Hosting the first 4-Hands Asado Experience ever held in Romania — Sunday, 21 June 2026, in a day that unites two Argentinian traditions: equestrian polo and asado.
Bucharest / Singureni Manor, Romania — 15 May 2026
On Sunday, 21 June 2026, Singureni Manor Equestrian Retreat opens its 2026 polo season with an unprecedented event in Romania — one that brings together, on the same field, two traditions born on the same Argentinian field: equestrian polo and open-fire asado. For the first time, the two rituals of the Argentinian plains converge on Romanian soil.
Chef Mauro Colagreco, an Argentinian chef and owner of Mirazur in Menton (Côte d’Azur), the three-Michelin-star restaurant ranked #1 in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2019, will cook alongside Alexandru Dumitru, Executive Chef of La Hambar in the first 4-Hands Argentinian Asado Experience ever held in Romania.
For one afternoon, the two chefs will cook together over a single open fire, at one long table — in the authentic spirit of the Argentinian asado, which Mauro Colagreco describes as “the ritual of festive days, the heart of Argentina.”
THREE MOMENTS WILL MARK 21 JUNE
The first polo match of the 2026 season
On the Singureni Manor’s polo field, the first polo match of the 2026 season will be played between the Singureni Manor Polo Club and the visiting team Sowiniec Polo Club from Poland. Polo, a sport traditionally associated with the culture of the Argentinian pampas, will animate the afternoon in the elegant rhythm characteristic of the game.
The first 4-Hands Argentinian Asado Experience in Romania
For the first time, the chef of a three-Michelin-star restaurant will cook over an open fire in Romania, in a culinary experience conceived as a ritual rather than a meal. Mauro Colagreco brings with him a rare heritage: born in the Argentinian pampas, trained in the kitchens of France’s greatest chefs (Bernard Loiseau, Alain Passard, Alain Ducasse, Guy Savoy), recognised with the world’s first Michelin Green Star for sustainability, named UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Biodiversity, and elected Vice-President of Relais & Châteaux Chefs.
Seats at the asado table are limited to one hundred. Early reservation is recommended.
Date: Sunday, 21 June 2026
Venue: Singureni Manor Equestrian Retreat, Singureni, Giurgiu county, Romania

The official opening of Paul’s Stay
On the same day, Singureni Manor will inaugurate Paul’s Stay, a new premium facility for guests that marks a new chapter for the equestrian destination at Singureni. The new facility includes:
- Outdoor adult & children’s swimming pool
- Padel & Squash court
- Spa — steam room, dry sauna, massage cabins, relaxation area, and salina (salt room)
- Indoor children and teens area
- Fitness centre
From this summer, guests staying at Paul’s Horses will enjoy full access to the Paul’s Stay facilities, designed
for the real rhythm of a weekend at the manor: a morning swim before breakfast, afternoons on the padel court, the steam of a sauna after the polo match, and a long table with friends at the end of the day.
