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

April 12, 2022 Concepcion Newsome

The birthplace of the tango is, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are rife with romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife, and Buenos Aires' European heritage is evident in its architecture, boulevards and parks. Cafe Tortoni, the city's oldest bar, will transport you back to 1858, and the spectacular Teatro Colon impresses just as it did in 1908. Latin America's shopping capital offers the promise of premium retail therapy along its grand, wide boulevards.

Reviewed By FLYankee15 - Ponte Vedra Beach, United States

Walter was amazing host with vast knowledge of Argentine wine and explaining the different wine regions within the country. He was very personable and relaxed taking his time speaking in English and Portuguese for the four of us at the tasting. We were there over two hours as he let us enjoy the tasting while answering many questions while letting us continue finishing the any of the 6 sample bottles (4 reds, 1 white and 1 sparkling). The meats and cheeses were also excellent. All I can say is.... INCREDIBLE!

Wine Tasting Buenos Aires

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.

AsadoAdventure

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).

Facon

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.
