Top 9 Food & Drink in San Telmo, Capital Federal District
The birthplace of the tango is, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are rife with romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife, and Buenos Aires' European heritage is evident in its architecture, boulevards and parks. Cafe Tortoni, the city's oldest bar, will transport you back to 1858, and the spectacular Teatro Colon impresses just as it did in 1908. Latin America's shopping capital offers the promise of premium retail therapy along its grand, wide boulevards.

The tunnel is an old cellar located in San Telmo, historic area of the city of Buenos Aires.

We are a warm and cozy space specially designed to live an experience through the senses. We have an exclusive tasting room and a boutique wine store with a selection of labels focused on special vineyards, small productions and signature wines. We are located in the heart of San Telmo, the historic center of Buenos Aires, a few meters from the traditional Market, where the largest cultural and gastronomic offer in the city is concentrated. Our passion is to communicate wine, so in each tasting we cover different production areas, we taste different styles, discovering and comparing their characteristics. The main objective is that our guests take new knowledge and live a unique experience.

It is a fabulous way to spend and hour or two in this simple and elegant wine shop. Yamila, the owner of the shop and a sommelier introduced us to the wines of Argentina, the north, south and central regions/provinces. Its a place not only to buy wine for drinking at home and for gifts confident hat Yamila’s knowledge would ensure the right wine is selected. I know that if I lived in Buenos Aires this would be a place that I would be buying my wines.

We stopped into this wine shop as we were staying nearby to inquire about a wine tasting. We were told that the English speaking person would be available the next day, so we popped in mid-day the next day and asked for a wine tasting in one hour's time. When we came back we were treated to a beautiful setup and such warm hospitality. We got a standard and a reserve tasting so that we could try the most possible. After a short and really informative video about Argentinian wines, Jesus gave us much more information using a map and explaining each of the wines we were tasting. He has an obvious passion for wine and was able to answer all of our questions and engage in a really enlightening discussion around the wine. We wanted to learn a lot so this is exactly what we were looking for! The wines we tasted were a really broad range of varietals and regions, so it was super informative and really opened our eyes to quality Argentinian wines. The tasting was not rushed at all, we were able to leisurely enjoy everything, and they brought out some cheeses for us as well. We came back at the end of our second week to buy several bottles to take home and the young lady who helped us was super friendly, professional and helpful. They had the bubble wrapped wine shaped bags for purchase, which were perfect for packing in our suitcase. We easily brought home to the USA 7 bottles in our checked luggage with no issues and no customs charges (we told them we were bringing in several bottles). All in all, HIGHLY recommend Tierra Mendocina for a formal tasting, for trying some wines by the glass (they have a charming patio out front), and for buying wine to drink or take home. Just keep in mind that if you want an English tasting,you may need to stop in the day before or have your hotel call and ensure it's possible.

In the mythical neighborhood of San Telmo you will have the possibility of taking a class of authentic Argentinian barbecue. Then eat the ASADO(typical argentinian barbecue) that you did at the same time to taste wines from the three main wine producing provinces in Argentina and finally taste Dry Age meat.
