Valencia is the birthplace of the world-famous paella - from the market to your plate, learn step-by-step how to make this traditional dish!
First, your local guide will take you to visit Mercado Central de Valencia - Europe's largest food market. Here, you'll buy your fresh ingredients. For evening tours and tours on Sunday, the Central Market is closed so we will skip this step and go straight to the cooking!
You’ll then go to the paella kitchen for a live paella workshop with a professional chef. Follow along step-by-step at your own cooking station and learn the local tips and tricks of what makes this dish so special.
After the class, sit back and enjoy some local tapas, wine and, of course, your very own paella.
Your paella cooking class Valencia finishes with a sweet treat before returning to the meeting point accompanied by the guide.

5.00Amazing!! Megan was an absolute wonderful teacher. We had a tour and visit to the central market on our way to the class. She explained the culture and history of Paella. We got to cook our own dish while tasting various wines and tapas. Michelle was a wonderful cohost with the wine and tapas. Definitely recommend this class and teachers.
Amazing Paella! Amazing guides!

5.00What a WONDERFUL experience!! Megan & Michelle were such amazing hosts. Extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. Our wine glasses were never empty and questions always answered. They understand the recipe truly and make sure you yourself understand it too. We are leaving with full bellies and the best paella we’ve ever had! Would recommend to anyone wanting a true cooking and paella experience.
Informative, entertaining

5.00I went on this paella tour with two friends. It was a great tour in every way. The chef Victor was knowledgeable and great in every way. The facilities for cooking paella were also very nice. I have cooked many paellas in my life and I thought I knew almost everything about this dish, but I still learned a lot. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you Sea Saffron and team
Great date night!
