Description

Good to Know

This experience blends the best of Brazilian culture—cuisine, cocktails, and dance—into one unforgettable activity. Unlike a typical cooking class, here you’ll not only learn to prepare a traditional moqueca from scratch, but also shake up three different flavors of caipirinhas and learn the joyful moves of samba in a fun, relaxed setting. What makes this activity truly unique is the energy, warmth, and rhythm of Brazil, shared in an authentic, interactive way. You’re not just observing—you’re fully immersed: tasting, dancing, laughing, and connecting with fellow travelers and locals alike. From the tropical aromas of the kitchen to the beats of samba and the cheers over your handmade cocktails, this is a multisensory journey into the heart of Brazilian culture—served with joy and a personal touch you won’t find anywhere else.

Discover the flavors and rhythms of Brazil in this unforgettable cooking, cocktail, and dance experience in Rio de Janeiro! You'll start by learning to make not one, but three different flavors of Brazil’s most iconic cocktail—the caipirinha. Using fresh fruits, lime, sugar, and cachaça, you'll shake and sip your way through the perfect tropical combinations. Next, step into the kitchen to prepare a traditional moqueca, a delicious Brazilian fish stew made with coconut milk, peppers, herbs, and dendê oil. We guide you step-by-step as you create this rich, colorful dish from scratch. While the moqueca simmers, the energy shifts and the samba begins! Don’t worry if you’ve never danced before—we’ll teach you the basic moves in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. It’s all about feeling the rhythm and having fun. After dancing, you’ll sit down to enjoy your moqueca with your caipirinha in hand—surrounded by great people, good music, and an unforgettable cultural experience. Perfect for food lovers, culture seekers, solo travelers, couples, and groups.

Unforgettable experience in Rio de Janeiro!

I loved the experience! Hostess Renata welcomed us with great joy and sympathy! In class, we learned how to make 3 delicious caipirinhas with Brazilian fruits and a wonderful moqueca! Added to the experience, we had an amazing samba class with a passist dressed like at the carnival. It was amazing, lively and very fun! I loved it!

Uma experiência incrível feita com maestria pela Renata e sua equipe maravilhosa, onde tivemos a oportunidade de experimentar os sabores do Brasil com uma deliciosa moqueca de peixe e também de fazer nossa própria caipirinha… shake shake shake shake! Jajajaja Além disso, vivenciamos uma aula de samba com uma passista que contagiou o ambiente com sua danca

Best experience in Rio!

This Brazilian cooking class was one of the best experiences I had in Rio!
