Amazing Empanadas and Malbec wine
An incredible experience! The instructor, Valentín, was super friendly and attentive throughout the entire class. The assistant was excellent, and everything was explained in a fun and relaxed way. The empanadas were absolutely delicious, and the wine was the perfect pairing. I highly recommend this experience!

We loved the small group...
We loved the small group cooking class. Everything was well planned and delicious. The meats and cheeses served with three wine selections were also nice. We learned about the different folds on the empanada that identify the ingredients and left with the recipes. Great time had by all!

Fun 'make your own' lunch
Mica and Raul were great hosts. Nice balance of culture and cooking with some excellent wines thrown into the mix! Good fun trying to make the empanadas, practice will be needed to refine the looks! Absolutely worth doing. Fantastic value

Micaela D was fantastic!...
Micaela D was fantastic! I really enjoyed the class, the wine, the other travelers, and the discussions. It was so much fun! I cannot wait to go home and make empanadas for the family since Micaela sent us the recipe. What a wonderful class and teacher :) I highly recommend it!

Disorganization and a lack of professionalism that ruined the experience.
The place is very welcoming, and the host was super kind at all times, but unfortunately, the culinary experience left much to be desired. There was a lack of organization and preparation: they did not know where the utensils or ingredients were, the host did not know how to peel/chop an onion, the meat was defrosted in the microwave at the last minute, and the dough was store-bought, so we did not learn how to make it. We were also not provided with a clear recipe. Additionally, the wines were not uncorked at the moment; instead, they served us what was left from already opened bottles. I believe the activity has potential due to the warmth of the space, but currently, it does not fulfill what it promises as an experience.
Operator response
Hola, muchas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de compartir tu experiencia y por destacar la calidez del espacio y de nuestra anfitriona, eso refleja el espíritu con el que recibimos a cada huésped. Queremos ser transparentes respecto a algunos puntos que mencionás, ya que ese día enfrentamos una serie de circunstancias imprevistas que afectaron el desarrollo normal de la actividad. Respecto a la carne, hubo una falla en nuestra coordinación interna que hizo que el descongelado no se realizara con la anticipación necesaria. Tomamos la decisión de seguir adelante para no interrumpir el flujo de la actividad. En relación a los vinos, las botellas que se sirvieron correspondían a un remanente de una actividad previa de ese mismo día, algo que no refleja nuestro protocolo estándar de servicio. Entendemos que ese detalle impacta directamente en la experiencia, les pedimos sinceras disculpas. Tu feedback es muy valioso para nosotros y nos ayuda a garantizar que estas situaciones no se repitan. Esperamos poder recibirte nuevamente y brindarte la experiencia completa que merecés. ¡Muchas gracias!
