Paella Cooking Class in Madrid with Bottomless Wine Pairing

I am a US expat who has been living in Madrid for 35 years, and I wanted my family to have a unique experience during their visit here. My SIL suggested this cooking class based on a 5-star recommendation she received from a fellow traveler, so we booked. There were 11 people altogether in our class, and we thoroughly enjoyed making our paellas while drinking unlimited cava and dancing to 80s tunes. They were able to accommodate gluten-free options, and Chef Claudia made everyone feel welcome and part of the group. Highly recommendable!

This 3 hour paella making class with our host Bernie was a fun experience and easy to participate in for novice cooks. Ingredients were precut which helped but the cooking process was still engaging. Lots of wine and other treats made it a fun experience. Enjoyed meeting other people and sharing our different paella together at the end!

Our family of five had an awesome experience. Benny (along with his assistant) was an excellent instructor as we made six different paellas in our class of 11 people. Every part of the experience from hors d’oeuvres and sparking wine as we cooked, cooking the paella from precut/measured ingredients, enjoying our dishes, wine and dessert and conversation with other members of the group in a quaint historic room was thoroughly enjoyed by all of us. Thank you to Benny for a memorable experience and teaching us how to make the best paella we tasted on our 12 day trip to Spain. Salud!!

We had such a fantastic experience at the Cooking Clubhouse in Madrid! This was one of the highlights of our trip. Everything was incredibly well organized from start to finish. The venue was spotless, and all of the ingredients were prepped and ready to go. We loved that everyone worked in pairs to prepare a single paella, which made it very interactive and fun. Our instructor was wonderful. She clearly loves what she does, and her enthusiasm and energy made the class even more enjoyable. We were traveling as a family of four, including two teenagers (ages 15 and 18), and every one of us had a great time. We highly recommend the Cooking Clubhouse to anyone visiting Madrid. Whether you're a foodie or just looking for a unique family activity, this class is absolutely worth it!

Awesome experience in a very cool location The food was amazing and you could tell the hosts loved what they did and it showed in the atmosphere and passion of the class

This paella class was the best introduction to paella in Madrid. We learned the process of making it and our instructor was able to show us what we are looking for when we make it at home. We tried all of the paellas later family style and it was a great experience.

This was an absolutely amazing experience! Nico, Diego, and the entire staff made this such a special event for all of us. The space itself is beautiful and completely private so it's just the teaching team and the class attendees in the whole building, which has some interesting history as well. The course moved at a perfect pace, and we were able to ask questions to ensure we really understood the technique. Bottomless wine is 100% accurate - our glasses were never empty and they are happy to accommodate your preference. Not only were the paella dishes delicious, but so were all the other treats the team prepared for us to enjoy. If you are into cooking at all, I would HIGHLY recommend this course and the Cooking Clubhouse in general. Great experience and we left with the cookbook, ready to go make paella back home!

This was a highlight of our trip to Madrid. The food and wine was delicious and we learned to cook 4 different paellas.

One of the most fantastic experiences we have ever had - so much fun! It is a "must do" for anyone visiting Madrid - we took the class with our family and are so happy we did! Amazing, fun, entertaining and knowledgeable team of chefs to help you cook (and make sure it was going as planned) great upbeat music and wine! We were laughing from the moment we got there. The paella was amazing - do not miss this!!!

This was an amazing experience! Not only was Benny phenomenal, but he was an amazing teacher. They accommodated food allergies and I would absolutely recommend this experience to others!
