Tour description

In this intimate tasting session, you’re welcomed into a local home to explore Peru’s most meaningful flavors through stories, recipes, and traditions passed down for generations.

You won’t be cooking; you’ll be savoring. Each tasting is introduced with its cultural background, showing how Indigenous, Spanish, and Afro-Peruvian influences shaped Lima’s food identity.

Guests often say this was “the moment our trip to Peru became personal.”

The experience feels like sitting at a local family’s table - relaxed, warm, and full of insights you won’t hear on typical tours. Between tastings, your host shares traditions, anecdotes, and the meaning behind each dish, turning flavors into memories.

This isn’t a staged show. It’s your behind-the-scenes pass into how Peruvians eat, celebrate, and welcome guests.

Seats are intentionally limited to keep the atmosphere personal, so early reservation is recommended.

"Sitting in a family living room, listening to the stories behind each dish, felt completely different from any restaurant. The food was great, of course, but what stayed with me were the small details - who taught the recipe, when it’s served, which aunt insists on adding ‘just a little more’ of something..."

...And somewhere between the conversations and the bites, I realized I was experiencing a part of the city most travelers never get close to.
