Experience Asado
Features
Argentinian barbecue, known as "asado," is a culinary tradition deeply rooted in Argentine culture. Asado is much more than just a meal – it is a social event that brings family and friends together to enjoy the art of grilling and the pleasure of sharing delicious food with good company.
At midday, they add meat - Tira de Asado, Vacío, Cuadril & Chorizos/Morzilla then slow cook all afternoon. Patience and experience are key for a good barbecue. The key to great asado is the fire, and Argentines take great pride in their wood-burning parrilla (grills). As the flames grow, so too does the anticipation of a good meal.
Once the meat has reached its peak flavor, it's time for plating! Traditional sides such as potatoes, salads, breads and chimich urri accompany the delicious cuts of meat to complete the asado. They invite everyone to join in - to savor the food, talk about life and enjoy each other’s company over a glass of wine or two.

As a wine and food lover I travel every year with a group of five to top wine destinations around the world. In most cases we plan our own trip but in our Argentina and Chile wine trip the logistics were overwhelming. Where to go, travel time, reservations, guides and transport are almost impossible to figure out. Into the Vineyards put our trip together perfectly. They took what we knew and wanted and connected us to all the right spots. From the top vineyards and wineries to off the beaten path little jewels. We were set up with private tastings and gourmet lunches and dinners everywhere we went. The local contacts were knowledgeable and fun to be with. In the end we saved money as well with all of their resources. I will for sure use them again on my next trip to Burgundy.

We wanted to share what a great experience we had on our trip to Argentina and Chile thanks to the great trip plan and coordination done by Into the Vineyard. Their network in Argentina and Chile is very good and the message of the type of tour my husband and I wanted to experience was well received. We experienced more than we could have dreamed up! Our guide in Mendoza read our tour profile and took the tour himself even though it had been assigned to his partner. Eduardo Soler is a wine maker himself and recently obtained his Sommelier certificate! Eduardo knew just the boutique wineries and vineyards to show us so that we obtained a great education on various techniques of wine making that my husband will be able to apply!

We had a family event in Brazil and Paulo helped us plan some post-wedding exploring in Brazil (Iguazu) and Argentina (Buenos Aires and Mendoza). There were a lot of moving parts -- not everyone had the vacation time for the whole trip, so at each step more people had to peel off. Paulo deftly handled the arrangements (internal flights & transportation, hotels, guides). The real test came when a group member had a medical emergency. His team stepped right up, rescheduling flights, cancelling tours and dinners, etc., as needed. It was very helpful to have someone handle all that (everything is fine now BTW). They even helped gather information for our travel insurance claim. We were prepared to recommend them before the trip interruption; afterward we give more than 5 stars were that an option.

I am so impressed with the team at Into the Vineyard! Due to some Covid travel restrictions, our trip was interrupted as soon as we arrived in Chile. We were able to get the team on the phone, pivot, and reroute for a wine tour in Argentina in just a few hours. Several days later, we received approval to return to Chile, and the team rearranged all our travel on the spot. What could’ve been a terrible situation turned into the best adventure!
On our third trip organized by our friends at Into the Vineyard and what can I say but they have helped us with another amazing experience. Whether it was our tour of Argentina, Italy or now these two amazing countries they consistently deliver an experience that gives us a local flavor and wanting more! Always courteous and conscious of our needs and the time we have, I don’t know how they are able to help us experience so much.

Our 10-day adventure was filled with many memorable moments including the International Malbec wine festival in Mendoza...parades, food, wine tastings and very interesting historical sites.that made the time go by way too quickly. Private transportation, knowledgeable and personable private tour guides. A combination that is hard to beat.
