Share an eight-course Argentine asado with Betty and Marcelo in Palermo Soho, with premium meats, local wines, stories, and warm family hospitality.

Betty is incredibly kind and welcoming, and made sure to explain everything to me which was super helpful. all in all, this made me feel like I was right at home. I highly recommend this experience if you can fit it in your schedule.”
Review of Buenos Aires’ Argentine asado dinner with unlimited wine, live tango, folk music, and a friendly small-group setting.
“Incredible experience! Thank you Milton, Mati & Tomi. Food was delicious, perfectly cooked, drinks, conversation & connection flowed all night. This was genuinely like meeting up with friends on a Sunday evening. Milton waited at the end until everyone had been picked up too. Great care & love is put into this experience”
Make empanadas, light an Argentine asado, taste Mendoza wines, and share Fernet on a local rooftop with mountain views.
“From the moment I saw the opportunity to be hosted by a Mendocino local, I knew it was perfect for our family of four. Getting to know Fede was a delight. He has managed to create a unique, hands on Asado experience on his rooftop terrace. He is a crafter of wines and a magician with meat, not to mention dessert, which is not to be missed. From the moment we made the booking he was friendly and helpful. We hope, one day, to welcome him and his lovely family into our home.”
Ride Creole horses through Mendoza’s Andes, then enjoy empanadas, high-altitude wine, asado, and dessert at a private family ranch.
“Really great experience! First of all nice personal contact right away together with a quick confirmation of the trip. The Ranch is beautiful, the surrounding is so spacious, I found it breath taking. The horses are super well behaved and well taken care off! The ride itself is beautiful and we enjoyed every bit of it. The food afterwards was excellent. You just feel that they have a heart of liking good products. We geld so relaxed. And next to that we even got really nice tips for the rest of our stay. Thank you so mutch!”
