We will experience the gastronomic and cultural essence of Palermo, one of Buenos Aires' most vibrant neighborhoods. The traditional Palermo tour has been revamped and renamed the Local Bites Palermo Tour, featuring a new itinerary designed to introduce visitors to the most everyday and authentic flavors of Buenos Aires. Through gastronomy, the experience invites you to enjoy a full day in the life of an Argentine: we begin at a bakery with the classic breakfast or afternoon snack of medialunas and chipá; we continue by discovering the hearty, homemade cuisine of a traditional bodegón porteño; and we finally arrive at the table of the Argentine asado, one of Argentina's quintessential culinary rituals. The tour concludes with a classic sweet treat to complete the experience. For approximately 3 and a half hours, guests will taste more than 10 dishes, with alcoholic beverages included at one of the stops, in addition to non-alcoholic drinks.

Magic in the land of Malbec; let's experience floral aromas, violets, red fruit, and fresh spices. Guided by expert guides, we will visit the wineries where the best Argentine wines are born: • Benegas Winery is located in Luján de Cuyo, in a building from 1901 that was constructed by the governor of Mendoza, Agustín Álvarez. Federico Benegas Lynch bought this winery in 1999 and it took him five years to restore it, preserving its original design with adobe walls and cement vats, while incorporating new temperature control technology. • On the southern bank of the Mendoza River, you'll find Matervini Winery, which was founded in 2008. Starting with the same grape variety, the grapes from different terroirs produce wines with absolutely different characteristics. It's a journey from traditional soils to unexplored ones, from younger to older, and non-alluvial soils. Matervini is the search for the unknown, the new in the old. • The pairing of Malbec and Argentine gastronomy comes to life at Finca Decero Winery. This is the result of the extraordinary vision of its owner, Swiss entrepreneur Mr. Thomas Schmidheiny, who discovered the unparalleled potential of the Agrelo region in Mendoza to create a unique and sophisticated winery surrounded by its own vineyards, which he named Remolinos. (On Tuesdays, this winery is closed to tourism and is replaced by another one.)
