While we are making the purchase we will tell you the origin of the paella and customs and culture of the Valencian people. Later we will walk for 8 minutes to reach the kitchen where we will hold a sangria workshop. The chef will be waiting us with some delicious tapas accompanied by sangria, beer, water... Then our chef will explain step by step the preparation of a vegetable paella and once finished we will sit down to taste it.

Amazing paella workshop, highly recommend. Very professional, clean and they all had a great sense of humour. Wonderful tapas, sangria, wine and of course paella. We did the veggie one. Thank you to Richard, Christina and Arian!
Our group of 16 made three different paellas and we had a FANTASTIC time! All three paella (two seafood and one vegetarian) tasted wonderful! Niko and his coworkers were VERY friendly, personable, informative and incredibly patient. We highly recommend your group go to My First Paella for a great night out.
What a great way to spend three-and-a half hours. Entertaining and informative from beginning to end - from touring the market to eating the paella. The workshop is very hands-on. At each stage of the process, participants are invited to do a task, but there is no pressure to do so. The leaders of the workshop are very good at what they do and obviously enjoy explaining the whys and wherefores of each step. Would do it again.
Really good fun, great knowledge and tuition with friendly staff who made it a pleasure. Food amd drinks were lovely
The whole experience was loads of fun. Market tour, drinking sangria and making paella. Everyone was included and got involved. Plenty to eat and drink. Great value for money and had a great time.
The whole MyFirstPaella team works really well together, is incredibly friendly and makes everyone there feel part of a really fun workshop. What’s more, there’s plenty of time for a bit of fun, they serve delicious tapas and there’s plenty of sangria to go round. A brilliant experience!
Friendly, fun, excellent. Definitely recommend going
The guides/hosts/Chefs were so nice & funny. It really felt like cooking with friends, even though I joined the class alone. Great experience & Paella
Excellent cooking class where you learn what ingredients to buy at the market and the how to cook paella. It was very educational to learn how the seasonings and the foods are used. Also sangria and jamon, cheese and potato tapa are served while you are cooking. Also water is available. The chefs speak English very well and were very friendly. Dont hesitate and book this class.
A good learning experience about Paella cooking and local customs. A fun time with a mixed group of people. A tasty meal at the end with generous alcoholic and soft drinks.
Megan and Luna are amazing! I’ve been on dozens of excursions and this one was been the absolute best ever! Megan and Luna made our experience fun, engaging, and enjoyable! This is hands down the best experience ever!!!
Excellent workshop! Paella was really good and the atmosphere amazing!
This was such a fun experience. The paella was delicious and they were very generous with the wine and sangria. This is a very fun thing to do if you’re visiting or even living here!
This class was a great experience, the instructors were friendly and very informative. The tapas were delicious and plenty of alcohol for all. The paella cooking was good fun and all class members were involved. I would highly recommend this class for anyone wishing to learn to cook paella in a fun way.
It was an excellent experience. Delicious food and incredible companionship.
Incredible experience for visiting a a new country
This was a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this if you’re visiting Valencia Ana and Cristina were excellent instructors! I cannot say how much we enjoyed it!
Anna and Christina were lovely. Very gregarious and inviting. Class was very informative and the paella we made was delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. My parks
This was so amazing! Jose, Anna, and Christina were absolutely amazing and we were so glad we did this instead of sleeping in! Truly the most gracious hosts - I want to hang with them!!
Fun time, Anna and Christina made it fun and we met some very nice people. Fun cooking experience
12/10 would recommend this experience. I came with my mom and a family friend and we met many new friends in our cooking group (there were 14 of us, so we got split into equal groups with 4-5 people per paella which made so we each could contribute and cook without being overwhelmed). The guides were amazing, the Russafa market tour was lovely, the tapas and sangria before the workshop was delicious, the cooking class was informative and fun, and we ended up with a fantastic paella (plus some extra dessert and drinks)! It's definitely worth the time and money. If you are looking for a fun, chill experience that supports locals, this is a great choice.
Fantastic experience. So fun and great people.
We had an awesome time with an awesome Team
