- Preparing Argentine asado with a local family
A traditional Argentine BBQ known as asado is not just a meal, it’s a social event. Although usually it is held on Sundays or due to special occasion, any Argentine will tell you that any excuse can be used. The slow cooking of the meat over the hot wooden embers allows plenty of time for catching up with family and friends, sipping wine and enjoying the distinct aroma of the BBQ. If you wish, you can help with the preparation of the meal and learn the ins and outs of slow cooking over the fire.
During this true feast, you will enjoy an array of sausages and meat cuts, drink red wine, usually Malbec, and finish off with a traditional dessert of flan con dulce de leche.
The grill itself is called a parilla and is usually located in a quincho, a structure where cooking and eating takes place.
This is a great chance to experience dining with a local family while getting a glimpse into an everyday life of Argentines. Practice your Spanish and BBQ’ing skills and make friends along the way! The family members also speak English.
Price per person: 50 USD based on a couple dining together; please contact us for a group or single rate
What’s included: transport from your hotel to the family’s home and back, salad, BBQ, wine, beverages and dessert
