Rio de Janeiro Moqueca Cooking Class with Caipirinha Making and Samba Lesson

Join a Brazilian cooking class, make 3 caipirinhas, and learn samba in a professional chef-led small-group session.

Getting started

Check in at the venue and meet your professional chef and cooking instructor along with the local samba dance instructor. After a brief introduction to the class setup, you move to your individual station where all ingredients and cooking equipment are arranged for you. Once everyone in the small-group is ready, the hands-on Brazilian cooking class begins.

What to expect

Brazilian cooking, caipirinhas, and samba experience

This single-session experience combines a hands-on Brazilian cooking class, a caipirinha making session, and a samba dance class. You prepare a traditional Brazilian moqueca that becomes your full meal, mix and enjoy three different caipirinhas, then finish with samba steps led by a local instructor.
