Flavours of Uco county

We leave the city of Mendoza very early in the morning to visit La Alejandra ranch, located at the foot of the Andes, more than 1,900 meters above sea level. Once there, we will enjoy a delicious breakfast especially served on the farm.

Later, the local chef will explain the characteristics, methods and main ingredients of regional cuisine. It will also present all the instructions and secrets for cooking your own lunch, which will include typical preparations such as empanadas (from the dough, the filling, to the characteristic stamp called "repulgue"); rustic bread; the authentic Argentine barbecue (how to season the meat, level of fire, appropriate cuts of meat, etc.); chimichurri to accompany the roast and finally homemade “flan”that will be served with the most delicious “dulce de leche”. While we learn and apply the different cooking techniques, we will delight ourselves tasting delicious wines with sandwiches in the waiting time of each preparation.

At the end of all the recipes, it is time to taste the delicacies that were prepared together with the harmonization of a wine that will further elevate lunch.

Later, we will take a walk in the place, enjoying the nature that accompanies this activity and we will enjoy all the details of this beautiful site decorated in country style.
