Äkta Valencian Paella Cooking Class

This class was so fun. The tour guide, Julieta, was an absolute delight. Rafa, the chef, was very kind, knowledgeable, and funny. Youyou are shuttled from the city roughly 40 minutes into the countryside where you get to spend the day laughing, learning to cook paella, sipping refreshing sangria wine beer or soft drinks, and taking in the beautiful scenery of the orchard.

Everything was super good, we had a great time

Exceptional day and experience, a perfect mix

Rafa, Julieta. They are charming. A charming experience. I recommend them 100%. Thanks a million.

This was the highlight of our trip to Valencia. Rafa and Julieta were amazingly friendly and helpful and made us feel like we were at home. The paella turned out fabulous and was by far the best meal we ate during our entire trip. We didn’t want to leave and I would recommend this to anyone who visiting Valencia!

What a fabulous experience. We were picked up in Valencia and driven out to beautiful countryside. The cooking experience was both fun and interesting. The food and drink served was great prior to the paella being ready - and that was also delicious. Rafa and his team were wonderful and very entertaining. Great day - really recommend.

Highly recommend this to anyone and everyone!!! We had an amazing time the whole experience was so special and unique. Rafa and Julieta were AMAZING it was such a fun experience!

We had a wonderful time. Well organised and plenty of laughs and information. Juliet contacted us the day before with a reminder of our meeting point. The Paella cooking course is a little way out of the centre but all transport arranged and it was good to see some of the countryside. Rafa is brilliant at the cooking of Paella and offers loads of additional information. What was also nice was it was a small group around 10 of us so sitting down to eat our cooked Paella was liking sitting at a table with friends. Would highly recommend.

What an absolute joy to spend these hours with our tour guides, along with Rafa and his team. Communication from Julieta was spot on and appreciated. Meeting point clearly explained. The drive to Rafa’s home was comfortable and Julieta conversed about what we were passing while being a very safe driver. We were warmly welcomed by Rafa as soon as we pulled up, entered his patio, offered cold beverages and proceeded up into his garden to pick our fresh rosemary to be used in our paella. This was the perfect paella cooking class, out of the city in the beautiful countryside near Parque Natural de la Albufera. Rafa was a perfect host, an excellent step by step instructor and the best Paella Master…WOW WOW WOW!!! As Rafa speaks his native Spanish, Julieta interpreted everything he said and was able to carry out his sense of humor. They were a perfect team and enhanced the experience. We were all welcomed in to Rafa’s home just like we were truly his guests and even his friends. Rafa you are a gem! The cold beverages, tapas, PAELLA, Sangria, fresh made cake by Rafa that morning, watermelon and after dinner wine were all excellent. Rafa’s team moved about seamlessly, clearing plates, filling wine glasses and scrubbing our Paella pans. This experience was truly unforgettable and 100% worth it. Thank you Rafa and Julieta for your knowledge and humor.

It has been an unparalleled experience. Spending 4 hours with Rafa and his team was a true luxury because they clearly know what they are doing and love the people who come to learn. The landscape, the farmhouse, and the organization of the space were spectacular. The paella was excellent. Additionally, it is a complete meal, with sangria, wine, appetizers, and dessert.
