Ingredients, wine tasting, snacks, dessert and unlimited sangria are included at €65 per person. Children join with an adult. ## Overview Paella was born here in Valencia—and this hands-on cooking class teaches you the real recipe, not the tourist version. Learn to make traditional Valencian paella with meat and vegetables, the way local families have cooked it for generations. No shortcuts. Just authentic technique from Valencian chefs who grew up making it. Your experience starts at Ruzafa Market, a neighborhood gem where locals shop for fresh ingredients—far from the crowds of Central Market. Then, join our small-group workshop to master the secrets: achieving the perfect socarrat (the prized crispy rice crust), using Albufera rice from Valencia's own fields, and balancing saffron like a pro. While your paella simmers, enjoy a sangria-making workshop and sample traditional tapas. Then sit down to feast on your creation with local wine, salad, mistela, and homemade dessert. ## Key facts - Price: from €65 per person - Duration: 3h 30m - Rating: 4.97/5 from 1523 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: My First Paella ## What's included - Bottled water - Wine tasting - Snacks - Dessert - Bottomless Sangría - Soft drink - Tomato Salad ## Schedule - Runs: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat - Departures: 11:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-15 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point We will meet in Parroquia San Valero (in the stairs) at 11:00am Carrer del Pare Perera, 6 46006 Valencia ## Good to know - Wheelchair accessible - Children must be accompanied by an adult - May be operated by a multi-lingual guide ## How it compares in Paella Cooking Classes Ranked **#2 of 9** by Guidekin's weighted score (rating weighted by review volume).
