★★★★★ One of the Most Fun Evenings of Our Trip!
If you're visiting Cusco, don't miss this experience!
We had an absolute blast from beginning to end. Learning about pisco, crafting traditional Peruvian cocktails, and enjoying them together made for one of the most fun and memorable evenings of our trip.
The true star of the experience, however, was our lead chef, Elvira. She was absolutely wonderful—warm, engaging, hilarious, and incredibly talented. Her energy was contagious, and she created an atmosphere where everyone felt welcome, relax...read more

An outstanding tasting experience.
Our host Christina was really special. There was a small scheduling issue with Viator, but Christina game my daughter and me a private tasting experience. She was very knowledgeable and adept. I'm a fairly confident home bar-tender, but pretty ignorant about the varieties of pisco. Not only did we learn a lot, but our host was gracious enough to entertain my suggestions. There was a large collection of pisco infusions to use in our drinks and we took advantage. Highly recommended.

So much more than a cocktail class
My wife and I did the pisco sour class at Marcelo Batata and it ended up being one of our favorite things in Cusco. Small, intimate group — we tasted different varieties of pisco, learned the history behind it, and made a couple of cocktails ourselves.
What made it special was our instructor. It felt less like a class and more like hanging out with a longtime friend who also happened to give us a real glimpse into life in Peru. Nothing touristy or scripted about it.
Only complaint: I wish it wer...read more

Pisco Tasting
We had a great evening with Fernando. He not only gave us an interesting review of the history of Pisco, but he also taught us how to make two of Peru’s signature drinks: Pisco sour and Chilcano. We also got to taste different Pisco types, and learn their difference between them. Drinks were accompanied by tasty snacks and great conversation. I can’t recommend this experience enough.

Tasting Experience is a great introduction to Peruvian cuisine and a culinary delight!
This Peruvian cooking experience was great. José has a wonderfully dynamic way of letting you taste the different fruits of Peru to show the geography and history of Peru. The explanation and production of Ceviche or Lomo saltado was so didactically well done that I will try to make it myself at home. Finally, a great introduction to the different flavors of pisco with the production of pisco sour.
All in all a great experience and very nice that 20% of the proceeds of these courses go to a Per...read more
