Paella cooking class: Sangria workshop, Tapas & Wine – evening
Description
Paella was born here in Valencia—and this hands-on evening class teaches you the real recipe, not the tourist version. Learn to make traditional Valencian paella with meat and vegetables, the way local families have cooked it for generations. No seafood. No shortcuts. Just authentic technique from Valencian chefs who grew up making it. Join our small-group workshop after the city cools down and master the secrets: achieving the perfect socarrat (the prized crispy rice crust), using Albufera rice from Valencia's own fields, and balancing saffron like a pro. While your paella simmers, enjoy a sangria-making workshop and sample traditional tapas. Then sit down to feast on your creation with local wine, salad, mistela, and homemade dessert. The perfect way to end your day in Valencia.

Paella was amazing as well as the tapas and sangria .. plenty of it too. Richard and Miguel made the evening fun but very informative. Met some amazing people yoo and had such laughs .. definitely recommend even if your alone traveller.
Today’s paella class was a beautiful immersion into Valencian cooking. From the moment we started prepping the ingredients, the instructor shared stories, traditions, and techniques that brought the dish to life. The aroma, the simmering broth, the slow build toward the socarrat—it all felt like participating in something truly local and meaningful. The final paella was incredible, and the experience was super fun and unforgettable.
Thank you for a lovely evening and a great cooking lesson. I would highly recommend visitor and others to take the cooking class. The sangria, tapas and the paella we made was delicious. Chees.
It was truly a wonderful experience and was a lot of fun!
Such a great experience that if you’re not sure whether to go, just go — it’s unforgettable. 😊
A great experience, Kris was a wonderful teacher and Oscar kept things organized. Kris got the whole group involved and was very knowledgeable. The tapas and drinks were also good. One suggestion, maybe to wear name tags and have people introduce themselves before starting. Great time and cost was about right.
What an amazing experience! The paella making class was super informative, fun, and incredible value for money. The food was absolutely delicious, the sangria was amazing, and the whole atmosphere was fantastic from start to finish. A huge shoutout to Ana, who was the best host - so friendly, funny, and knowledgeable throughout the entire experience. She made everything easy to follow and kept everyone entertained the whole time. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting and looking for a fun, authentic, and delicious experience!
This is a GREAT experience. It was a good, hands-on learning experience for making different kinds of paella. The food, both the paella we made and the tapas / dessert supplied by the chefs, were plentiful and tasty. The drinks were PLENTIFUL. The facility was very nice with plenty of room to cook and eat. Christina and Guillermo were outstanding trainers... explaining the techniques and allowing the participants to perform all the work. They have great personalities and were wonderful to talk to. The class was divided into four groups of 4-6 people so it was easy to practice the steps. If you are interested in learning how to make paella, this is the experience to choose!
We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and the opportunity to cook our own paella!
