What To Expect
Widely recognized as Barcelona’s most comprehensive gastronomic journey, this experience sets itself apart through the perfect synergy of an unparalleled location, a fully immersive itinerary, and the intimacy of strictly limited small groups of up to 12 guests. Hosted by professional chefs in our, upscale culinary atelier, this high-end ritual begins alongside our Chef with an insider's exploration of the vibrant, historic aisles of the iconic La Boquería market.
Afterward, you will be welcomed into our exclusive cooking school hidden away in the majestic Plaça Reial, where the experience transitions into a sommelier-style tasting of 10 distinct regional Tapas. As our Chef guides you through Spain’s rich culinary geography, you will also master the art of crafting the perfect Sangría.
Next, under the undivided attention of our professional culinary team, you will dive into a fully hands-on masterclass to prepare a complete, traditional menu featuring Seafood Paella, authentic Spanish Omelet, and the delicate Crema Catalana. Designed to be completely inclusive, the entire menu can be seamlessly adapted to any dietary requirement while premium drinks flow continuously throughout.
