Buenos Aires Asado Experience with Wine Pairing

Great experience, it exceeded all our expectations. Excellent service, I highly recommend it 10/10.

We (group of eight friends from Iceland) thoroughly enjoyed this evening! Everything was perfect and well organized by the hosts. The housing was impressive, grand with cozy lighting making everything so lovely and welcoming. The cooking lesson was very pleasant and interesting, giving us a taste of good quality local cuisine and the wine pairing was truly excellent and informative. Very professional and casual at the same time. We loved it and we highly recommend an evening with these lovely hosts.

Amazing hosts, the food was great. The atmosphere was pleasant, service excellent. Great guest pants. Beautiful house. Great wine selection.

The company, food, wine and ambiance were amazing! We also got to learn all about the Asado tradition & share the night with locals! This was a trip highlight for us! Working with Santiago was so easy as well. He was efficient, professional and detail-oriented. Our trip would not have been complete without this very special evening! Thank you so much.

Our family of three which includes our six year old daughter has traveled throughout Argentina various times in recent years. The experience that Authentic Buenos Aires provided us was nothing short of extraordinary. We arrived in the charming residential neighborhood of Palermo where we entered a beautifully restored 100+ year old home. The intimate group of 10 gathered in the main salon with 180 degree views of Palermo. We were greeted with a beautiful glass of espumante from Salentein vineyards and a well curated picada board. After introductions we were escorted to the stunning rooftop terrace with a gorgeous authentic Argentine parrilla. From there, Santi and the asador guide guests through the various cuts of meat we’d be enjoying, sharing insight into each one, how it’s prepared, and why it matters in an Argentine asado. After the picada, we were invited to participate in hands-on beef empanada making, shaping and sealing the empanadas together before they’re baked on the parrilla. Naty, the sommelier, was outstanding! She was so knowledgeable and passionate about the beautiful Argentine wine pairings that complemented each stage of our meal. Santi, our host, truly brought the experience to life with his hospitality and storytelling that made us feel less like guests and more like family. A special and much deserved shoutout to the mollejas. As someone who always passes on them I am glad I listened and didn’t do so this time. Perfectly crispy on the outside and almost creamy on the inside, finished with the most balanced citrus flavor. I cannot stop thinking about them! The team really does an incredible job of going beyond just food. We learned how an asado is the cornerstone of Argentine culture and family life. Thank you to the team for a wonderful evening filled with great company, hospitality and incredible food!

We had a wonderful time at our asado experience with the authentic BA. Booking and pre-event communication were smooth and easy. Santi is a fabulous host and went out of his way to plan a fantastic evening for our family of 6, including making gluten-free accommodations for 2 family members with celiac disease. Leo was a master at the asado and prepared each of the many courses to perfection. Valentina was super friendly and knowledgeable about Argentinian wines and made sure that no one had an empty glass for long. The food was amazing, plentiful and diverse. Valentina expertly paired local wines with each course and provided in depth information about the wines, grapes, vineyards and winemakers. Santi explained the tradition of the asado to Argentine culture and informed us about each course and its preparation. We were even given a crash course in making empanadas and were able to enjoy the fruits of our labor after Leo expertly grilled the empanadas that we made. The location was convenient (Palermo) and in a beautiful historic building dating back to 1910. Our family was joined by a lovely couple from China with whom we enjoyed spending the evening. Retiring to the spacious rootop terrace to enjoy desert (and more wine) around a fire pit was a special way to round out the evening. I wholeheartedly recommend the Buenos Aires Asado Experience with Wine Pairing with the authentic BA. In short, a very special evening with enthusiastic and fun hosts that was high quality and a good value. We will tell all of our friends about our experience and are already looking forward to our next trip to Buenos Aires and our repeat Asado with the authentic BA.

Wow, the Asado was fantastic. The food was so delicious, and you, Nati and Leo (?) were absolutely delightful and so much fun. The venue (roof top) was amazing and the wines were fantastic. I wished we could have done it more than one night. It was, hands down, the best food we had in BA.

This was the highlight of our trip!! Santi, Nati (sommelier), Leo (grill master/chef), and Alan welcomed us with an experience that exceeded our expectations. We were 2 families with kids ranging in ages and dietary restrictions and they accommodated all of us with ease and everyone learned something about the local food and culture while enjoying the cozy feel of a historical home. They were so personable and friendly we had the best time and could have hung out with them all day. Wine selections were perfect. It was just the right amount of hands-on experience. We all loved making empanadas and chimicurri. If they have availability, do not miss this!

This was our absolute favorite part of Buenos Aires! So unique, personalized, authentic…. Delicious food, impeccable wine selections, fantastic, welcoming, and informative guides/hosts. Five stars all around from our families! If you do one thing in Buenos Aires, it should be this! Catering to 7 carnivores, 1 pescetarian, and 1 vegetarian with ease - Thank you Santi, Nati, Leo, and Allen for the memories.

The experience was incredible !! We spend a great time meeting new people and learning a lot about Argentinian culture The place is really beautiful, the food was delicious and the wine selection very well done, they really know what they are doing! Thanks Santi and his team for the kindness and hosting us, if you are in BA I highly recommend to visit them!
