Why Choose a Cooking Class + Tango Experience in Buenos Aires?
This experience is designed for travelers who want more than a show or a restaurant dinner. A private Argentine cooking class and tango lesson in Buenos Aires brings together two of the country’s most iconic traditions in one relaxed evening: hands-on cooking, Argentine wine, a homemade dinner, and a private tango lesson.
You don’t need any previous cooking or dance experience — the tango lesson, cooking pace, and conversation are all adapted to your group. That makes it especially suitable for couples, families, friends, and small private groups looking for a personal, unhurried way to connect with Argentine culture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any dance experience for the tango lesson?
Not at all. The tango lesson is adapted to your level, whether you have never danced before or already know the basics. Most guests are complete beginners.
What happens first — the tango lesson or the cooking class?
The evening starts with the private tango lesson, then moves into the kitchen for the hands-on cooking class, followed by dinner with local wines.
How is this different from the cooking class on its own?
This experience adds a full hour of private tango instruction before the cooking class, making it a longer evening of approximately 4.5 hours. If you would rather focus on food only, Cooking Class + Dinner lasts approximately 3–3.5 hours.
Is the tango lesson private, or shared with other groups?
Completely private — just like the cooking class, it is designed only for your group.
How do we check availability and price?
Send Chef Saul your preferred date, group size and any dietary requirements. He will confirm availability, the full schedule, menu options and pricing before you book. Ask about your date on WhatsApp or write to Chef Saul by email.
What Guests Say
“Saul was a wonderful host, and Laura was a wonderful teacher! We had an incredible time learning tango — I had never done it before — and cooking and eating with Saul. Easily one of our most memorable experiences in Argentina. Saul handled my dietary restrictions with ease and was an absolute blast to talk to. 10/10 would recommend!”
— Connor R. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“The tango instructor was so patient and kind — we’re not natural dancers, but we advanced more than expected and had a blast. The cooking class with Saul was even more wonderful. His passion for teaching really shone through. The empanadas were the best we’ve ever had, the beef was tender, the potatoes crispy, and the homemade ice cream was easy and delicious. Highly recommend!”
— Jayme D., Rockford, Illinois ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“What an incredible experience! Learning tango and later going to a milonga was amazing — we got to see the steps we learned actually being used. The cooking class with Saul was one of the best things we did in Buenos Aires. The class is super interactive and Saul is an incredible host and teacher. Highly recommend as a truly unique experience.”
— Rose G. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
