A hands-on Argentine dinner in Puerto Iguazú with Malbec cocktail making, empanada folding tips, 3 wine pairings, and mate ritual.
“We were in Argentina for 8 days (3 cities) and this was one of our favorite experiences! The food was delicious (which is important with this price point) and the wine/drinks were unlimited. We loved the interactive bits that were interspersed throughout the dinner. It was very engaging and helped to facilitate conversation with people around you. The experience caters to multiple languages and tries to facilitate interaction with you and people who are not in your party. We really enjoyed meeting everyone! Bruno and Alvaro were wonderful hosts and made the experiences great!”

They did everything possible to try and accommodate us which was not necessary. Based on this, I wanted to give the highest rating possible. We are very grateful”
Full-day Salta to Cafayate tour through Quebrada de las Conchas, stopping at iconic cliffs, then tasting Torrontes at Cafayate wineries.
“The guide, Angie, was knowledgeable and upbeat. The catch was the bus that was subpar: windshield had a large crack as did the window next to our seat. Also, a number of seats were malfunctioning: either the did no hold an upright position or would not budge from "sleep/rest" position. On a long bus trip, we find essential that the bus be in top condition.”

A long, scenic Salta to Cafayate day trip with Quebrada de las Conchas viewpoints and a winery tasting featuring Torrontés.
“Excellent trip and big shout out to my guide (ange/Angie) not sure how to say her name. She made such an effort to explain to me and the other non Spanish speaker about the area/history and everythijg we needed to know and was very kind with helping in general. Yes with this trip you do spend a long time on the bus but the scenery and stop points are outstanding. Would say maybe the lunch break doesn’t need to be 2 hours. Would rather have started 7.30/8am and had a shorter lunch than started 6.30am, but this is minor and I had a nice day.”
Small-group Malbec tasting at Bodega Gamboa with vineyard walk, cellar samples, multi-course lunch, and Buenos Aires hotel pickup.
“We had a mixed experience. First, the good part. Our Viator guide was excellent and knowledgeable. The transportation was prompt with a good driver. The food experience was 5 stars! Six appetizers, a main course of meat with salad and vegetables and 4 desserts. The food was cooked on a wood burning oven. Now the not so good. The vineyard is still a work in process and the growing conditions for grapes are not ideal. The wines from Mendoza were fine. The wines from the local vineyard were not so good. If you’re a wine connoisseur you will be disappointed. Unfortunately also, the winery tour was conducted mostly in Spanish.…”
