Your Authentic Argentine Asado Experience
Experience the authentic flavor of Argentine culture with the Buenos Aires Asado Adventure, a unique food tour that immerses you in the traditional dining ritual of the asado. Join a small group of no more than 10 guests as we guide you through the customs and flavors of an Argentine barbecue in a private home — a charming space that was once an old neighborhood bakery from 1890.
Your experience begins by lighting the fire and preparing the chimichurri together, followed by a relaxed walk through Palermo Viejo. Along the way, we’ll stop at a local butcher and a specialty wine shop, where you’ll enjoy a curated tasting of Argentine wines paired with local cheeses. You'll also discover the neighborhood’s rich history and colorful street art before returning for a leisurely multi-course meal cooked over the coals.
