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.

5.00If you’re in Valencia, book this tour! Even if you can’t cook. Even if you already know how to make Paella. Whether you’re in a group of 3 or was flying solo, book this tour! Reyes was such an amazing instructor, and Sam was extremely informative. By the end it felt like we were family dining together!
Paella for the win!!

5.00Incredible experience. Short walking tour including central market. Learned so much about the area. Then the paella. Hands on cooking experience. Enjoyed all we made along with paired wines and snacks. So much more than I expected. Reyes was a knowledgeable teacher. Highly recommend this class. Do not hesitate. I would do it again tomorrow.
One of the highlights of our trip!

5.00This was an incredible experience! Our chef was informative, funny, and helpful, and created a fun, social environment to cook and learn in. And our paella turned out amazing!! They provided lots of wine and tapas along the way, and we had lots of fun cooking and chatting with other participants. We’re excited to bring the tradition home with us. This was one of our highlights of our trip to Spain, and a must-do in Valencia! It should be noted that the evening classes do not include a visit to the Central Market.
Great paella cooking experience in Valencia!
