Culinary Tour Of Puerto Madryn

OVERVIEW

Sample a variety of Argentine foods and wine at several venues known for their locally sourced products. You will first visit a processing center where various Argentine teas are blended and packaged for sale. After an eye-opening tour, you will sample a cup of tea thoughtfully paired with local snacks. You will also be treated to a tasting at Chacra B&G, an agricultural enterprise that grows fruits, vegetables and nuts, especially almonds. A tour of the property will provide great insight into the types of ingredients found in the local cuisine. Nearby Finca Caballo Blanco winery is known for its natural, dry-farming techniques that enhance the terroir and intensity of the grapes.
