In the morning, we will pick you up to enjoy a full gastronomic experience at Finca Bandini, where Mendoza’s cuisine is presented through a contemporary lens while honoring its roots. Throughout the experience, the resident chef will prepare traditional recipes step by step—such as tomaticán cuyano and the house-made sopaipillas—sharing techniques, stories, and insights that reflect the region’s identity, while you naturally engage in different moments of the process.

Then, you’ll get hands-on with the classic folding technique of Mendoza-style empanadas, exploring their differences and comparing results in a relaxed and engaging atmosphere.

What do you need for this tour?

Essential items

We suggest you to bring these items for personal use to make your excursion perfect:

Small backpack.
Extra mineral water.
Personal care items (lip balm with sunscreen, sunscreen, antibacterial gel/wipes, insect repellent).
Special clothing: comfortable clothing appropriate to the weather forecast and footwear suitable for the activity.

Safety tips: Inform the guide or driver about any illness, allergy or physical restriction. Remember to bring your medication and administration instructions.

Note: The best clothing for mountain activities is wool or synthetic materials in layers, as they dry quickly and keep warmth better. We suggest a base layer, then an intermediate layer, such as a light fleece coat or similar, and then a windproof and waterproof layer.
