An Unforgettable Asado Experience in Buenos Aires
Experience the authentic flavor of Argentine culture with the Buenos Aires Asado Adventure® — a one-of-a-kind food tour that brings the legendary asado to life. Join a small group (max 10 guests) in a charming former neighborhood bakery from 1890, now a private home, as we guide you through the flavors, stories, and rituals of this beloved barbecue tradition.
You’ll start by learning to build the fire and prepare chimichurri from scratch. Then we’ll take a relaxed walk through Palermo Viejo, stopping at a local butcher to pick up blood sausage — a classic asado staple — and at a specialty wine shop for a tasting of Argentine wines paired with artisanal cheeses. Along the way, you’ll discover the area’s vibrant street art and rich history before returning to share a leisurely multi-course meal cooked over the coals.
