BUENOS AIRES: FROM TASTING MENUS TO TANGO

Begin your journey in Argentina’s cosmopolitan capital, where food bursts with flavor and the night pulses with the rhythm of tango. Immerse yourself in the city’s rich culinary scene as you embark on a private tour of its finest local delicacies and dishes, handpicked by a chef. Discover the lesser-known restaurants that are loved by locals, and dine at the top tables in world-renowned restaurants, savoring bespoke tasting menus curated by acclaimed chefs. Take part in a series of intimate culinary workshops, learning regional recipes and cooking techniques, and indulge in a ceremonial mate tasting hosted by an expert cebador.

Connect to the city’s cultural soul through the art of tango, exploring the Abasto neighborhood with an experienced dancer and guide. Step into historic cafés for private shows and delight in an exclusive, one-of-a-kind masterclass with elite performers. The following day, visit a private estancia to delve into Argentina’s sporting heritage, learning about the thrilling game of horse polo. Meet the players, watch a match taking place or even saddle up to play alongside the true masters of the sport. Whether you are a curious beginner or an experienced rider, this experience is truly unique and unforgettable.

IGUAZU'S TREETOP TRANQUILITY

Board a private flight to the lush Atlantic rainforest, where your secluded treehouse lodge awaits. Lounge on your private terrace in the canopy, watching capuchin monkeys swinging through the trees. Early in the morning, venture into the verdant jungle with an expert guide, experiencing the wonders of the iconic Iguazú Falls before the crowds arrive. Gaze in wonder at the stunning scenes before you, navigating between each waterfall until you get to the heart of the action as you visit the Devil’s Throat, standing on a platform perfectly positioned right in the middle of the powerful 80-meter cascade.

Choose from a range of tailored activities on offer in either Argentina or Brazil, easily crossing the border formed between the countries by the Iguazu Falls themselves. Soar over the waterfalls in a helicopter, go trekking along the lesser-known jungle paths, and navigate the scenic rivers in a private boat. Delve into plant wisdom with a naturalist, paddle kayaks into hidden creeks, and swim in natural pools beneath cascading waterfalls. For a unique cultural encounter, spend an afternoon with the indigenous Guaraní tribe, learning about their jungle craft and spiritual worldview.

CAFAYATE'S CANYONS AND CULTIVATED WINES

Continue your journey in Argentina’s striking northwest, flying to Salta before embarking on a scenic drive through the Calchaquí Valleys to Cafayate, a region of surreal desert canyons and emerald vineyards. This high-altitude region is known for its fertile terroir and specialty Torrontés wine and can equally be enjoyed from above – with the option to hop aboard a helicopter for a seamless flight to your luxury estate, and the chance to admire the swathes of red rock formations from above.

Go behind the scenes of a working wine farm, where seasoned winemakers will guide you through the traditional Champenoise method used to produce Torrontés sparkling wine. Explore exclusive estates on horseback, identifying grape varieties, and taste aging wines from the barrel with an expert sommelier. Spend a morning playing a round of golf at one of Argentina’s best courses, La Estancia de Cafayate, enviably positioned amidst the vineyards and mountains. That evening, gather around an open fire for a traditional Argentine abasto, savoring the region’s finest meats and seasonal produce with private chefs and sommeliers on hand to create the perfect pairings.

MENDOZA'S MALBECS, MASTERCHEFS AND MOUNTAIN VISTAS

Your journey concludes in Mendoza, a magnificent wine region at the foot of the Andes Mountains and home to some of the Argentina’s most revered wineries. Here, your days are filled with long, leisurely lunches at boutique estates, olive oil tastings, and hikes or horseback rides through the Andes mountains, where the luxury of time and space can be keenly felt.

Stay in a private villa with sweeping views of the Andes and a wonderful wine-inspired spa, where trained therapists offer massages infused with grapeseed oil and antioxidant-rich red wine. Enjoy an exclusive “chef’s table experience” at the restaurant of celebrity chef Francis Mallman, renowned for his signature open-flame cooking style, and emphasis on rustic, bold flavors and connection to nature. Watch as Mallmann’s exceptional culinary team showcase his signature ‘seven fires’ technique, grilling charred meats and vegetables over flaming quebracho wood. These rich, smoky dishes truly showcase the flavors of this stunning region, capturing the essence of Argentina and ending your cultural and culinary discovery on a high.
