About this tour
A 3-hour hands-on tapas cooking class where you'll learn to prepare Spanish small plates while tasting five different Spanish wines. You cook, eat what you've made, and meet other food enthusiasts in a group setting. Best for anyone keen to build practical cooking skills and explore Spanish flavours without needing prior experience.
Highlights
- Cook and eat three to four tapas dishes you've prepared yourself
- Taste five different Spanish wines paired throughout the class
- Unlimited wine pours — no fixed glass limits
- Small group format for interaction with other participants
- Dinner included; you eat what you cook
- Learn authentic Spanish techniques and ingredient knowledge
- Casual, hands-on setup — no lecture-theatre format
What to expect
You'll arrive and be introduced to your small group and the kitchen setup. An instructor will walk you through each tapas dish — explaining technique, ingredients, and the Spanish culinary traditions behind them — then guide you step-by-step as you cook. Between cooking stages, you'll taste wines selected to match the dishes you're building. Once each course is ready, you'll sit down together to eat and drink. The class wraps up after three hours; you'll have eaten a full dinner and sampled the wine lineup.
There's no standing-and-listening component — it's all practical. You're using knives, pans, and heat, so expect a warm kitchen and a bit of activity. The group eats together at the end rather than plating individually.

Good to know
This suits anyone who enjoys cooking, wants to learn Spanish food, or likes small-group dining experiences. No cooking experience needed. Note: you must declare any food allergies or dietary restrictions when booking — contact the venue beforehand to confirm they can cater to you. The class involves alcohol, so it's best for adults; infants can attend (prams welcome, and they sit on an adult's lap), but it's not designed as a family activity. Public transport is nearby if you're not driving. Gratuities are not included, so budget extra. The venue reserves the right to refuse entry to anyone appearing intoxicated or behaving disruptively.
