About this tour
Roll up your sleeves in a Madrid kitchen to master paella from scratch with a professional chef, then blend your own sangria to pair with the finished dish. Over three hours, you'll learn the techniques behind Spain's most celebrated rice dish while crafting a batch of sangria you can actually taste throughout the session. The lesson wraps with aperitivos and a proper sit-down meal: tortilla, jamón ibérico on toasted bread, and your freshly made paella.

What to expect
You'll start in a compact working kitchen where the chef walks you through paella's foundations: toasting rice, layering flavours, achieving the socarrat crust. You're not watching—you're stirring, tasting, adjusting seasoning. Midway through, you shift focus to the sangria workshop, experimenting with fruit and wine ratios before sampling your version. While the paella finishes, you'll nibble on Spanish omelette and ham toast. The session ends with everyone seated, eating together, drinking what you made.
