More about This Program

The program combines hands-on cooking lessons with visits and tastings at carefully selected markets and vineyards, plus, you’ll discover simple local hideaways and top Barcelona restaurants. We share with our guests an interest in authenticity and sustainability, and we always find seasonal delicacies, festivals, or customs to learn about.

Workshops vary each day, exploring Catalan food and wine in depth. You’ll learn techniques favored by local chefs and create delicious three-course meals. But you’ll also spend time outside the kitchen touring markets and tasting at specialty shops. This city’s shopkeepers fanatically curate superb collections of everything from cava, chocolates, and dried fruits to cheeses, ibérico hams, and salt cod. There’s plenty of tradition to be absorbed, but you’ll also enjoy what Barcelona’s most innovative chefs are doing.

Our menus are always enjoyed with wine, and participants will learn about the excellent and still somewhat undiscovered wines produced in Spain. You’ll taste with local experts and also make a day trip to vineyards to see how cava is made and explore the impressive reds being produced by a younger generation of winemakers who are having great success with their biodynamic wines.

The program is limited to 14 participants. The course begins on Sunday evening and ends the following Friday morning. The course fee of $2,995 covers five workshop days, including cooking classes, tastings and tours, three lunches, and three dinners. The fee also includes transportation and guiding on our wine country excursion. It does not include accommodation; we assist enrolled participants in selecting the best Barcelona hotels and apartments that suit their style and budgets.
