    Great experience

    We really enjoyed the mate painting class with Jazmin! She is super nice and also a very talented artist! It was very informative and we learned a lot about the history of mate. The pastries were delicious and the mate painting activity was so fun! Would definitely recommend as a fun and interesting activity to do with friends or family in Buenos Aires!

    Would come back again

    Had a wonderful time. The host was a joy to work with. Very informative. Most importantly, she was very patient with us non-artists as we worked through our masterpieces.

    Jazz was great! We had a excellent time learning about mate and painting our mate cups! Mahalo for teaching us about Argentine culture.

    So much fun!

    We had a great time at this experience with Jaz! Jaz was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned about mate and were able to taste it. My favorite part was painting the cups! Jaz has recommendations for what to paint, but is also very encouraging if you want to paint your own thing. I love that we have something to take home from the experience, and it isn't big so it will pack well!

    Nice experience

    Jazmin’s mate tasting and paint workshop has a really nice, authentic atmosphere. The focus on one mate makes the experience feel intentional and unrushed, with enough context to understand the ritual properly. The painting part is relaxed and welcoming, gives you space to enjoy the process. Jazmin creates a warm, genuine environment that makes you feel comfortable from the start. You leave feeling calm, inspired, and with a personal piece you actually enjoyed creating.

    Mate and paint experience with pastry tasting in Buenos Aires: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Mate and paint experience with pastry tasting in Buenos Aires cost?

    +

    Prices start at $62 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 Mate and paint experience with pastry tasting in Buenos Aires take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Mate and paint experience with pastry tasting in Buenos Aires worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 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 Mate and paint experience with pastry tasting in Buenos Aires?

    +

    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 Mate and paint experience with pastry tasting in Buenos Aires suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mate and paint experience with pastry tasting in Buenos Aires?

    +

    Around 7 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mate and paint experience with pastry tasting in Buenos Aires 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 Mate and paint experience with pastry tasting in Buenos Aires?

    +

    Included: Tea and coffee; Argentinian pastries (Facturas, biscochitos, etc); Mate tasting; 1 bombilla; and 1 wooden mate cup per participant. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    You can reach the meeting point by metro line E or C, Independencia stop. We will meet at the corner of the bar called Bonnie and Clyde. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
