Paella cooking class with Sea Saffron Valencia - Daniel C. and his cohost were wonderful and very passionate about the experience of making a Paella. It was a small cooking class, three groups, a total of seven people. We were given welcome drinks and after a bit of socializing we received our aprons and moved to the kitchen where all our ingredients were organized for us. Each group made their own paella. Daniel walked us through the process sharing stories, talking bout paella history, the best rice to use, why you start by pouring the oil in center of pan… during the process we enjoyed local wines, gazpacho, appetizers. When our paellas were ready and ohhh they smelled and looked wonderful, we were sat a set table and served our meal which included not only our paellas but appetizers, dessert, and a digestive drink. Our hosts were a lot of fun, and since it was evening they gave us recommendations as to where we could stop for drinks and/or more desserts. It was a lovely experience and I would definitely recommend it to those who love excellent food, excellent wine, and excellent company!

Wow! Wow! Wow! - My friend and I had such a lovely day with Rafa and Dani and the very friendly international group of newly minted "Paella Ambassadors" in our group. Communication ahead of time was helpful and easy to access, meeting and transportation were great, and the class itself was so much fun! The setting in the countryside, where paella was first cooked and shared by campesinos, was homey and welcoming. And the class itself was so much fun! Rafa and Dani delivered the instructions in a fun and entertaining way, and while we waited for the paella to cook, we enjoyed an appetizer course and some wine. The finished products turned out wonderful - there was a choice to make traditional (chicken and rabbit), vegetarian, or seafood versions - and all were so nice! They also facilitated a friendly environment among the guests, so we enjoyed talking to fellow paella cooks. If you can't already tell, we had a blast. I highly recommend this class -- you won't regret it!

A fabulous ecperience - This authentic paella class was fabulous … much more than we anticipated. Rafa and his partners welcomed us into their home amid the orange groves and taught is how to cook an authentic paella which we then ate with relish. It was a lively and fun and very special experience that I highly recommend.

Authentic, Authentic, Authentic Paella with expert Paella Professor - Making authentic paella in a beautiful Huerta setting was a great experience. The number of want-to-be Chefs de Paella and Sangria baristas was enough for fun and camaraderie but not too many as to detract from hands on learning. Rafa and his team -- Dani, and Arturo where warm and welcoming. They provided us all with a wonderful and delicious experience from start to finish. This cooking class was extremely enjoyable. Rafa imparted his family secrets and tricks to making a successful and authentic paella. The history of paella Rafa reviewed gave us a knowledge to judge all rice and paella dishes with now and always. The rural setting with orange trees and gardens surrounding us all was so much more than any cooking school environment. We highly recommend this class!

Best Paella Class - Rafa and Danny were wonderful! We had such an enjoyable day and I'm pretty sure I can create an authentic paella at home now. The recipe link will be helpful. Funny, warm, kind, and knowledgeable.

Learn how to make the best paella - We were a group of 4 friends traveling together through Spain and booked this experience in Valencia. It was an amazing time and Rafa, Dani and Arturo were great hosts and paella instructors. We made the seafood paella and it turned out excellent. Later that evening we went to La Pepica restaurant which is supposed to set the standard for paella in Valencia. The four of us took a vote and we all agreed that the paella we made under Rafa’s instruction was much better. I would encourage anyone considering a paella cooking class to book this experience with Viator and Rafa. You won’t be disappointed!!
