What To Expect

Immerse yourself in the tradition, aromas, and flavors of paella with an experience beyond cooking—it's a journey into the heart of Valencia. We’ll meet at the designated point and head to my home, just 30 minutes from Valencia, near the Albufera Natural Park, surrounded by orange groves and rice fields. From the start, we want you to feel at home, enjoying warm hospitality and the joy of cooking together. Time to become real chefs: apron on, spoon in hand, fire lit. With stunning views as our backdrop, you'll learn the secrets of authentic Valencian paella, step by step. While the rice absorbs the flavors, we’ll take a break to enjoy delicious local tapas with wine or soft drinks. This is more than cooking—it’s about sharing, laughing, and discovering the traditions that make paella a celebration. Finally, the best part: savoring your freshly made paella, enjoying every bite with the pride of having cooked it yourself. Between laughter and good company, you’ll feel part of a centuries-old tradition. Come and enjoy an unforgettable day filled with aromas, fire, and passion. Because paella isn’t just made with ingredients—it’s made with soul.

The pick up point was easy to find (we walked from the cruise ship). The kitchen in the orange grove was stunning. We all had the best time. It was a highlight of our trip. We would definitely recommend.
A beautiful experience outside Valencia

I can absolutely recommend this paella event. Once you arrive (which is a distance of 35 km from Valencia, but is driven by Rafa), you are in another world. Wine, beer, everything there, I even saw water. Simply remove from the fridge. Rafa does the course in Spanish, but even without the translation into English you can understand everything. The correct choice of ingredients is also pointed out: The main thing is not Madrid. I strongly recommend this cooking class to people who do not otherwise cook. Thank you, Rafa and team!

It was a fabulous experience. We had fun, we learned all about the ‘real’ paella, the Valencia’s paella and the food was super. We strongly recommand this tour. It is definitely worth it.
