This experience stands out by transforming a traditional dinner into an immersive, interactive journey through Argentine food and culture. In an intimate, small-group setting, guests don’t just taste a 14-course menu—they actively participate in it. Hands-on moments like crafting chimichurri, folding empanadas, and learning the ritual of mate create a deeper connection to each tradition. Classic elements like fire-cooked beef, a traditional picada, and dulce de leche desserts are elevated through storytelling and paired with boutique Argentine wines. More than a meal, it’s a social, shared experience that blends cooking, culture, and connection—offering a genuine, inside look at how Argentines eat, gather, and celebrate. The combination of education, entertainment, and high-level gastronomy makes it feel personal, engaging, and far more memorable than a typical restaurant experience, leaving guests with lasting skills, stories, and meaningful connections.

What to expect

This immersive interactive dining experience begins with a glass of sparkling and a warm welcome to your fellow travelers, who will be sharing the evening with you in a small group setting.

Over the course of the night, you’ll be taken on a 14-course journey across Argentina, discovering the flavors, traditions, and stories that make this country’s cuisine so unique. Expect the classics you’ve been dreaming about—like a beef tasting with different cuts prepared over the fire, or freshly baked empanadas you’ll actually learn how to fold yourself in a fun, hands-on empanada class. But also prepare to be surprised with regional specialties and creative twists that you would never expect.

The menu is carefully paired with boutique Argentine wines, each selected to bring out the very best of every dish—from bold Malbecs to small-production whites and sparkling surprises. To round off the evening, you’ll also dive into Argentina’s sweetest traditions, from a playful alfajor-making session to a hands-on mate class, where you’ll learn how to prepare and share our national drink like a local.

More than just dinner, this is a social dinner party centered around Argentine Culture—
