format is intentionally intimate. With very small groups, your host tailors each explanation to your questions and interests, turning the tasting into a personalized exploration rather than a scripted presentation.
Most visitors only taste Peruvian dishes; here, you understand them. Slowly, intentionally, and with the kind of context that changes how you recognize these flavors for the rest of your trip.
