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.
