This Experience Is run by Veronica (Betty and Marcelo daughter). I confess that before this Experience my information about mate was very poor. This mate Experience Is fantastic....now I can prepare a mate for myself thanks to Veronica suggestions. For all. ....also lots of fun and above not the "classic boring" food Experience. .,.after this Experience I warmly suggest ti continue with Asado Experience. Thank you Veronica.
Perfect mate tasting experience! You get an overview of everything about mate and get to prepare and drink your own. Highly recommended!
The maté experience was excellent!! Veronica was super knowledgeable and helped us make our own mates and explained every step and the history as well. Also included was an alfajor for a sweet treat. I highly recommend this add on experience to the asado as it was amazing!!!

Thank you for your wonderful review. We are delighted that our family asado experience was part of your visit to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Sharing a traditional meal featuring premium rib eye, a guided wine tasting, and Argentine malbec with guests from around the world is what we love most.
Veronica was an incredible guide for the mate experience. She explained mate culture and history while walking us through the steps of preparing and enjoying mate. We would recommend this to anyone visiting Argentina. Thank you, Veronica!
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are delighted that our mate experience exceeded your expectations and allowed you to enjoy the authentic flavors of Argentina.
It was a great experience. Veronica had a lot of knowledge about Mate (not only argentinien mate) It was so fun and enjoyable! I would recommend it to everyone who wants to know how to prepare it, what the goes and no goes are, learn about the background and differences of mate. The location is very cute. We did the Mate experience and the Asado and would recommend both and do them again when we are in Buenos Aires again.
We are grateful for your support. Hosting guests in our mate experience in Buenos Aires is a joy, and we are happy you enjoyed the mate and alfajor!
