In this intimate tasting session, you’re welcomed into a local home to explore Peru’s most meaningful flavors through stories, recipes, and traditions passed down for generations. You won’t be cooking; you’ll be savoring. Each tasting is introduced with its cultural background, showing how Indigenous, Spanish, and Afro-Peruvian influences shaped Lima’s food identity. Guests often say this was “the moment our trip to Peru became personal.” The experience feels like sitting at a local family’s table - relaxed, warm, and full of insights you won’t hear on typical tours. Between tastings, your host shares traditions, anecdotes, and the meaning behind each dish, turning flavors into memories. This isn’t a staged show. It’s your behind-the-scenes pass into how Peruvians eat, celebrate, and welcome guests. Seats are intentionally limited to keep the atmosphere personal, so early reservation is recommended.
