Dinner Experience

(Interactive dinner only)
Guests who choose the Dinner Experience arrive at 7:30 PM and begin the evening with the cocktail workshop. Guided by the hosts, you prepare a wine based cocktail and enjoy its pairing. You then continue to the empanada activity where you fold and fill your own creation.

A traditional Argentine picada follows, featuring provoleta, chorizo, black sausage roll, and smoked chicken. The centerpiece of the evening is a tenderloin steak served with seasonal vegetables. Dessert includes an alfajor making activity with dulce de leche and chocolate, and the night closes with a mate ceremony. The experience ends around 10:30 PM.

Full Experience

(Wine Tasting + Dinner)
Your evening begins at 6:15 PM with a guided tasting that introduces the history of Catena Zapata, one of the most influential wine families in Argentina. You will enjoy three selected wines paired with cheeses and regional tapas. This moment creates the perfect atmosphere to learn, relax, and connect with Argentine viticulture before transitioning into the main experience.

At 7:30 PM, you join the group for the interactive dinner. A cocktail session starts the night, allowing you to mix your own wine based drink with the help of the guides. Then you learn the repulgue technique while crafting your own empanada. The night continues with a picada of signature local flavors, followed by a generous steak course served with seasonal vegetables.

For dessert, you create your own alfajores using dulce de leche, chocolate fondue, and coconut shavings. The final ritual is the mate class where you prepare yerba mate from scratch and share this tradition with the group. The experience ends around 10:30 PM.
