What to expect

You'll arrive at the cooking studio and jump straight into the paella fundamentals. Expect guidance on selecting the right rice, building depth with stocks, and timing the seafood or meat perfectly. The instructor moves at a dynamic pace, so you're constantly engaged rather than watching demonstrations. Between cooking stages, you'll taste through Spanish wines—sparkling, white, and red varieties—with small plates keeping you satisfied. Once your paella is ready, everyone sits down to eat what you've made, paired with wine and finished with desserts.
