Highlights
  • Valencia Club Cocina - Do you want to discover the most traditional recipes of Spanish and Valencian cuisine? If the answer is yes, come enjoy this experience.

The day does not begin in the kitchen…. but rather visiting the neighborhood market, Mercado Algirós, where we acquire the best and freshest Mediterranean ingredients that are part of our culinary culture. (The visit to the market will only be for morning groups)

Once you have touched the base of Valencian gastronomic culture with the essence of the neighbor, it is time to continue with our Paella workshop.

You will make a traditional menu with Valencian paella as the main dish, potato omelette and coca en llanda with merengada milk ice cream, a typical Valencian dessert. Meanwhile, you enjoy local wines from one of the best-known wineries in the area.

Lastly, and most importantly, now it’s time to eat! Enjoy the food and share your experience with the chef, toasting with wine and sangria!

When finished, the chefs will give you a personalized and newly printed diploma with your group photo along with the recipe for Valencian paella to cook at home.

The workshop will be held in English.

Fantastic - Family friendly easy to get to from the port. If you’re coming from the port take a taxi. The chef knows his stuff. He’s very enthusiastic, entertaining and just a very nice guy. Helped us get cab at the end. Must do!!

A must-do experience! - This was an outstanding experience. Our chef, Carles, and his assistants were experienced, engaging, funny, and multi-lingual. Everyone had a chance to participate, while enjoying tapas and sangria to your heart’s content. We made both chicken and vegetarian paella, a Spanish omelette, and a sponge cake with ice cream. This is an excellent opportunity to experience the culture of Valencia and help the town come to life. No matter your comfort level in the kitchen, this is a class that anyone can enjoy and learn from. This was a highlight of our entire trip.

So much fun! - My husband and I went to this class during our summer trip and are so happy we did! We made delicious tapas, drank sangria and wine, and had so much fun. I had messaged them prior to the class saying I was vegan and they had pre made things for me to eat so I didn’t miss out. Overall great experience!

Delicious and informative - This class was fun and interesting. Well run and informative. Participants were involved in the creation of the paella, a dessert and a tortilla patata. The really great part was we got to eat everything and wash it down with a traditional sangria. Delicious. *****

Great group activity - We enjoyed doing the Sunday class. We were in Valencia for a month and had been to the markets many times. So, we didn't mind missing that component from the Sunday class. We cook rice all the time and learned a lot about preparing paella. Overall it was a solid experience. Our group was about 17 people. So, the cooking component is a little hands only but group based. That was fine for us. If you are a looking for more of a one on one cooking class, look into that instead. But, for a 2.5 hour group class, this was enough for us.
