Step inside a welcoming San José home and embark on a three-hour tasting journey designed to show you how Costa Ricans truly eat, celebrate, and connect. Guided by a local chef who also serves as your cultural storyteller, you’ll explore Costa Rica’s culinary identity through a curated series of authentic specialties. You’ll try beloved street snacks, comforting home-style dishes, seasonal fruits from nearby regions, indulgent desserts, and colorful local beverages — each linked to traditions shaped by Indigenous, Afro-Caribbean, and Spanish influences. As you taste, your host shares the stories, customs, and everyday rituals behind each recipe, turning every bite into a deeper understanding of Costa Rican life. The atmosphere is relaxed and social, perfect for curious travelers who prefer meaningful experiences over tourist crowds. Because this tasting takes place in a real home, not a commercial studio, you’ll get a genuine glimpse into how locals cook, gather, and enjoy food. Come with an appetite for discovery — you’ll leave with new knowledge, new connections, and a richer appreciation for Costa Rica’s culinary soul.
