About this tour
A two-hour private cooking class or tasting menu at Villa Elena, a restored 1929 Seville mansion, led by Chef Elena Miguel. You'll learn to prepare or sample authentic Andalusian dishes using seasonal produce, with dinner included. The experience is tailored to your preference—hands-on cooking or guided tasting—and designed to sidestep the tourist circuit entirely.
Highlights
- Private session with chef holding 25 years' experience in top Spanish kitchens
- Historic 1929 villa setting in Seville with period architecture
- Choose between hands-on cooking class or gastronomic tasting menu
- Seasonal Andalusian ingredients, sourced fresh for each service
- Dinner included; no tourist groups or fixed menus
- All fitness levels welcome; accessible near public transport
- Learn regional cooking techniques and cultural context simultaneously
What to expect
You'll arrive at Villa Elena and be greeted by Chef Elena Miguel in the kitchen or dining space. If you've chosen the cooking class, you'll work alongside her preparing Andalusian dishes from scratch, handling ingredients and techniques while she guides you through each step. If you've opted for the tasting, you'll be seated whilst she prepares courses for you to sample and discuss.
Either way, dinner is served as part of the experience. The session lasts two hours total, giving you time to cook or taste, eat, and absorb both the food and the history of the villa and regional cuisine. You'll leave with hands-on knowledge of Andalusian flavours and methods—or a clear sense of what you've just eaten and why it matters locally.

Good to know
This suits anyone wanting genuine, non-touristy food education in Seville—whether you cook at home regularly or rarely step into a kitchen. Chef Miguel's experience means you'll get restaurant-level instruction, not a beginner's class. The experience is private, so it's also ideal if you're celebrating a special occasion or travelling with a partner who shares your food interests. Physically, it's low-impact and suitable for all fitness levels. No dietary restrictions or accessibility barriers are flagged in the source, but contact the provider to confirm if you have specific needs. Two hours is a tight schedule for both cooking and eating, so expect a focused, efficient pace rather than a leisurely afternoon. Dinner is included; other meals or drinks are not mentioned. Public transport nearby makes getting there straightforward.
