Mateada at Meadowside

Yerba maté may be packed on the shelf as an individual energy drink, but it’s actually a communal ritual for loved ones and friends, old and new. Join Meadowside to experience yerba maté as it’s meant to be, a living tradition in which people gather to drink tea, play games, and just be with each other.
Guests will enjoy an outdoor picnic with yerba maté tea and “hora de té” (teatime) foods traditional to Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Guests are encouraged to bring picnic blankets, games they’d like to share, and their own maté kits (bombillas, maté and yerba).
The Naturalist leading this program is a native Spanish speaker and is fluent in both English and Spanish; all are welcome!
Este programa será facilitado por un guía quien habla castellano con fluidez.
