It was...stimulating 🤯
I had the place to myself basically. Michaela was my host and a great teacher. There was a lot of history, culture. and protocol to absorb. She was able to answer my questions, walk me through the process of brewing a proper mate cup of yerba, and how to share a brew with your friends and family. I was tired when I started and left wires as hell. Great experience.

Underwhelming but ok
Overall we got to experience mate, but the experience was only 45 minutes and we did not get to try as many options as it described. For the price being higher than other mate experiences, I expected it to be longer and more in depth. We got to try 3 types but only because my partner and I each chose a different second type and shared.

Everything you need to...

Don't assume you know
If you have never had or do not know what Mate is in the Argentinian culture, this class is for you. I was able to learn how to prepare a Mate pot correctly and understand the social "norms" around sharing one. It is not as straightforward as you might think! Thank you for a wonderful class.

Fantastic
We really enjoyed this experience. I had read a lot about Mate and it is not really something that you can just walk into a cafe and get. We got insight into the history, different blends, how to check for quality and freshness, how to prepare, and the etiquette of how it gets served. Our friend knew nothing about mate and also really enjoyed the experience. I'm a convert and will be confusing colleagues while I fix mate during meetings.

Why this scores 63

Buenos Aires: Discover Mate - Masterclass with Argentine Pastry: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Buenos Aires: Discover Mate - Masterclass with Argentine Pastry cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 Buenos Aires: Discover Mate - Masterclass with Argentine Pastry take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Buenos Aires: Discover Mate - Masterclass with Argentine Pastry worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 27 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 Buenos Aires: Discover Mate - Masterclass with Argentine Pastry?
+
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 Buenos Aires: Discover Mate - Masterclass with Argentine Pastry suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Buenos Aires: Discover Mate - Masterclass with Argentine Pastry?
+
Around 9 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Buenos Aires: Discover Mate - Masterclass with Argentine Pastry 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 languages is Buenos Aires: Discover Mate - Masterclass with Argentine Pastry offered in?
+

+
