What to expect
You'll arrive to a welcome glass of cava and a brief introduction to Spanish culinary traditions. The class then moves through four courses: you'll make two tapas with seasonal ingredients first, then pan con tomate, followed by the centrepiece — a full seafood paella infused with saffron. A Mediterranean dessert rounds out the menu. Throughout, you'll receive hands-on guidance from your host and unlimited wine pairings from Spanish regions, with instruction woven around the cooking rather than lectures. You'll eat what you've made at the end of the session.
