A FAMILY TRADITION: THE ASADO LUNCH
In an event which can only be loosely described as a barbecue, you’ll sample meat from animals bred on the estancia, fed only on the extensive pastures of Argentina’s rich soil where they roam freely. The asado is an art, whose secrets are the finest home-grown meat cooked very slowly over a fire of wood from the estate. All our guests seem to agree – though they come from places all over the world - they’ve never tasted meat so exquisitely tasty and tender.
For lunch, we put tables covered in antique table cloths right next to the asado grill, so that you can join in this criollo or native Argentine ritual. Before getting down to the serious steaks, or lamb, we’ll start with the delicious sausages or homemade empanadas – the fine pastry and meat parcels which are a staple of Argentine food. You’ll sample superb wines from Argentina’s Mendoza province, and of course vegetarians can also be catered for.
