Super expérience à San Telmo! Nos guides étaient passionnés et les goûts authentiques. On a dégusté des empanadas à tomber par terre et un asado mémorable. Le vin? Sublime! Tous les arrêts étaient bien choisis, on a même découvert des marchés locaux. Parfait pour rencontrer d'autres gourmets et s'imprégner de la culture culinaire argentine. Je recommande à 100%!
