What You’ll Experience

Dive into the ultimate mate experience — Argentina’s most iconic infusion. Step into our Mate Bar, styled like a traditional pulpería, complete with rustic gaucho touches that transport you straight to the Argentine countryside. Led by passionate mate experts, you’ll learn every step of this time-honored ritual: how to choose a premium yerba mate (organic, pesticide-free, and aged for two years), cure your gourd, pour like a local, and share the round. You’ll sample different styles — from the classic bitter mate to sweet mate, cocido, and the refreshing tereré — all while discovering the stories, symbols, and cultural meaning that turn mate into a true social ritual. To take it to the next level, each brew is paired with artisanal pastries from La Mantequería, and you’ll even make your own handcrafted alfajores filled with creamy dulce de leche. Between sips, traditional Argentine music sets the mood — and you’ll have the chance to take home one-of-a-kind souvenirs: carved gourds, bombillas, or our premium yerba blend, so the ritual stays with you wherever you go. More than a workshop, this is a cultural deep dive into Argentina’s history, flavors, and identity. Sip a Mate!
