3-hour Mendoza Tasting Tour with 34 Traditional Argentine Flavors
Description
Experience an unforgettable night of Argentine warmth and flavor in the heart of Mendoza. At the home of Javier and Paula — lifelong locals and natural storytellers — you’ll enjoy a 3–4 hour journey through 34 traditional Argentine flavors, tasting everything from grilled meats and handmade empanadas to boutique Malbecs and creamy dulce de leche desserts. As you gather around their family table, stories flow as easily as the wine. You’ll hear about Sunday asados, neighborhood cafés, and the rituals that make food the heartbeat of Argentina. This isn’t a restaurant tasting; it’s a cozy, laughter-filled evening that feels like being welcomed by old friends. You’ll leave with a full heart, new friends, and photos that capture a night worth remembering, the kind that stays with you long after the last sip of wine. Because here, we believe every guest deserves a five-star night. And we’ll make sure yours is one - if yours isn’t, we’ll make it right or refund you.

Javier and Paola open their home to their guests and create an unforgettable evening of story, food, and drink. The evening begins with a glass of beautiful Argentina wine and an introduction from Javier. From there we go to the island in the kitchen and sample a generous charcuterie board with many other tastes unlike anything you have tasted elsewhere. As Americans we were not familiar with vermouth and sparkling water with a large slice of orange. What a refreshing drink! Then wine and then Frenet and Coke, an acquired taste, I think but one I have been curious about. With a glass of delicious Torrentés we moved to the dining room table. We actually should have moved outdoors for a run, though I think I would have had to be rolled down the street. The meal that followed with empanadas, tomatoe salad, roasted potatoes, steak and more was all prepared to perfection. The desert of flan was made with orange zest which added a very nice zing to it. I was so busy enjoying it I forgot to take a photo. Our hosts are simply incredible. This amazing pair were able to entertain and include both a quite young couple and a quite old couple seamlessly. This is an experience you should not miss when in Mendoza.
What a review — thank you. Javier and Paola put their hearts into hospitality, and it’s brilliant to read the details you loved, from vermouth to flan with orange zest. We’ll pass this on — it’s exactly the kind of night we try to create in Mendoza. 🍷 Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta
The family was lovely and welcomed us into their home with open arms. They made us feel right at home and taught us traditional artisan cooking. The family, Paula and Javier, worked together and included hands on cooking for my whole family with smiles on their faces, and they spoke English. They played music and explained how they were cooking the food so we could learn. They were a beautiful family and I truly recommend their cooking class!
What a lovely note — Javier and Paula open their home and hearts, and that family energy is the heart of the experience. Gracias for recommending them. 👪 Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta
