We’ll collect you from the designated meeting spot (Bus stop No. 25 opposite the “Palacio de Justicia”) and head to a rural home close to Albufera Natural Park. Upon arrival, we’ll indulge in some light refreshments as we take in the local scenery.

It’s time to don our chef hats and begin the cooking lesson, all while soaking in the stunning vistas and preparing a genuine paella.

As the paella gently cooks, we’ll pause to savor some traditional tapas.

Then, we’ll proceed to add the rice and delve into a variety of Valencian customs and practices.

But it’s not all about the work! The true prize is the exchange of sensations, tastes, life stories, and laughs… and, of course, the pleasure of consuming the exquisite paella you’ve made.

Great way to spend the day! - From beginning to end our Paella class was great. Our meeting place was easy to find and were picked up on time. The class is fun and we learned all about cooking and eating Valencia Paella. Our tapas were tasty and the paella was delicious. It was a great choice for us.

Fun and Educational Culinary Adventure - I attended this course on authentic Valencian paella, and it was amazing! The hosts Rafa and Javi were knowledgeable and very funny, making the experience fun and educational. We learned about the traditional ingredients to use (and which not to), the cooking method, and the history of the dish. The hands-on approach ensured everyone in our group felt confident to try it at home. Highly recommend!

We will make Paella very differently in the future - We did this experience with our two adult children. The hosts were wonderful, funny, knowledgeable and great teachers. The setting was brilliant and the transport from the meeting point to their wonderful location was a great touch. We have made Paella many times before at home but now we will definitely do it very differently. Would highly recommend this excursion and the hosts

Perfect venue, wonderful host - Took the class to learn the finer points of paella making. Mission accomplished but so much more. The host and his assistants were not just knowledgeable but warm and welcoming with a mi casa, su casa attitude. The setting in the countryside is gorgeous…the food delicious. All in all, perfect!

Must do if you visit Valencia - This was a highlight of our time in Valencia. Rafa and his sons made it feel like this was the only class of the week. Great hospitality, great food, and overall just a great experience with a wonderful family and other guests.

We wanted good food and authenticity and we got it! - My boyfriend and I had a marvelous culinary experience. At first, we were not sure if it was legit because Rafa and Javier had to pick us up in a "white van". Once we arrived at the meeting point, it was obvious that it was indeed a real organized activity. We had fun with a dozen of other participants in Rafa's lovely yard. The group was divided in three and we were able to taste three different paella. We did not leave hungry, believe me! I highly recommend!

Best Authentic Paella - Rafa and his colleagues were absolutely amazing hosts and cooks. Upon arrival to a beautiful home 30 minutes outside of Valencia, we were welcomed by drinks and a beautiful set up for learning to make paella. The entire experience was fantastic and I would highly recommend this excursion. We learned to make great paella and had a true feast.

Wow, Wow, Wow- best Paella Cooking Class! - Wow, Wow, Wow!!! What an amazing day! I highly recommend this class for anyone considering taking a Paella cooking class in the Valencia area. Rafa and Javier’s team was excellent from pick up to drop off. We started off making Sangria, because of course the first step in Paella making is making the Sangria! All our Paella’s turned out fantastic! We met lots of lovely people- and two couples were celebrating their anniversary the day of our cooking class- of course we had to toast them multiple times!! I was there with my teen daughter and she loved it! When we thought we were finished, as we were all very full. Deserts came out, which is a traditional sponge with desert wine and fresh watermelon from the area. The surrounding is superb and relaxing. I highly recommend.
