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.

4.00Paella class was fun- included market tour, drinks/tapas and paella making. Brief walking tour before heading to the market. Instead I wish we had been toured a bit more around the market as a group. Class was a bit chaotic and it was hard to hear- would have liked to receive more background about the ingredients and more individual attention. But still a very fun experience. Great with accommodating vegetarian or pescatarian options. Drinks, tapas and cooking space were amazing. Paella was delicious. Squid and sangria was the best I’ve ever had. Also please provide optional safety glasses for participants- oil splattered everywhere and burned my eye lid. Amazing class just with some small room for improvement!
Excellent and tasty Paella Class

5.00The paella class was incredible. Daniel and Julia, our host and hostess, did an excellent job educating us about paella and treating us with tasty appetizers and wine tastings. One of our friends was gluten-free and they made her feel very special. The entire evening was far above our expectations and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Valencia
