We will share with you a cooking class where you will learn the techniques and secrets of the famous Empanadas de Pino, a special recipe of our beloved and remembered grandmother. We will talk about the ingredients that compose it: the dough, the filling or pino (onions, meat, raisins, olives and egg) and the famous Chilean pebre (tomato, onion and coriander). We will cook the ingredients of the empanada, and we will teach you how to organize the elements to fill them, we will work the dough, cut it and make the classic shapes, then we will heat the oven to the right temperature and bake them until they are golden brown. We will also make the delicious pebre that accompanies them, and finally we will sit at the table to taste the traditional Chilean Empanada de Pino con Pebre. Ask me if you have any special needs, and we will see how we can adapt to you. We love to share with people from different cultures and we will be happy to share with you, whoever you are.

We'll leave Santiago around 9 am and take a pretty , 75 mins drive to the Casablanca Valley, previously famous mainly for its' whites but now producing increasingly amazing reds as well. We'll avoid the large, commercial, touristy producers and concentrate exclusively on boutique wineries with - it goes without saying - fantastic wines and a special, intimate vibe. Depending on the availability that day, we'll visit any two of the best, special, small producers in the valley, each with their own distinct and contrasting styles of wine. A lunch stop is not included in the schedule or price but can be arranged if all participants are up for it (from an empanada to a sit-down lunch) and if planned in advance. My aim is for the trip to be laid back, entertaining and informative, hopefully as if travelling with a friend. I speak native-level English, French and Spanish. Please note that due to some wineries still being closed to tourism because to the pandemic (or in some cases just on certains days), I ENCOURAGE INQUIRIES BEFORE GUESTS ACTUALLY BOOK, TO GIVE ME TIME TO CHECK WINERY AVAILABILITY BEFOREHAND and avoid having to reschedule in the event of unavailability on any given day. In principle the experience is limited to 3 guests for comfort reasons but larger groups (traveling together) can be accomodated. Please contact me with any doubts for for further information!

We'll meet at the equestrian center and get strait in to action. Each participant will have to catch from the field there own horse, this way you'll have your first connection and I'll see the chemistry between you and the chosen horse. After this, we'll need to saddle the horse and get ready with the helmet, each participant will saddle their own horse. In order to see the level of each participant, we'll get into the jumping arena and get short horse riding lesson. After we all feel safe, we'll go for a 2 hour ride through the Patagonian Pampa. Depending on your riding level, we can canter freely or just go on a slow pace. These are NOT touristic horses, these are all well trained and active horses who enjoy going in the field. I recommend this activity for people who already have notion on riding horses. Other things to note I have plenty of tourism experience in the area and own a touristic company, please feel free to contact me if you would like a tailor made experience in Patagonia lynn@thornton.cl
