Our family of 4 had such a fun time and learned how to make delicious paella at the same time. When they said "bottomless" wine, they weren't kidding. We met a lot of really nice people on this experience and the staff and instructors were phenomenal!”

“Amazing time! This class was superb. We started off with a tasting of olive oil which was a great surprise. Then went to the cooking stations and made four different tapas dishes…sausage bruschetta, stuffed peppers, garlic shrimp, and herb butter mushrooms. We then had a seated dinner downstairs with roast pork and potatoes. The pork was fork tender and the sauce was delicious. We ended with a light “meringue” style desert with orange marmalade. As stated in many other reviews, the wine never stops flowing! This was a great experience and one of the most fun things we did in Spain.”
