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.

Our hosts for the evening event were fantastic. They engaged us in the paella making process as well as the cultural aspects of this traditional Spanish meal. The evening included delicious tapas, ample sangria, and a chance to meet other folks from around the world. I would do this again in a heartbeat! It was a great experience in so many ways!
This cooking class was AMAZING. It was my husband, myself, and our two young daughters. Everyone participate and everyone had fun. The instructors were great and knowledgeable ( and funny) and they made you feel like part of the family. There was PLENTY of food and plenty of cooking to be done. No place better to take a cooking class than the home of Paella.I didnt eat paella the rest of our trip because I knew nothing was gonig to be better than the one we made here.
Absolutely loved my experience with My First Paella!!! The staff was wonderful, kind, entertaining, and very thorough with the entire experience!!! They created such a fun and welcoming experience for all guests, and taught us how to make a true traditional València paella. The group of individuals I was with was incredibly welcoming and so fun to talk to during the 3 hours!!! We had a wonderful experience and it was truly the highlight of my time in València. Please book with them, you won’t regret it!!!
Great time with Nico, Jaime, and Anna! We cooked, tasted, and had a good laugh. They are adorable and very professional!
The chefs were informative and answered all questions. It was a great mix of people from several countries who shared their experiences while visiting Spain and culinary expertise. The food from start to finish was fresh, tasty, and enjoyable. The sangria was flowing and each participant was able to be hands on in the small groups. Sharing an experience and meal with strangers is something I highly reccomend no matter what city you visit!
It was a very interesting and cheerful experience, in addition to tasty!!!! The teachers are wonderful! Nice experience!!!!
Anna was a fantastic host and instructor! She was upbeat, passionate, and engaging. The food and drink were wonderful, but the experience was even better!
This was an unforgettable experience taking this class. The instructors were very knowledgeable about the history and process of paella and sangria. They were patient and engaging, explained every step as we went along. They got everyone involved. Good instructions, very personable, nice touch of humor and made a lasting impression! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We had so much fun. Our host were fun and entertaining. The paella and sangria were absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to make it at home!
It was a good fun experience with plenty of food and drink. The only shame was that there was only one chef instructing two separate groups at the same time.
