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.

I had such a good time at Iguazu

"I had such a good time at Iguazu. It is stunningly beautiful and the power of the water is awesome. Junior, who was our guide on the Argentina side, was excellent, and very helpful. He kept in touch with the boat trip team as there was some question if it would happen (water levels), took me to get the tickets and show me where to board, and really looked after me. Marcelo, who took us to Brazil, was also very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. I must also add a note about the drivers. They were fabulous and obviously work very closely with the guides, and do everything they can to make sure you get to where you need to be. So thank you for providing me with an excellent tour of such a wonderful natural phenomenon. I have already recommended you to several people and will continue to do so.

Iguazu Falls…indeed a natural wonder !!!

"The tour in its entirety was well organized, from pick up to drop off at our hotel. Taking the Iguazu Falls Tour on the Brazilian side was a spectacular experience…from the balcony to the Devil’s Throat, the 1.5 trail offered us a panoramic view of the falls, allowed us to view the falls at different angles, hence great for photos. It entailed a lot of walking and climbing, yet it was worth the experience. For my family, the Iguazu Falls is indeed a natural wonder…another destination that’s been ticked off our bucket list. Thanks to your team for making it a wonderful and unforgettable experience for us.

Travel to Iguazu from Buenos Aires was memorable.

"Travel to Iguazu from Buenos Aires was easy and direct. We made transfer arrangements from the airport to our hotel in advance. Our two night stay at Gran Melia could not have been more enjoyable. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the location is superb. We enjoyed amazing views of the falls from our room, and everywhere else throughout the hotel and its grounds. A short, simple walk brought us up close to even more amazing and breathtaking views. One of the most memorable resort experiences we’ve had.
