4hr Punta Cana BBQ Class with a Local: Lechón & Mofongo｜Dominican Republic

Join your local host in Punta Cana for a relaxed 4-hour BBQ class built around Dominican home cooking and shared at an easy pace. Start with a light appetizer and a local sauce, then move into the grill session where you learn how lechón asado is seasoned and cooked. Continue with Dominican staples like mofonguitos, tostones, and moro de guandules con coco, then finish with dulce de coco con leche and the classic Morir Soñando. Along the way, your host shares the stories behind each dish and how Dominicans gather around food in daily life and celebrations. The class is designed to feel warm and social, giving you time to cook, taste, chat, and enjoy the experience with other participants.

What makes this activity unique?

This is not a resort barbecue or a staged cooking demo. It is a relaxed, social Dominican asado session with a local host, where guests cook, taste, and share a full home-style menu in a friendly group setting. The experience brings together the flavors that feel most Dominican, lechón asado, mofongo, tostones, wasakaka, and Morir Soñando drink while leaving plenty of time to enjoy the food, talk with other participants, and feel part of a real local gathering.
