About this tour
Learn to cook paella from scratch at The Paella Club, Barcelona's contemporary cooking venue. You'll work at your own station under chef guidance, building the dish layer by layer before sitting down to eat what you've made alongside wine pours. The 2.5-hour session covers technique and tradition, finishing with a five-course spread and Cava to celebrate your handiwork.
Highlights
- Cook your own paella at a dedicated station
- Five-course meal featuring your finished dish
- Unlimited wine and opening Cava included
- Small groups, maximum 16 participants
- Professional chefs guide technique throughout
What to expect
You'll arrive at a working kitchen space and receive your own cooking station with full equipment. Chefs demonstrate each step—toasting rice, building sofrito, layering stock—then you replicate the process. Expect hands-on instruction without being rushed; there's room to ask questions and adjust as you go. Once your paella reaches the critical socarrat stage (the crispy bottom layer), you'll move to the dining area. The five-course menu unfolds over the next hour, wine flowing freely between courses. It's more workshop than performance.
