About this activity
Meet your bilingual guide at 10am at the Valencia School of Rice and Paella, and walk together to Central Market for a guided tour. Spend approximately one hour exploring this bustling market and collecting the necessary ingredients for your recipe. A hub of Valencia agriculture, the best quality ingredients for paella can be found here. Around 11am, return to the kitchen and learn the process of cooking a real Valencia Paella (the original Paella), which you will then cook for yourself.

Relax and have fun as you cook with your group and learn from an expert chef about the makings of an authentic Paella. During the cooking process, indulge in a tasting of Valencia white wine served with a traditional appetizer. Once finished cooking the paella, sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Complement your meal with a taste of Valencia red wine. The paella will be served accompanied by several starters and a traditional and delicious dessert.

Upon completion of the experience, you will receive a diploma certifying your new cooking skills. Experience ends at the cooking school at approximately 2:30pm.

This "class" was a disaster from the start. The teacher was 15 minutes late and we waited at the pick up point and we waited in the rain. We never got a market tour.. She was constantly on her cell phone. we make some pasta but the overall meal was bad. It was at her home with lots of family drama - very uncomfortable. She was off in the kitchen most of the time and we sat at a table with family members. The meal was eaten far from the pick up point and we had to pay to get back. We suggest the teacher find another line of work.

We were a group of 4 representing the range of cooking abilities from experienced to inexperienced. We absolutely loved our class! It began with an awesome trip to the open Market with our wonderful and informative guide to purchase all of the necessary ingredients for our meal. At the cooking school, we were taught by a funny, knowledgeable and animated chef, Carolina, who taught us enthusiastically and well. Later, we enjoyed our delicious Paella with excellent wine pairings. This was a highlight of our trip!

My husband and I were visiting Valencia for a few days and wanted to treat ourselves to an authentic cooking class that cherishes the local food....Paella! This class did not disappoint, from shopping for fresh ingredients to cooking using our 5 senses [smell, taste, seeing, touching and hearing] on how this complex dish was made.... NO measuring! Time well spent understanding the cooking process and the importance of each ingredient, plus they made it really fun. Thank you for a great lesson and an even better time. Met some really cool people who were also traveling and shared places to see while in Spain. Highly recommend this class.

I've done this class before and had such a blast that I brought some friends this time. Good food and good times along with a little history.

I took my wife and mother in-law to this class. We were a little late and almost missed our departure to the market as the place was a little challenging to find. I suggest giving yourself plenty of time to find it in advance. Other than that, our guide/chefs were absolutely amazing and entertaining. They showed us how to make a traditional Valencia Paella and explained to us the history. We had plenty of time to socialize with the group over tapas and wine as the Paella cooked. I would highly recommend this class for anyone looking for a traditional and entertaining experience in Valencia!

What a wonderful experience for our entire family! We were looking forward to this class during our three week trip to Spain and it did not disappoint. We visited the school with our two children (ages 7 and 9), and they were able to participate in many ways. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit to the market, the prep, and the wine and food! Chef was amazing. Thank you so much for a fantastic experience.

What fun! Great time with other great people. We were late in finding the locale easy to do in Valencia so missed the market part but visited there later. The class is fun, interesting and delicious. The chef spoke Spanish and Maria translated. This includes the class, delicious food, wine and photos emailed to you from the experience. Highly recommended.

Loved it! We did not notice we should select the sea food paella 24 hours before, but we could have the vegetarian one. The atmosphere was just great we enjoyed meeting the people round the world. We had very good explanation about the ingredients in the market and for each step of making the paella. Finally we had very good lunch with wine and our own prepared paella.
