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.

My cousin and I loved this cooking class! First, the space was super beautiful and you’re welcomed with a glass of cava & tapas. And then we met our chef Megan & wine expert Emma who both made you feel immediately welcomed and excited for the class. They then gave a brief but interesting history of Paella. Then when you go into the kitchen, you’re giving more tastings of cheese and wine! Our chef Megan was super engaging and helpful! She explained the steps super clearly and made the whole entire experience really fun and exciting. When we sat down we were given more wine to pair with our paella. Both of which were DELICIOUS. At the end we were given a really tasty dessert and a Valencian digestivo. Thank you Megan and Emma for such an incredible class!

Outstanding evening with Daniel and Tamas! Very informative and entertaining. We were treated to local wine, cava and beer while being served tapas while we cooked. I really enjoyed learning the history of paella and how it differs from place to place. I highly recommend that you check this class out if you're looking for something different to do.
