What exactly is included in the tour?

The five-hour itinerary includes tastings at a dulce de leche producer, guided access to Mercado de San Telmo, wine and cheese pairings at Tierras Mendocinas cellar, and a final meal at El Revire Brasas Bravas grill restaurant. Transportation between locations and a guide are included; meals beyond the finale may be at personal expense depending on operator policy.

Is this suitable for vegetarians?

The tour culminates at a speciality meat grill (parrilla). While dulce de leche and wine tastings suit all diets, the final dining experience is meat-focused. Contact the operator in advance to request vegetarian alternatives for the meal component.

How much wine do we taste, and is it included?

The tour includes tastings of two Argentine wines—Malbec and Torrontés—paired with a cheese board at Tierras Mendocinas. Quantities are tasting portions, not full glasses; the experience is educational rather than a drinking-focused event.

What is dulce de leche, and why visit a dedicated producer?

Dulce de leche is a beloved Argentine caramel-like spread made from sweetened milk. This is Argentina's only house entirely dedicated to its production, offering heritage varieties, transparent production processes, and purchase opportunities unavailable in standard stores—a uniquely immersive cultural experience.

Is this tour accessible for those with limited mobility?

The itinerary involves walking through a historic market and multiple venue changes over five hours. Mercado de San Telmo retains its original 1897 structure, which may include uneven flooring or narrow passages. Confirm accessibility requirements with the operator before booking.

What's the group size, and are reservations necessary?

Luxury food tours typically operate in small groups (exact maximum not specified). Given the intimate nature and price point (from €196), advance reservation is essential and likely required.

About this activity

Immerse yourself in Buenos Aires' food culture across five hours exploring San Telmo's culinary landmarks, from a heritage dulce de leche producer to a 19th-century market and award-winning parrilla. This curated gastronomic journey captures Argentina's authentic flavours through tastings, local wines, and traditional grilled meats.

This tour is the best option to discover our gastronomic culture and live a unique experience.

We visit the only house in Argentina dedicated to Dulce de leche, where different varieties are tasted, know their history, and production processes, and can buy the one you like.

Then, the tour continues through the traditional Mercado de San Telmo, inaugurated in February 1897 and today retains its original internal structure. There is a tasting of typical Argentine wines (Malbec and Torrontés), accompanied by a cheese board in the famous Tierras Mendocinas wine cellar.

The tour finishes eating in El Revire Brasas Bravas, a grill specializing in roasted meat.

our host Marco sorted everything for us and a glass of the local red was the highlight, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and rolled home properly stuffed.

Is okay only. a glass of the local red was nice but feel rush, and Jonas the host hard to hear sometimes. The food tour in Paris was more better.

our host Marco sorted everything for us and a glass of the local red was the highlight. Did it on our first morning so it wasnt too busy. Great if youre not super fit, and rolled home properly stuffed, and tried about 8 dishes. Would book again no question, no joke
