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.

5.00This was such an awesome experience that everyone should go if you visit Valencia España. The chef name was Victor which was phenomenal and very knowledgeable. He explained everything from start to finish. He was great!! His assistants, Tuathla and Luna, were excellent as well and very attentive with the class. It’s was all the package which included visiting the central market, wine tasting, tapas during the class and learning to make a Paella and enjoying afterwards. This class was worth every penny. My husband and I enjoyed very much.
Great cooking class

5.00Enjoyed a great class with Daniel and Sofia. Daniel did not only lead us through every step of how to cook a paella just the right way but also showed us the city and the market. The venue was beautiful, wine and foods of best quality and lots of fun.
Great cooking class
