Description
In this intimate tasting session, you’re welcomed into a local home in Cusco to discover the flavors, customs, and food traditions that shape everyday life in Peru.
This is a chance to slow down, taste thoughtfully, and experience Peruvian food in a more personal and meaningful way. Each tasting is presented with the stories and cultural context behind it, helping you see how local ingredients, heritage, and tradition come together at the table.
The atmosphere is relaxed, warm, and personal, like being invited to share food in someone’s home rather than joining a standard tour.
As the session unfolds, your host shares anecdotes, customs, and small details that turn each tasting into something deeper than just a flavor.
Rather than watching a staged presentation, you get a genuine glimpse into how Peruvians gather, serve, and share food with others.
Seats are intentionally limited to keep the experience personal, so early booking is recommended.

Cushuro and Chicha Morada
We got to taste many typical peruvian ingredients and foods, many without too much seasoning to really experience their pure flavor. My favorite ones were Cushuro (vegan "caviar of the Andes") and Chicha Morada, a drink made of black corn. Victor also told us a lot about their history and preparation, which was extremly intresting.

Tasting local products
It was a very exciting day getting to know Peruvian products; Chef Víctor had us try 30 typical products from Peru, the drinks were very refreshing and of excellent quality. I recommend this experience for those who are curious to learn about local cuisine from a perspective different from all the restaurants.
