Traditional Paella & Tortilla & Sangria

About this tour

Learn to cook two pillar dishes of Spanish cuisine in a Valencian home kitchen over two hours. You'll prepare sangría, tortilla, and paella Valenciana from scratch, guided by someone raised on these recipes. Cook alongside your host, taste wines throughout, then sit down to eat what you've made together. It's equal parts cooking class and cultural exchange, built around the belief that food tastes better when you've made it yourself.

Highlights

• Master paella Valenciana from a native guide
• Prepare sangría, tortilla, and paella in sequence
• Learn grandmother's techniques and regional secrets
• Wine tasting paired throughout the session
• Eat together at a shared table afterward
• Step away with recipes and confidence to recreate at home

What to expect

You'll start in the kitchen with Spanish wine and freshly made sangría, warming up to the work ahead. Your host walks you through building tortilla next—straightforward but important. Then comes paella: the sofrito base, stock timing, rice texture, that crucial socarrat at the bottom. Questions are encouraged; stories flow naturally between steps. Once everything's cooked, you move to the table to eat together and digest what you've learned. Two hours moves quickly when you're concentrating and eating well.
