A few times a year, Francis opens his house in Garzón and his island in Patagonia to a small group of guests. Each experience is hosted by Francis himself and arranged end to end by Satopia, from arrival to departure.
Eight days at Casa Anna, his home in the village, moving between the fire, the vineyards of Bodega Garzón, the lagoons and the José Ignacio coast.
Two days in Buenos Aires, then south by air, road and boat to La Soplada, his island on Lago La Plata, for six nights of open-fire cooking with the chef.
La Soplada under snow. Frozen water, white forest and firelight, with cross-country skiing and snowshoeing between meals cooked by Francis.
Francis Mallmann is an Argentinian chef, author and restaurateur known worldwide for his elemental approach to Patagonian open-fire cooking and his appearance on Netflix’s Chef’s Table.
After beginning his career in French fine dining, he returned in the 1990s to the traditions of his Patagonian childhood. His cooking is shaped by smoke, fire, air, stone, salt, rain, meat and wine, favouring instinct, landscape and time over the conventions of haute cuisine.
Today, Francis divides his time between La Soplada in Patagonia, his home in Garzón and his restaurants around the world.

Yes. Francis hosts each experience himself. On La Soplada there is a daily fire-cooking lesson with Francis for five days; in Garzón there are six hands-on open-fire cooking experiences with him at Casa Anna.
Summer in Garzón is eight days at Casa Anna in Uruguay, gentle to moderate in pace, with vineyards, gaucho riding and the coast. The Island in Autumn and the island in winter are both eleven days, beginning in Buenos Aires before travelling to La Soplada in Patagonia. They are active and remote; the winter edition adds snow, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
For Garzón, fly to Punta del Este (PDP) or Montevideo (MVD), from where a transfer brings you to the village. For Patagonia, arrive at Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) by 2–3pm on day one; domestic flights, the road trip and the boat to the island are all arranged for you.
Each departure is for a group of 8–10 guests, priced per person based on two sharing. It suits food and wine lovers drawn to open-fire cooking, and travellers who want to disconnect.
A refundable $500 per person secures your application. It is returned within 10 days if your application isn't approved, or if you withdraw.
