“We loved our paella cooking class with Victor and Belen. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, and Victor explained every step clearly, so it was easy to follow even if you are not an experienced cook. The class was fun, informative and very well organized, and we ended up with an amazing paella that tasted like something from a top restaurant. It’s a great experience for anyone who wants to learn real Valencian paella and enjoy a few hours in good company”

Wine Tasting Experience with a Professional Sommelier in Valencia City Center

3.Wine Tasting Experience with a Professional Sommelier in Valencia City Center

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 244 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $75

Valencia city-center wine tasting with sommelier Tristan Van Doorn, cava aperitif, 5 Spanish wines, tapas, and petit fours in about 2 hours.

“As a wine lover, looked forward to this experience only to be disappointed. The event was way overbooked with about 35 people on this tiny terrace. The actual occupancy should’ve been max 10-15 people. Everyone was sardined in and couldn’t move nor hear the explanation. Speaking of sardines, the “high-end petit fours” were sardine paste on white bread and a whipped gorgonzola thingie with fig, along with plain white bread. All of which were served late in the tasting and were of questionable taste level. All in all, the wine selection was fine, the host provided some information although it was hard to hear with all the people there and…”

Small group private wine tour from Valencia to Utiel-Requena, two estates, English tastings, snacks, and comfy transport.

“This was a great half day tour to a less well known wine region of Spain. Elise was our guide and everything ran very smoothly. The tour itself was really well structured (we got to visit one of a larger wineries followed by a family winery) and Elise was excellent at facilitating the wine tastings. Her wine knowledge is very impressive and her tour would definitely be enjoyable to more seasoned wine appreciators as well as those who are just beginning to learn or simply enjoy a good glass of wine. Highly recommend this tour & Elise as your guide.”

The guide explained a lot of history and things to know about Valencia, while at the vineyard the family explained their history and the manufacturing of the wine. The atmosphere during the tasting was wonderful, as we were sitting on large tables in the garden between the old big trees and had opportunity to chat with each other and get to know different types of wine.”
