What is the minimum lead time for Mendoza private jet catering?

We ask for as much notice as operationally possible, though we routinely handle short-notice requests. Kosher provisions require a minimum of twenty-four hours to source and certify correctly.

Can you supply crew meals separately from passenger catering?

Yes. Crew meals are packaged, labelled and delivered separately, formatted for quick consumption in the cockpit without disrupting passenger service in the cabin.

Do you use local Mendoza produce and wine?

Where the order and timeline allow, we source from regional suppliers in Mendoza province — including local olive oil, stone fruits, walnuts, aged cheeses and wine from the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo. Regional bottles can be included with sommelier pairing notes.

Can you cater a flight operating between Mendoza and San Juan or San Rafael?

Yes. Our network covers nearby fields including those serving San Juan and San Rafael. A single order through your point of contact can cover provisions for multi-leg itineraries across the region.

How is catering delivered given Mendoza's elevation?

Our team accounts for the field's elevation when calculating galley load configurations, ensuring packaging integrity and correct portion weights without adjusting quality or quantity.

What dietary requirements can you accommodate?

Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, halal and low-sodium menus are all handled as standard. Kosher catering is available with twenty-four hours' notice. Notify us of any requirements when placing your order.

Private jet menu for Mendoza

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Mendoza departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenArgentina

To start

Pressed layered terrine of fresh Andean goat curd and toasted local walnuts, set with a light herb gelée, sliced cold and served with toasted rye crackers and a spoonful of quince paste.

Inflight Catering · Mendoza

Private aviation catering at MDZ

Mendoza sits at the foot of the Andes at over two thousand feet, where intense sun, low humidity and snowmelt irrigation have made this one of the world's great agricultural zones. The province produces Malbec and Torrontés of serious pedigree, along with stone fruits, walnuts, garlic, olives and some of the finest grass-fed beef on the continent — ingredients that arrive in our preparation kitchens in peak condition and travel just as well at altitude. The city's culinary culture is rooted in the asado tradition but has evolved steadily toward refined wine-country cuisine: slow-braised lamb from the high desert, empanadas made with lard pastry and precisely spiced filling, and a confident use of native herbs such as peperina and muña. Our menus for Mendoza departures draw on these foundations rather than around them, giving passengers something genuinely of the place rather than a generic continental spread.

Regional Catering Menu · Mendoza

Mendoza inflight catering

A Mendoza inflight catering order benefits from proximity to some of South America's most distinct produce. Andean goat cheeses, extra-virgin olive oil pressed in Luján de Cuyo, and walnuts from the Uco Valley all lend themselves to composed starters and cheese courses that speak clearly of the region. For mains, we work with local suppliers for prime cuts suitable for vacuum-seal preparation, ensuring that slow-cooked short rib or a well-rested loin arrives in the cabin at the correct temperature and texture — not merely reheated. Wine pairing is taken seriously here. Our sommelier notes accompany every Mendoza aircraft catering order, matching regional bottles — from structured Malbecs to high-altitude whites — to each course. Passengers connecting onward to San Juan or San Rafael can extend the regional story across the full journey. Kosher provisions are available with a minimum of twenty-four hours' notice; all other dietary requirements are accommodated as standard.
