The flagship experience
More than a cooking class
A few hours to cook, eat, drink and experience Chile with the people who live here. The recipes are the starting point; the experience is the table, the stories and the connection.
Cook it yourself

Food with a story
Discover the traditions, ingredients and everyday culture behind some of Chile's most iconic dishes.
Wine & conversation
Enjoy Chilean wine while sharing the table, stories and conversation with your local hosts.
Small by design
Personal attention, room to participate and enough time to actually talk, cook and enjoy the experience.
From your door and back
Private pickup and return are included. No taxis, meeting points or logistics to arrange.
“This was one of the great travel experiences we've ever had… more intriguing conversations than any cruise ship excursion. Plus, the food was stellar!”

Beyond sightseeing
A different way to experience Punta Arenas
Patagonia is usually experienced through landscapes. We invite you to experience it around the table — cooking in a local home, discovering Chilean traditions and sharing food and wine with the people who live at the end of the world.
After the table
Take a little Chile home with you
Keep cooking Chilean food at home with our recipe book and interactive cooking passport.
