The Experience

You get picked up at your hotel in Sitges and driven to Alt-Penedes, where the day starts at a nine-generation cava winery. You'll taste their wines and cavas—one glass is included—and tour the production space before heading out on bikes. The vineyard ride is around 10 km of easy cycling through the Catalan landscape, the kind of pace that lets you take in the rows of grapes without racing through them.

After the ride, the paella class begins. You choose which type you want to make: seafood with prawns and squid, meat with a mix of proteins, vegetarian with seasonal vegetables, or black paella made with squid ink and served with a garlic sauce. The guide walks you through the technique—the rice, the broth, the timing, the tricks that separate a proper paella from a mediocre one. You're cooking the whole time, not watching a demonstration. By the end, you eat what you made, and you leave with the recipe written down so you can make it at home.

The guide speaks English or Spanish. Bottled water and a bike with helmet are provided. Hotel pickup and drop-off from Sitges are included in the price, so you don't arrange transport separately.

Is this one for you?At 5 to 6 hours, this class leaves room for a morning in Sitges or an evening meal elsewhere, so it fits into a day that isn't fully blocked. The mix of winery, cycling and cooking means you're doing three different things instead of sitting in one place, which suits travelers who want activity and variety in a single outing.
