Buenos Aires: Private Yerba Mate and Alfajores Experience｜Argentina

Experience two of Argentina’s most iconic traditions during this private hands-on workshop in the heart of Palermo Soho.

Your experience begins with an introduction to yerba mate, Argentina’s traditional herbal infusion and one of the country’s strongest social rituals. Together with your local host, you’ll learn about the origins of mate, how to recognize different varieties of yerba, and the proper way to prepare and share it like a local. You’ll also taste different blends while discovering the traditions and etiquette surrounding mate culture.

After the mate workshop, continue into the kitchen for a hands-on alfajores class. You’ll prepare one of Argentina’s most beloved sweets using traditional ingredients, including dulce de leche and soft cookies dusted with sugar or coconut. From assembling the cookies to filling and decorating them, you’ll learn the techniques behind this classic Argentine treat.

Designed as a private experience, this activity offers a more personalized atmosphere where guests can interact, ask questions, and connect with local culture through food and conversation.
