Things to do in Buenos Aires, Capital Federal District: The Best Food & Drink

The greatest wines of Argentina in the heart of Palermo in Buenos Aires. We will be waiting for you with an open bottle and a lot of wine stories to tell! Daily tastings at 5pm... book for it in bit.ly/TastingJA ! ;)

In a light-hearted and convivial atmosphere, Time Out's bilingual sommelier accompanies small groups around the streets of Palermo, dropping into some of the city's finest restaurants to sample a selection of quality Argentinean wines (red, white and sparkling wines). There are seven samples in total from four of the leading local wineries.

Wine Tasting Buenos Aires is a relaxed and social wine tasting in our beautiful wine space in Palermo Soho. During the tasting we try 5 Argentine wines from across the country paired with traditional Argentine appetizers, introduce each wine and explain the regions and history of wine in Argentina. Wines vary slightly between tastings, but at most tastings we start with Torrontés, the only native grape to Argentina grown in the highest elevation vineyards in the world, next a Pinot Noir from Patagonia, followed by 2 Malbecs from Mendoza and San Juan, before finally finishing with an incredible red blend from Mendoza.

Each one of us is a biking Sommelier in search of the flavors that this world offers. The Sommelier we all have inside guides us on a trip to the world of tastings and experiences. We want to share with you our tours and moments lived around the world and in this space, our and your place in Palermo`s heart. We invite you to join Sommelier en bicicleta´s fascinating trip.

This is a walking tour through Palermo where we will try the lastest specialty coffee innovations, cocktails with coffee, classic recipes for espresso-based beverages and non-traditional brewing methods. We will eat sweet and salty snacks along with the beverages.

Participate in creating a typical weekend family asado (local bbq) that Argentina is famous for. Your guide wil take your small semi-private group to the butcher shop, the bakery, and the wine store, all the while walking the cobblestone streets of either Palermo Viejo or San Telmo, just like a local family would do. You then go back to a large private home (not a restaurant) and help prepare the asado. It is a first-hand experience of learning how to prep the meat, create the salad, build the fire with charcoal and wood, and all the while learn about the neighborhood (guests might want to jot down the different shops visited for some shopping later). The tour is an experience where you can learn about asado customs, and learn more information about the city in a very relaxed atmosphere. And you would be eating a fantastic asado guided by the very capable hands of a master parrillero (local grill master).

One-of-a-kind pieces from independent designers and rural communities A do-good boutique, with high-end gifts and home goods. We love happening on a good shop—tell us about this one. This is a boutique that could only exist in Argentina. The shop, which resides in a Palermo Soho casona, features everything from pottery to rugs to leather bags, all made by local artists, artisans, and independent industrial designers. Best of all, it pulls double-duty as a wine tasting stop: there's a small wine shop in back to assist thirsty shoppers, especially those who are eager to try a curated selection of the vino-rich country’s best labels. The space was also recently remodeled, and introduced Salu, a chef’s kitchen that incorporates cooking classes into its repertoire.
