Not what we expected
Unfortunately this experience fell well short of our expectations, That said, our host was very pleasant and did her best to make it a positive experience for us. The room where we prepared the empanadas was not designed for food preparation. The small tables were wobbly (making it difficult to chop vegetable and meat), there was a hot plate in the corner of the room, and their reception desk was also in the room. There was a bathroom down the hall were we could wash our hands in between handling meat and veggies. We felt rushed through the wine "tastings". We have participated in many cooking classes in our travels, but this one was a disappointment.

Amazing Empanadas and Malbec wine
An incredible experience! The instructor, Valentín, was super friendly and attentive throughout the entire class. The assistant was excellent, and everything was explained in a fun and relaxed way. The empanadas were absolutely delicious, and the wine was the perfect pairing. I highly recommend this experience!

We loved the small group...
We loved the small group cooking class. Everything was well planned and delicious. The meats and cheeses served with three wine selections were also nice. We learned about the different folds on the empanada that identify the ingredients and left with the recipes. Great time had by all!

We had the best time...
We had the best time making delicious empanadas and trying three different Argentinian wines, along with some cheese and salami. Ines was so knowledgeable and kind and we would recommend this experience to everyone !

BA: Premium Empanadas Cooking Class & Wine Tasting in Palermo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does BA: Premium Empanadas Cooking Class & Wine Tasting 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 Cooking Class & Wine Tasting 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 Cooking Class & Wine Tasting in Palermo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 53 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 Cooking Class & Wine Tasting in Palermo?
+

Is BA: Premium Empanadas Cooking Class & Wine Tasting 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 Cooking Class & Wine Tasting in Palermo?
+
Around 19 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 Cooking Class & Wine Tasting in Palermo start and how do I get there?

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?
+
