Learn about mate, our traditional infused herbal drink, while you paint one of them. This unique experience will teach you about the culture of mate and its symbolism for us, mix with an artistic activity which will be painting your own mate cup and a traditional pastry tasting. After 3 hours of creativity you will take home your mate cup painted by yourself, new knowledge about our culture, full stomach and why not, some new friends.
We really enjoyed the mate painting class with Jazmin! She is super nice and also a very talented artist! It was very informative and we learned a lot about the history of mate. The pastries were delicious and the mate painting activity was so fun! Would definitely recommend as a fun and interesting activity to do with friends or family in Buenos Aires!
Had a wonderful time. The host was a joy to work with. Very informative. Most importantly, she was very patient with us non-artists as we worked through our masterpieces.
Jazz was great! We had a excellent time learning about mate and painting our mate cups! Mahalo for teaching us about Argentine culture.
We had a great time at this experience with Jaz! Jaz was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned about mate and were able to taste it. My favorite part was painting the cups! Jaz has recommendations for what to paint, but is also very encouraging if you want to paint your own thing. I love that we have something to take home from the experience, and it isn't big so it will pack well!
Jazmin’s mate tasting and paint workshop has a really nice, authentic atmosphere. The focus on one mate makes the experience feel intentional and unrushed, with enough context to understand the ritual properly. The painting part is relaxed and welcoming, gives you space to enjoy the process. Jazmin creates a warm, genuine environment that makes you feel comfortable from the start. You leave feeling calm, inspired, and with a personal piece you actually enjoyed creating.
What a lovely way to spend an afternoon in Buenos Aires… Jazmin was kind and informative. She shared the background of mate as well as the ins and outs about drinking yerba mate today along with a variety of yummy pastries. She is a local artist and was willing to share her experience. It was fun and relaxing to paint my own mate cup as well as talk to and ask questions about BA. Now I know what to look for in a mate cup and Yerba mate after spending time with Jazmin - so worth it!!! When I travel, I want to have experiences, not just check off what have seen. If you are like me, do not hesitate to sign up!
We have a great time! Highly recommend this to those interested in learning about the Argentine culture and history while drinking mate and getting some painting experience in.
Amazing experience. I loved learning about the history and cultural traditions of Mate all while painting my own mate cup and enjoying delicious pastries. The location was fantastic as well. The house was architecturally beautiful and the colorful mosaic tiles got the creative vibe started. Jaz was an excellent host and knowledgeable about everything mate and art. Her natural artistic ability inspired my own painting. Afterwards a short walk into the heart of San Telmo offered a nice glass of Argentinian wine and good people watching while taking in this beautiful city and people. All in all a five star experience with Jaz!
Somos de Puerto Rico que viajamos a Argentina para un reencuentro familiar y decidimos vivir la experiencia de tomar mate. Encontramos esta actividad maravillosa y pudimos reservarla rápidamente. La anfitriona fue muy amable, nos explicó la historia del mate, lo probamos y también pintamos nuestro propio mate. Fue una experiencia única y enriquecedora que recomendamos al 100%. We are from Puerto Rico who traveled to Argentina for a family reunion and decided to experience mate. We found this amazing activity and were able to book it quickly. The host was very kind, explained the history of mate, let us try it, and guided us in painting our own mate cup. It was a unique and enriching experience that we highly recommend.
Amazing experience! Lots of information about mate and the area in general! A wonderful way to experience mate, especially because it’s not something you find in restaurants. Would recommend to anyone coming to Argentina!
We had a little obstacle to start the session. The building where we were supposed to have the session has a power outage. Jaz decided to do a special picnic at Lago de Palermo instead. It turned out to be surprisingly fun. Beautiful weather, I loved sipping my mate outdoors in nature , and let my creativity flows. Jaz brought some tasty treats and lots of art supplies. I highly recommend this to those who enjoy art, and mingle with locals over mate.
We had a creative morning. The course offers you a mate cup and a bomilla. You can create the cup how you want. She has some prepared desings for those who want and also helps if you dont know what to do exactly. We ate breakfast together wich was very good. And in the end she gave us some more time to finish our work because we didn't do it in time. Very recommend the workshop it was a chill vibe and we had fun.
Lovely experience and the pastries were delicious. Jaz gave an in depth explanation about the history of mate. The painting session was relaxing and there were plenty of stencils to chose from. I couldn’t recommend any more !!!
My friend and I did the mate and paint experience with Jazmin and had a blast! She was very knowledgeable on mate and the origin, as well as how to care for our cups! She provided great pastries, unlimited mate for us to drink, and everything needed to paint our cups! We highly recommend if you want an art project or are interested in mare culture.
We had a great experience drinking mate and painting with Jazmin. She was very kind, informative, and engaging. She explained us about the origins of mate and the proper practice and then we had a lovely time painting our mate. She helped us decide our design for the cup, and had some good recommendations. The Argentinian snacks were delicious and we had an all-round great experience!! Definitely would recommend.
Amazing experience, very entertaining, very instructive, very instructive. The hostess is a sweet and wonderful person, friendly, friendly and very nice human being. Meeting her was an important part of the experience.
Fuimos 2 adultos y una niña de 5 años, muy interesante explicación sobre la historia del mate y bonito rato compartiendo, pintando y charlando. Muchas gracias por todo 😊
Fun and original cultural experience. There is a tour of the history of mate and also a tasting, mentioning and telling about emblematic places of the city and typical aspects, as well as the flora and fauna. The meeting ends with painting. Very fun and original!
I loved painting my own matte and taking it with me! My friends and I had a lot of fun and Jazmín taught us, in addition to painting, how to drink mate! When I return to Buenos Aires I want to repeat!
