Make Argentine Asado in Mendoza: Rooftop grilling with wineMake an Argentine asado—the traditional wood-fired grilling method—at a local host's rooftop terrace in Mendoza, learning to prepare empanadas while meat cooks over coals and wines are tasted between courses. The experience runs four hours, includes chorizo, morcilla, matambre and beef, and ends with a Fernet and Coke toast. A veggie option is available on request.Is it for me?The guide speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and one more language, so you follow the cooking and stories in whichever one you speak. Book this if you want to learn the asado method hands-on rather than watch it happen, and if a small rooftop gathering with other travelers suits you better than a restaurant table.
