Inflight Catering · San Rafael

Inflight catering in San Rafael

San Rafael sits at the southern edge of Mendoza wine country, where the Diamante and Atuel rivers carve through high-desert terrain before the Andes rise sharply to the west. The region produces some of Argentina's most distinctive Malbec and Cabernet Franc, grown at altitude on alluvial soils that concentrate flavour in ways the Mendoza valley floor cannot replicate. That terroir reaches your galley when we source from it. Beyond the vines, San Rafael's surrounding landscape offers stone fruits, olives and artisanal cheeses from small producers who rarely supply commercial channels. Our sourcing team maintains direct relationships here, which means inflight catering assembled in San Rafael carries a provenance that a generic catering kitchen simply cannot offer.

Regional Catering Menu · San Rafael

Local sourcing for AFA

Patagonian lamb from ranches south of the city, slow-roasted and rested before galley-ready portioning, is among the most requested items we prepare for aircraft departing this region. Alongside it, local trout from cold Andean rivers — cured, cold-smoked or lightly poached — travels exceptionally well at altitude and pairs naturally with the dry whites produced in the valleys immediately below the airport. For morning departures, empanadas filled with seasoned beef or roasted vegetable are prepared fresh rather than reheated, and our pastry work draws on dulce de leche and regional quince — ingredients that are ambient staples here rather than imported novelties. Vegetarian and dietary builds receive the same sourcing rigour; nothing on your tray is an afterthought.
