Hands down one of my favorite experiences while visiting Buenos Aires. From the start, the staff was incredibly welcoming and informative. We were greeted with welcome cocktails (we get to mix it ourselves!) plus snacks and wine pairings throughout the meal. The setting was very intimate, and everyone got to interact and participate like a group project while making the empanadas together. (I learned to cut onions correctly..) We learned about the food, some history, and had a great time chatting with fellow guests around us. What I really appreciated was how accommodating they were with dietary restrictions. Whether you're vegetarian or have dairy restrictions like I do, they truly work with you with food substitutes.. When we made empanadas, the chef even prepared a separate dough with olive oil instead of butter for 2 of us that didn't want dairy.. and the desserts were made dairy-free as well. Quite impressive. It felt like a full five-course meal. The hands-on part was making the empanadas, while the chef handled the entrees rest of the way with steaks and veggies. (Don't think anyone was complaining about that). Overall, great food, great conversations with our group and the people around us, and time flew by.. Awesome experience from start to finish. 5/5. read more

Amazing and well worth the price - we laughed, we learned to make empanadas, we got fairly buzzed, then enjoyed perfectly grilled filets. So what is the Argentine Experience? You sit at a community table with a dozen other guests. The staff cleverly interacts with the entire group, and you individually - Franco & Laura we're both virtuosos on their stage. Entertainment aside, your wine glass is never empty. There is always something amazing to taste in front of you. When the event is over, you'll wonder how the last three hours flew by so quickly. read more

I'm going to leave out what exactly we did throughout the night because you can find those in the other reviews. We had SO much fun! The entire staff was awesome and welcoming. The name that smell ice breaker and the cocktail tapas were perfect to help get to know the other guests. I highly recommend getting to know everyone. It enhances the experience. This is definitely a tourist attraction. That said, it's not a bad thing! The food was incredible and plentiful and we met great people. Didn't hurt that I won the empanada making contest! read more

This is a Must Do! From the moment we walked in, we felt home. The staff learned our names and were incredibly accommodating. During the three drink cocktail demo, they told stories about the history of their country & were funny & engaging. Then, you get to make your own drink - it elevated my cocktail skills. Who knew wine could be a cocktail? Upstairs we had a wonderful multi course meal and wine pairing. The history of Argentina came alive through their energy & the fantastic food. I know how to make my own empanada! Dessert was a home run - pay the extra to keep your Mate glass, it's a beautiful souvenir. Extra perk - sitting family style we met the most interesting people. It was fun to celebrate with everyone & the evening ended with champagne ! read more

This experience is totally unlike anything we have done before in all our travels. Not that we haven't done wine tasting and cocktail blending and cooking classes/observation before (we have done all these things elsewhere), but the energy, creativity and true expression of the Argentine spirit was beyond comparison. The chef and her team were amazing; every one of her dishes was prepared to perfection (tapas, main courses [including osso buco and beautifully thin sliced sirloin] , desserts...i lost count finally of how many different items they prepared).. Gabriel led the fun with his enthusiastic delivery and creative cocktails, all the way through the event. I lost my list of all the names of the team (Laura, Kevin, Danielle et al ...) but each one contributed to make it a memorable event, individually as well as part of the team. The fact that it is designed for only small groups (2 tables of 6 couples each) made it intimate and interactive. We all came away with recipes for all the dishes and a spontaneous group photo of the attendees with the team.....just because it was a night unlike any other. read more

Boy, did I step out of my box for this one. And truthfully, I'm glad I did! One of our activities in Buenos Aires was to this empanada-making class that included dinner. If you're thinking "I'm not a chef or cook, I just love to eat" like I was, stow it! It was really fun. This coming from a guy who loathes communal tables! ATMOSPHERE: The two level biz does dual experiences of different food types at almost the same time. Downstairs features a bar and communal high top, and the upstairs where we were, had a service bar (no seats) and another communal high top. THE EXPERIENCE: My spouse and I arrived, were bubbly greeted and were taken upstairs where 4 of the 19 total students were already seated. What an odd moment of silence this was as I'm not a very friendly individual at the get-go. Glasses of wine mixed with apple juice was served, with white wine next. As the room filled, the odd silence was finally broken as more individuals gathered, making small conversation. We met a family from Australia, California and Georgia. Everyone had a great time! Our "teacher" told stories in a comedic way and provided info on the food being presented. Then started the endless follow of red wine throughout the evening. First up was Patagonian trout tartar served on a crostini. It was good, and a light app to start with. We then started the empanada making with a history lesson then hands-on work. We made two empanadas, one the traditional way, the second one being a creative piece of our own to be judged and awarded with a pic on their Facebook page. After sending the traditional one back to be cooked, we then had 10 minutes to create a masterpiece of our own. I had intended on making an American football, but after forming my empanada, a cat's face was beginning to take shape, which I the spent the entire 10 minutes doing! Then, our traditional empanadas were served, along with a hot ceramic platter of cheese balls, a spread of blood & chorizo sausages and lemony-flavored pork strips. Then, another platter comes out full of potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, parsnip and sliced corn on the cob, along with a good-sized cut of filet mignon, cooked perfectly. For dessert was a mini spatula with two cubes of cheese on it topped with an orange and brown cube each, that we were to guess what they were. Turns out the orange one was pumpkin and the brown one was tree fibers soaked in a sugar mixture, which texture wise was very fibrous. Then, we made our own dulce de leche macaroons, dipped in ground coconut and melted chocolate. Last but not least was making our own maté tea. A cup with a steel self-filtering straw, hot water and dried maté tea leaves were brought out. We filled the cup halfway with tea, cupped the top with our palm and shook it to "dust" the tea. Add water and enjoy. Tasted like ordinary tea to me. The creative empanada winner was announced and sadly it wasn't yours truly. We then took a group photo and said our goodbyes. OVERALL: So why not 5 stars? Table seating was tight, and I couldn't see some of the demos since the instructor was at the opposite end of the table. Still, a fun thing to do in BA! read more

Came here for my son's 18th birthday. He had a blast drinking wine for the first time and having an adult night out. Cocktail hour was fun with the scent game and cocktail making class. Empanada makimg was interesting. Dinner was excellent. Wine was flowing non stop. 4 hrs went by in a blur. One of our best nights in Buenos Aires. read more

Went here with my dad during our first night in Buenos Aires and had a wonderful time! Met some great new people, the staff was super friendly and made the experience tremendous. If you're looking for a fun activity to do with your friends, family or even by yourself I can't recommend this place enough. We added the mixology portion and it was a great addition to our empanada making and dinner! read more

Amazing experience! The staff was super friendly and accommodating when we had to change our reservation due to a flight delay. The food is absolutely amazing and they never let you run out of wine. The staff will have you laughing while teaching you Argentine culture. It was also very enjoyable meeting other travelers. This is a must do in BA read more

A really fun experience where you can make your own cocktails (if that option is purchased), empanadas, mate, and alfajores. The waitresses work hard to keep you entertained the whole evening, while giving (I imagine) scripted presentations and cultural tidbits about Argentine culture. We were given three cocktail demonstrations downstairs at the bar and were able to make a full size one and take it to dinner upstairs, where we were then given a torrontés, pinot noir, and malbec and cab sauvignon blend to go with the dishes. We wore hats and were able to make our own cheese or meat empanadas, one regular one and two with whatever creative shapes we could come up with. The meal proceeded with small bites that started off with trout from Patagonia, some meat (mostly pork) bites, cheese, and proceeded to steak cooked to our liking (unfortunately almost everyone at my table got our steaks cooked a notch higher than what we'd ordered) served with roasted root vegetables, and finished with mate and two rounds of dessert. We were shown how to blend our own mate out from the jar, and make our own alfajores that entailed filling dulce de leche between two sugar cookies, roll the mini sandwich in coconut, then finish by dipping it in chocolate. Overall a really fun and entertaining experience, though I bet the waitresses probably have gone through the same process and told the same jokes many times over to the point of it feeling more like a chore than spontaneous wit. We still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, were very happily fed, and learned a couple of things about Argentine culture for sure. read more

All while laughing. i was able to buy two beautiful colorful mate cups that will remind me of this great experience! huge shoutout to Valentina and the other hosts. amazing experience! Thank you!! - Meagan from NY (from a contiki) read more

Excellent! A leap above your typical restaurant catering to out of towners! This elegant little spot should be a must stop for anyone visiting Buenos Aires that likes good food! From the beginning they do everything right. Upon entering it is only minutes before the first bites arrive to take the edge of hunger and allow for better listening/learning about the history of Argentina's favorite food. The wine flows, the process of making the empanadas is simple and fun. The whole experience is one of very good food and fine entertainment. As a bonus round they are also open for dinner which I have been told is a glorious two hour affair. read more

The employee (ENZO) with the glasses was speaking poorly about our group right after serving us. Augustine was sweet but this guy ENZO seemed upset to be doing his job. He called us obnoxious. Very unprofessional. Otherwise, experience would've been a 10/10. Maybe don't talk shit about your customers in front of them! Lol. read more

My dad and I attended the Experience (cocktail hour before and dinner) on Sunday, the 16th. The cocktail hour was very fun, with a scent-guessing game and learning how to make three very yummy (all very different) cocktails. Small appetizers accompanied these drinks and all three were delicious. I am happy to say that the cocktail hour appitizers and the dinner have gluten free options, we noted that one part of the group had a gluten allergy/celiac disease and they had great accommodations. Gluten free breads and sweet potato alternatives to bread. They even had gluten free supplies to make empanadas! The dinner had plenty of courses and plenty of wine- they do not skimp on the wine! The small, fried cheese balls (I believe they were called Provolenda?) were so amazing! Need to take this idea home and remake. Steak was also very tasty. They had dessert too (also gluten free options avaliable). This included cookies with dulce de leche and learning how to make/drink mate. At the end of the night we each got to take a mate cup home. All in all, this was awesome and very worth the money! read more

Had a great time here - very interactive experience, paired with fun facts and tips regarding Argentine culture! We were taught how to make our own empanadas, which culminated in a contest to see who's was the most creative. We also learned how to order our steak in Spanish, as well as some common expressions. The courses we were served were top notched as well. The empanadas, pork and steak, in particular, stood out. The dishes were paired with wine as well and we got fun chef hats to wear. Awesome time for our large group. read more

Found the Argentine experience on Instagram and my 13 year old and i thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. All of the food prepared was delicious and the staff was very entertaining. Would have been perfect if we had left with copies of recipes. We enjoyed meeting other travelers and hearing their tips. We had so much fun making empanadas and we were able to purchase mate cups and a special cheese pan. read more

Even though the Argentine Experience is 100% geared towards tourists, my hubby and I have no regrets that we spent our first night in BA mixing cocktails, drinking wine, eating delicious food and mingling with fellow travelers!

This was THE MOST FUN we had in BA. It's like a dinner party with friends- the hosts are fabulous, the meal was amazing and we learned about Argentina. The steaks were fabulous. We had a vegetarian and they were super accommodating and she LOVED her meal too. Unlimited wine, need I say more? Most nice restaurants in BA are priced very reasonably compared to USD. This one was very expensive for BA but totally worth it! It's like a party, a great meal and a cultural experience all in one. read more

This is a great experience, especially for solo travelers. You learn about making empanadas, ordering steaks in Argentina and other fun things like familiar expressions and hand gestures. The wine flows freely all night and the food is tasty. You will drink mata tea and be forewarned that you share the straw with others. It's their custom. So be prepared for that or skip it. read more

I had so much fun learning about Buenos Aires and Argentine culture with Barbi, Igor, and Camille. They kept our wine glasses full, our mouths so happy with amazing picadas and learned so much about Buenos Aires and Argentina!!

Okay so if you need a delicious, yet touristy type dinner this is the place. All the food is beyond delicious and they staff creates a fun atmosphere of learning about the cuisine & culture of Argentina. The wine is amazing and flows like water. It is pricey and to be honest you could find the same caliber of food for much much less at some of the great streak houses of BA. This is an experience that allows you to be more social, but keep in mind you'll only be social with other tourists. read more

super tons of fun!!! this is a GREAT place to bring visitors to the city.... some good info on Argentina as a country and great wine and food!! Very friendly staff!! Had a really good time. Well worth the $$ read more

As an experience, it was awesome. Would definitely recommend if you are an English speaking tourist. 5 stars there, but the food is a solid 4 stars. Steak is better at higher rated places in Buenos Aires. The Malbec they served was great, but the other wines were just good. Overall a very fun experience and would recommend with the caveat above read more

Visiting here was a highlight of our time in BA. We were traveling with a group and had a blast from beginning to end. The guessing game about wine aromatics was so much fun. Making wine cocktails and empanadas was a terrific and tasty experience. The main meal featured the best beef we had during our trip. The staff was warm, gregarious, and had a great sense of humor. I would make this a "must do" on any BA itinerary. The price was quite reasonable. read more

We were welcomed by 2 wonderful and funny young ladies with a welcome drink to get the evening started. Then we did a "smell test". Thought I'd do great, but.... lol. The mixology class was wonderful, entertaining and definitely fun. We were served tapas and tasted 3 different wine based cocktails and THEN had to make them for our partners. Was very nice. We were 2 couples. The dinner was another wild experience. Joined another 35 or so people who weren't already prepped with multiple drinks but were ready to party. The presentation of the evenings events to occur were funny and educational. We ate and drank throughout lessons of empanada making and eating. They even had a competition of design. Cute stories given by the leaders of the group to keep everything moving with fun and more wine! The steak they served was the BEST STEAK I have eaten in 3 days of eating beef for lunch and dinner!!!!!! I couldn't believe how good it was. Then desert!! We were given some national favorites that were absolutely different and amazingly tasty. You won't believe it! Then we made alfajores. Basically a home made sandwich with dulce de leche (caramel), coconut and chocolate. Omg! So good. The evening lasted 5 hours!! The best evening we have had in a long time, anywhere!! If you miss this experience, you will have missed A LOT!!!!!! read more

This experience was by far THEE best experience ever! We highly recommend this for any people traveling to and through Buenos Aires! Plenty of food, more than enough wine. Super interactive and by far worth every single dime. We had so much food that we had to carry out our leftovers which they were more than willing to let us do. Please please please do this experience and thank me later! :-) read more

This was the best money we spend in Argentina by far. The atmosphere was fun and engaging. The food was fantastic and the drinks were amazing.

Great experience; I stopped through with my husband while I was on business trip. Recommend it hands down just try it
