This was by far the most fun we had in Madrid! The staff were wonderful and we made new friends. The paellas were delicious!! And the cava was flowing. Would definitely do it again and now I want to take a cooking class in every country I visit.

When they say bottomless they mean it. Not once did my cup go dry. Better however is the class. The staff are attentive and helpful. We made a delicious pan of paella. What was nice was the fact that each group made a different version of paella. I can’t recommend enough.

Excellent class! Javier and his team were great. The group - mostly Americans and Canadians - were split into 4 subgroups each making a different paella. We had excellent Spanish wine as we cooked. After we were done we all shared a wonderful meal of all 4 paellas and more wine. So much fun!

We’re so glad we picked The Cooking Club for our first cooking class ever… and in beautiful Madrid of all places!! Nico was excellent and made our Paella making experience so attainable and memorable. We enjoyed getting to meet new friends from around the world and truly loved our time to the fullest — the calamari sandwich was the star of the show and bottomless cava … should I keep going? Just know this is your sign to book this experience. You won’t want to leave towards the end.
Nico and team, you’re the best!!

This cooking class is like no other we have experienced. It starts high energy with glasses cava flowing and the music pumping as the instructions begin. The instructors had perfect timing to check in with us at our cooking station to guide us through the experience. Once the pallela was ready to cook on its own we were led to a beautiful table for all of the students to continue conversing and share an incredible meal together.

This was such an enjoyable experience. Niko and Benji were so much fun. Very personable and engaging. Everything was clean, well organized and prepared ahead of start. The appetizers, paellas, and wine were delicious. We also enjoyed the music and unlimited cava. We will recommend this activity to all of our friends.

4 paellas and lots of great wine. Tremendous value. Dinner and wine like we had would cost over $100 per person!
Alison_M, Apr 2026
Lots of fun, great cooking tips and plenty of wine🤣 from start to finish. I would highly recommend for an afternoon or evening in Madrid !
Diane_b, Apr 2026

You are cooking, so don’t dress up.
It was fun!! It moved along quickly. Food was delicious. Everything was prepped ahead of time.
Susan_R, Apr 2026
The class was really great. Instructions are easy to follow and met a wonderful group of people that made the experience that much more fun. The only thing I missed was not having chorizo in any of the recipes.
Rhonda_L, Apr 2026
This was an amazing tour. The production of the food was great but the best part was meeting all of the people. I would highly recommend this wonderful experience. So fun!
Jill_J, Apr 2026
This class was just perfect. We had a great mix of people from all stages of life in with us. Especially fun to do when visiting your child who is studying abroad. Not only are you cooking and learning, but then you get to sit down for dinner afterwards. Would recommend this for everyone.

Our time at the Cooking Clubhouse was fantastic and we wouldn't have changed a thing. Benji and Nico were the consummate hosts: warm, welcoming, and enthusiastically passionate about what they do. The class itself is a great blend of education, social interaction with the other paella makers, and lively music that keeps the atmosphere fun and light. With the cooking done, we ventured downstairs to a hidden dining area where we enjoyed our delicious paellas and wine, fantastic appetizers, and traditional desserts. Benjy and Nico confidently managed everyone's dietary needs with discretion and expert care. We are grateful to have spent the day at the Cooking Clubhouse and for the memories we made.

Paola was the most perfect host! She did an amazing job and Benji and Nico too made the experience so amazing!!! This was the most incredible experience and should not be missed while in Madrid!

From start to finish this cooking class was really fun! Our chef/teacher was lovely and our paella was delicious and so fun to make! I took my daughter and we both said it was one of the best things we did in Madrid! Would recommend this highly with some friends or family as it’s a fun afternoon together! The atmosphere was fun, clean and top notch as well! Highly recommend!!!

We have a lovely time at the cooking school. We were a small group but had a lot of fun! I can’t wait to make paella at home.
Meredith_P, Mar 2026
Loved this class soooo much! This is a Madrid must for any foodies planning a trip and I recommend adding the market tour.
Alexandra_P, Mar 2026
This experience was so much fun! Benjie was outstanding from the moment we walked in! He was kind, professional, funny and kept the day so enjoyable. Everyone in the class was friendly! It was nice to be able to try all of the paellas at the end plus some apps and of course more wine!
Denise_P, Mar 2026
My friend and I had the best experience learning to make paella! My friend who has dietary restrictions and isn’t much of a cook, enjoyed it immensely. Was one of the top highlights of our trip to Madrid must do.
Dylan_P, Mar 2026
Benjy was a great teacher and it was such a fun class! The paella was delicious and the rest of the food was fantastic too! Throw in the wine and it was well worth the price!
erica_a, Mar 2026
This was one of our favorite experiences of our entire trip to Madrid! From the moment we walked in we were welcomed with warmth and education of the history of the building then on to the cooking class which was so fun! Enjoying our paella that we cooked paired with wine and the delicious deserts they gave us made this experience a 10!
Kristie_B, Mar 2026
A wonderful afternoon spent making paella. Started with local nearby market visit followed by paella cooking with instruction from Chef Benny. We laughed, danced, and drank wine while meeting other travelers interested in local cuisine. Experience finished sharing our dishes to taste in a historic cellar with additional appetizers and dessert prepared by the staff. We enjoyed this afternoon while in Madrid and would definitely recommend .
Robyn_C, Feb 2026
Fantastic afternoon with Chef Benji and the team at the Cooking Clubhouse! Started with a sparkling glass of Cava (the first of many) as soon as we walked in to the beautiful space. Their team did all the mis en plas for us in advance so we got to just create the meal. There were meats, cheese, bread, etc. waiting for us to nibble on at the cooking stations. Our class of 7 made 4 different delicious paellas, which we ate in a lovely space downstairs - along with 4 different wines, 2 starters, and 2 desserts prepared by the Clubhouse team. This was our favorite adventure during our trip to Madrid. So grateful to Chef Benji who created the most fun (and informative!!) atmosphere! 150% recommend!

We were two friends and the cooking class was very fun would definitely recommended it to friends and family
Amber_W, Feb 2026
This is a great experience!! My Husband and I did this experience together! The food was delicious! The ingredients were fresh and it’s very hands on class. Super interactive and the staff is great! As a group we were able to make over four different paellas and each one was delicious! We would 100% do this experience again! And a plus for the unlimited wine ! We also purchased an apron to commemorate our experience in Madrid!
K_M, Feb 2026
What an amazing class. This one was small and we met 2 new people with similar interests. Fantastic day our Chef Youseff was outstanding!!
jim_k, Jan 2026
We highly recommend this class. Coming to Madrid from California, we definitely wanted to try Paella. What better experience than to learn to make it as well! 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!
Beth_R, Dec 2025
This was an outstanding way to spend a few hours this afternoon! I was so impressed with Chef Benji. I love to cook, but even if you don't, you should do this workshop! They had everything prepped, so most of our cooking consisted of stirring. The wine was flowing & the tunes were rockin'. And the desserts they served us after we tried our 3 paellas were so yummy, too! All-around amazing way to spend an afternoon & have a late lunch/early dinner.
Doug_S, Nov 2025
This class was so much fun! The instructions were great. The paella turned out better than I thought it might. If you are super hungry or are a big eater, this might not be for you. Each pair makes one of four paellas to share with the group. There was not enough of all of them to really share.
