Eating like a local is an important aspect of getting an accurate look at a culture. In the morning, you’ll be transferred to Uco Valley and arrive at Clos de Los Siete. Once there, you will head to DiamAndes Winery. DiamAndes is part of the Clos de Siete. Clos de los Siete is the result of a venture undertaken by a group of French winegrowers. It is located at the foot of the Andes mountain range, in the heart of the Uco Valley, in the district of Vista Flores, Tunuyán. Their vineyards spread across 850 hectares at an altitude of 1,000-1,200 metres above sea level.

In 2005, the Bonnie family, owner of many renowned Châteaus, decided to leave France in search of new horizons in the world of wine. It all began with the acquisition, along with their partners, of a single 130-hectare block of land in the heart of the Uco Valley, to the south of the city of Mendoza. That is where DiamAndes was born, as a member of the prestigious Clos de los Siete group.

The winery’s architectural design blends harmoniously into the stunning Andean scenery. The name DiamAndes is a pun on the words “diamante” (Spanish for “diamond”) and “Andes” (the name of the mountains that provide a background to the estate). Alfred-Alexandre Bonnie came up with it one day as he was enjoying a barbecue at Laguna del Diamante, in Mendoza. The reflection of the Maipo volcano on the lake made him associate the two words.

Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed with a glass of wine and a tour through the winery. After a short introduction about the winery, the Bonnie family and all the history of this place. After the visit, you will be introduced to the recognised Chef Santiago Orozco, who with his natural charm will accompany you in this cooking class experience, you will prepare a traditional menu: barbecue and grill food, empanadas and dessert, you also will receive a recipe book from the prepared menu and a souvenir apron. You’ll enjoy a five-step lunch paired with excellent wines from the winery. Later, you’ll return to the hotel.

Address: Buenos Aires, Argentina

You will visit Plaza de Mayo, the city’s foundational site and witness of the country’s political history. There you’ll find the Pink House, the Presidential Palace, the Cabildo, the primitive town hall, and the Neoclassical-style Metropolitan Cathedral, the final home of Argentina’s founding father, José de San Martín.

You’ll then head for San Telmo, one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Buenos Aires. It used to be the residential
district favoured by the upper class until the late 19th century when a yellow fever epidemic caused the wealthier families to leave northwards. The area was marginalised until the 1970s when many artists and artisans came to San Telmo to install their workshops. Nowadays, thanks to its amazing architecture and hip atmosphere, this ancient neighbourhood is really blooming.

You’ll walk its cobbled streets, where the city’s colonial past seems to come back to life, making a stop at Plaza Dorrego, best known for its traditional antiques fair, held every Sunday, along with the local Market.

Leaving San Telmo behind, you will continue southwards to La Boca, one of the city’s most authentic and charming neighbourhoods. It is a working-class district, heavily shaped by Italian immigrants who came to our country in large numbers during the last quarter of the 19th century. Here, you’ll make a special visit to the mythical Caminito Street, which sums up everything that gives La Boca its distinctive spirit: the strong passion for soccer, the heavy presence of art and colour, and the Tango-esque atmosphere.

Finally, you’ll pass through Puerto Madero, the latest addition to the city’s barrios. In 1991, its huge warehouses and silos were remodelled and redesigned, to finally integrate the river into the city and to create a new corporative, residential, hotel and gastronomically district, which has become the playground for the pretty Porteños and the international jet-set.

Located inside the exclusive Hotel Faena, Rojo Tango is the best way to see the most luxuriant and exclusive tango show in Buenos Aires.

The cabaret lounge was created by the revolutionary French designer Philippe Starck, and it now hosts a dynamic, sensual and intense tango show. Before the show, you’ll enjoy a delicious three-course meal with both traditional and international dishes, giving you the chance to enjoy the taste, music and passion of Argentina all in one night.

The show itself takes you on a journey through the history of the tango, from its roots in Porteño streets to the
internationally famous show tango we see today. With artists onstage exuding Argentine passion and elegance, this show is not to be missed.
