In Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, evenings often start with fire and a drink. As the grill heats up and you raise your first Caipirinha, you step into a true Brazilian BBQ cooking and drinks class that mixes traditional food, music, and togetherness.

With two welcoming bilingual hosts guiding your churrasco experience, every guest takes part: turning premium cuts of picanha, mixing the traditional molho à campanha, or shaking a batida de coco. The patio becomes a shared kitchen where strangers cook, laugh, and toast as one group at this authentic Copacabana BBQ party.

Over the course of the evening, you will prepare and enjoy 10 favorites locals never miss at a traditional Brazilian BBQ: garlic bread, picanha, cupim (a marbled cut Brazilians call their wagyu), grilled pineapple, and more.

Drinks flow freely as you learn to mix lime Caipirinhas and creamy batidas, and our covered patio ensures your Rio cooking class celebration continues rain or shine.

Small groups guarantee everyone gets hands-on time and attention during this fun meat grilling class.

Reserve your spot in the best BBQ class in Rio de Janeiro today with our 5-Star Guarantee: if this night doesn't become the highlight of your trip, you don't pay.
This experience is offered in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.

...I left thinking, “Okay… maybe I can pull off a Brazilian BBQ.”

via GetYourGuide ★ 5.0

I’m not usually the one in charge of the grill at home, so I expected to watch more than participate. But the way everything was broken down made it feel simple — light the charcoal, taste the salt, flip the meat once, not twice. Nothing fancy, just techniques you can actually repeat. And every few minutes someone handed me another caipirinha to “keep the instructor hydrated.”...
