Home to gauchos, fútbol aficionados and die hard tango dancers, beyond “BA” (Buenos Aires), Argentina stretches for more than 2,000 miles from north to south. Explore the tropical jungles of Iguazú falls, the red Andes of Salta with high-altitude vineyards; quiet, swiss villages in the Lake District; whale watching on the Peninsula Valdés; the wild west of El Chaltén and the granite peaks of Mt. Fitz Roy; or the wine hubbub in Mendoza. And then, of course, there’s BA. One of the world’s great capitals, the city slyly seduces shoppers, art lovers, gourmands, and cultural hounds. It will slowly woo you and make you never want to leave.
Epicurean adventures abound. Be prepared for the steak of your life; sublime culinary creations of “modern” Argentine cuisine; a highly addictive treat called medialunas (croissants); and that slinky Malbec flowing freely. Argentines are passionate and intensely friendly. They will show you the time of your life if you let them. Viva la Dolce Vita!
Liz Caskey Culinary & Wine Experiences immerses you in Argentine culture with insider access to amazing experiences, extraordinary people, and palate-delighting food and wines, and mindblowing landscapes. Our journeys will connect you with the Argentina’s people, touch your heart, and speak to your soul.

“Our trip through Chile and Argentina with you was truly memorable.
You’ve done a great job at establishing relationships in the wine
industry as well as the hospitality industry – and it all shows in the
finished product that was our trip. We thoroughly enjoyed everywhere we
went, the first class establishments where we stayed, and the experience
of the whole trip (not to mention all we ate and drank!). We’ve been a
lot of places and on a lot of trips – this truly will be remembered as
one of our more fun experiences as well as a great educational
experience in the Chilean/Argentine wine industry – and our now much
better understanding of wine as well as the industry. Thanks.”

Itinerary
A perfect way to dive into Buenos Aires classic food culture, drive to a
small town in the province of Buenos Aires, just outside the bustling
capital. Here, the pace slows down and century-old traditions are still a
way of life. Meet your host, a local cook with a passion for
Argentina’s gastronomic culture, who will walk you through her delicious
world.
Start by visiting a local bakery to learn how many of the country’s
tasty breads and facturas, pastries, are made each day. Medialunas.
Argentine croissants, will quickly become one of your favorite treats.
Next, since Argentina is so renowned for succulent, grass-fed beef, stop
by a local butcher shop to learn more about the specific cuts of beef
to help you navigate meals in the countless parrilladas.
Continue to the local farmers market located in the heart of town.
Extending for several blocks, roam the market and rub elbows with the
locals as you procure ultra fresh produce, fish, herbs, and spices with
your host.
Arrive at your host’s private family home. To get things started, help
make some of Argentina’s ubiquitous empanadas with chimichurri sauce in
the cozy kitchen. Later, sit down in the garden to a wonderful
four-course meal with paired wines. Each course is guided by a young,
knowledgeable sommelier. Salud to an exquisite exploration!
Return to your hotel in Buenos Aires in mid-afternoon.
