The Argentine Experience in Iguazu
Another excellent option, which has been hugely successful in Buenos Aires and now in Iguazu, is the Argentine Experience. This fun, interactive, and delicious gastronomic experience offers a chance to learn more about local cuisine, taste a great dinner, and make new friends in a friendly atmosphere.
The concept of this unique dinner party is to teach you the fundamentals of what it means to be Argentine, while having more fun than you can find anywhere else. You will learn how to close your own empanada using the ‘repulge’ technique, order steak in Spanish, and prepare your own ‘mate’ drink. Isn’t that interesting? Argentine Experience also offers the Wine Cocktail Experience, a one-hour wine-based cocktail class that starts before dinner. Delve into the nuances of Argentina’s world-renowned wines, learn how to make three wine-based cocktails, and try your hand at making your own. Of course, no wine-based fun is complete without food, so enjoy our selection of homemade tapas, perfectly paired with each drink.
Argentine Experience is not just a cooking class but a unique dining experience where guests participate in the closing of their empanadas, compete in a novelty empanada contest, construct their own alfajores, and prepare their own mate. All gourmet ingredients and steaks are prepared by our highly skilled chefs. You will receive the recipes for everything, so you can recreate The Argentine Experience at home.
Dinners are always conducted in English, but guides can speak Portuguese and Spanish and translate for you. Private dinners can also be held in Portuguese or Spanish. This is the perfect combination with your visit to the Iguazu Falls, as the wine cocktail class starts at 6:30 pm, and the dinner starts punctually at 8 pm. So you’ll have enough time to return, take a shower, and be ready for this incredible experience. Dinners usually end around 10:30 pm.
