★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 80 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $89Our pick

Make empanadas, grill an Argentine asado, taste Mendoza wines, and share Fernet on a local rooftop with mountain views.

“From the moment I saw the opportunity to be hosted by a Mendocino local, I knew it was perfect for our family of four. Getting to know Fede was a delight. He has managed to create a unique, hands on Asado experience on his rooftop terrace. He is a crafter of wines and a magician with meat, not to mention dessert, which is not to be missed. From the moment we made the booking he was friendly and helpful. We hope, one day, to welcome him and his lovely family into our home.”

Learn the fire, empanadas, sauces, mate, and wine of Mendoza at Braseando, a private four-hour asado class with Andes views.

“A memorable evening. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our Asado evening with chef Augustin team. We were picked up from our hotel in central Mendoza on time. The drive took about 30 minutes. We were received warmly at Braseando Experience and spent the next few hours enjoying the Asado process: Argentine aperitif, comprehensive BBQ class, lots of talk and laughter as making empanadas, and enjoying excellent food, variety of meat, and wine selection. Of course, finishing off with Argentinian liqueur and dessert. The Asado process consumes the entire evening to midnight- time well spent. Be prepared for a late night meal.”

Some more guidance for steering and all that before we got on the horses would have been great but we really enjoyed it and the views of the mountains and vineyards were spectacular. Thank you so much Javier!”

Fish beneath Tupungato, then enjoy an Argentine asado and Andean wine on this private full-day Mendoza fly-fishing tour.

When calling the provided number I got an auto message that the number was not in service. Trip Advisor is refunding the fee but offered no explanation. Sur Outfitters seems to be out of business but had no problem charging my account on the day I booked a week ago. Stay away from Trip advisor and Sur Outfitters!”

Paulina and Augustin entertain with such warmth and attention to detail. We felt like family by the end of the dinner. We dined slowly over several courses watching Paulina prepare and cook traditional Asada cuisine. She and her partner Augustin took special care to explain the ritual and significance surrounding each offering. We tried many things we’d never eaten before, and everything was absolutely delicious. If you are looking to spend an evening immersed in true Argentina Asada culture, this is the experience is for you.”
