    Such a fun morning 😊

    Such a fun way to spend a morning! Flower was very informative and made the experience fun. It was lovely to hear how families cook, eat and drink mate. Felt like we were cooking with a family member, thank you x

    great cooking class

    the empanadas were absolutely delicious and the teacher and helper were both really nice and friendly. I loved learning how to make them, and I’m definitely going to try making empanadas on my own back home

    Learn to Make Authentic Empanadas and Alfajores

    Valentin, was a fantastic instructor for our empanadas and alfajores cooking class. He was very patient and everything was well prepared. We learnt a great deal and feel confident to try the recipes at home. Valentin talked to us about the different empanadas from the different regions in Argentina.

    Good experience but with a foolish rule

    The experience was good. The food was good and the chef was great. The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars (and considering lowering it to 2) is because at the end of the class they tell you that you can't take home what you prepared, which in theory is yours because you paid for it. You have to eat everything there, or throw it away. I had similar experiences, and you can always take home what you prepare.

    Response from the operator: Hello, Javier. Good afternoon. We’re sorry you were dissatisfied at the end of the class. What you’re paying for is the experience of cooking with a local, hearing stories typical of Argentina, and being guided in learning how we cook here. We don’t provide containers for taking the food home because our goal is for you to take home a wonderful memory—regardless of whether or not you take the food you cooked with you.

    BA: Premium Empanadas & Alfajores Cooking Experience in Palermo: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.

    How much does BA: Premium Empanadas & Alfajores Cooking Experience in Palermo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $43 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Buenos Aires usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does BA: Premium Empanadas & Alfajores Cooking Experience in Palermo take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Buenos Aires is not rushed.

    Is BA: Premium Empanadas & Alfajores Cooking Experience in Palermo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Buenos Aires, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule BA: Premium Empanadas & Alfajores Cooking Experience in Palermo?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is BA: Premium Empanadas & Alfajores Cooking Experience in Palermo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book BA: Premium Empanadas & Alfajores Cooking Experience in Palermo?

    +

    Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Buenos Aires can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Buenos Aires and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does BA: Premium Empanadas & Alfajores Cooking Experience in Palermo start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Buenos Aires within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Buenos Aires?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Buenos Aires experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Argentine Cooking, Wine & Beef Tasting at Argentine Experience, Historical Sherpa Food Tour of San Telmo with Street Food, Drinks, Cooking Class with Empanadas Steak & Flan by Argentine Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Buenos Aires?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Buenos Aires?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in BA: Premium Empanadas & Alfajores Cooking Experience in Palermo?

    +

    Included: Mate tea; Ingredients & tools; Empanadas & alfajores making class; Professional local host; and Dulce de Leche Tasting Session. Not included: Gratuities (optional); and Transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for BA: Premium Empanadas & Alfajores Cooking Experience in Palermo?
