Think you know your Malbec? This wine-tasting 101 session hosted by a true connoisseur will make sure. You’ll begin at an art gallery in trendy Palermo Hollywood, to share a glass with your fellow guests and get a fascinating introduction to Argentine culture. Next it’s on to a hidden cellar where you’ll learn about the history and traditions of Argentine wine production, every step of the way from vine cultivation to bottling. Malbec grapes were brought over from France in the 19th century and are now a staple of Argentine viniculture.
Of course, there will be plenty of tastings - for research purposes only you understand - and these will be accompanied by a selection of tasty tapas. You’ll try different types of Malbec from around the country, and discover how to drink like the locals. To finish your Buenos Aires gift experience on a high note, your host will show you to one of Palermo’s finest bars, where you can share a toast with a glass of fernet. This bitter digestif is one of Argentina's most popular drinks, and a perfect way to get the rest of your evening underway. Salud!
