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.

Fantastic experience. Well guidances. This was our first time in Valencia and I only can recommend this cooking class. We had so much fun together with the other people. The wine tastes plus you get to know how to cook Valencia paella super! I bought the ingredients so I can do it at home (except the meat!) Juan is a fantastic cook and the lady (forgot the name) with the wine explained everything. They made it so easy. On top as it was my birthday 🎂 I even got a cake with a candle plus birthday singing! Such a nice touch and thought of them. If you visit Valencia do this cooking class you will not regret.
Fantastico!
