This is the second cooking class I’ve attended here and can’t speak highly enough of the experience. Pau is a wonderful guide, and the other staff are warm and welcoming. We got to cook tapas from all parts of Spain and made some great friends in the class with which to share the experience. The unlimited wine is truly unlimited and you get to eat the tapas as you go as well as a main course at the end. Worth repeating.

This will remain a HIGHLIGHT of our trip! Nicko and Benny made this an amazing experience. The food, the wine, the music, all of it was TOP NOTCH.
What I especially appreciated was that they took such great care of my allergy concerns.
We highly recommend this experience.

I love taking cooking classes on my travels around the world and this one was fantastic. Benji at The Cooking Clubhouse was a lot of fun and did a fantastic job explaining the different regions of Spain, what we were making and the flavors of each unique region of the country. There are wines he recommends and there are non-alcoholic beverages too. I would’ve been happy with just the tapas but the team also prepares a main course and a dessert for you to enjoy at the end of the class. I couldn’t finish the entree but the dessert, a light and airy crema Catalàna was incredible. We made 5 tapas as part of the class. Our menu included mini chorizo sausages cooked in apple cider, pan con tomate, stuffed peppers, garlic shrimp and sautéed mushrooms over bread.

The customer service was phenomenal, the actual facility was gorgeous, and the food was divine. They had the best playlist and amazing wine- if it wasn’t the last night of our trip we would have rebooked another class!

This was one of my favorite things while in Madrid! Benny was our chef/instructor that evening. Class holds about 20, but there were only 3 of us! What a wonderful private and intimate cooking experience!

This was a super fun night out. The bottomless experience was definitely a plus. My glass was never empty! We learned so many tips about how to make the sauces and side dishes.
The main dish was odd though . It was like a meatloaf like dish with pork that I have never seen in any Spanish place before . (and I lived in Spain for two years ) The tapas were the main hit for my friend and daughter and me! I highly recommend it.
Michelle_B, Apr 2026
Book this experience don’t hesitate!!! So much fun with our entire group and Benny our chef was knowledgeable and made sure we all had a good time. The food was delicious, definitely do the olive oil and jamón tasting portion. Delicious!!!

This is a must do event when visiting Madrid! This was my second class with them and it was wonderful. Food and company was great! Even if traveling alone don’t hesitate to take the class.

Really enjoyed the evening. Made 5 different recipes. Well run and totally bottomless drinks.
Great meal at the end. Benji- a danish cook lead our session and was fun and informative. A nice way to have a meal and to interact w fun people

My adult son and I thought this was a top highlight of our time in Madrid. Benny and his team of chefs were professional, helpful, and most of all, fun. Each cooking station was meticulously organized making it easy for us to focus on the cooking. We ate dinner afterward in a lovely rustic brick room with loads of ambiance and had wonderful conversation with other participants. With the recipe book provided after the class, we are excited to make the recipes at home for the rest of the family!

We actually did the paella experience not the tapas and it was wonderful. Benjy our chef/instructor was so welcoming, knowledgeable, and really made the experience something special. From the beginning to the end he explained what we were doing, all of the ingredients were prepared and ready in small bowls to be added so that we could focus on the cooking and not prep. I made the seafood and my partner made the chicken and both were wonderful. After they cooked, we sat down to eat them with other foods prepared by Benjy that were all good— not to mention the wine pairings. And it was my partner’s birthday that made it all the more special.

An extremely enjoyable experience with friendly and happy staff. Turning out 5 separate Tapas was a rewarding experience and the way it was set up made for nice conversation with newfound friends.
Will have fun memories of the evening and with the recipes in hand will anticipate taking such to my kitchen.

This was a very fun cooking class! Learning to flambé was a blast and made for some fantastic photo ops.
It’s fun because you make a few small dishes so you get to eat along the way. It was so well organized with our hosts cleaning up as we went answering questions and serving wine.
Definitely a highlight of our trip to Madrid
Laura_S, Nov 2025
Fantastic time! We enjoyed making and eating the various tapas. The dinner portion served afterwards was also great.
Beth_S, Nov 2025
Super fun class. Very reactive. Learned some great techniques and what we made was all delicious! Staff was very helpful and we made new friends in the class
Peter_N, Oct 2025
Amazing experience! The location, staff and class were great. A must do if you are looking for a cooking class in Madrid. Inez and team did an excellent job teaching and educating while having fun. 5 stars!
JaShon_M, Oct 2025
It was great!!! I’d definitely do it again!! The hosts were awesome, and they were very accommodating to people’s dietary preferences and restrictions. If you’re on the fence about booking and you see this review, BOOK IT!
Andrea_S, Aug 2025
Amazing time! This class was superb. We started off with a tasting of olive oil which was a great surprise. Then went to the cooking stations and made four different tapas dishes…sausage bruschetta, stuffed peppers, garlic shrimp, and herb butter mushrooms. We then had a seated dinner downstairs with roast pork and potatoes. The pork was fork tender and the sauce was delicious. We ended with a light “meringue” style desert with orange marmalade.
As stated in many other reviews, the wine never stops flowing! This was a great experience and one of the most fun things we did in Spain.
Ruth_H, Aug 2025
What a fantastic evening!! I would 100% recommend you to do this cooking class. The staff are so friendly, attentive (always topping up our glasses haha) and great at explaining the cooking instructions. The food was amazing that we made but the surprise two courses at the end that was made by the chefs… were exceptional!! What a beautiful setting in the kitchen area and also downstairs where we ate our food and drank some more delicious wine. I can’t speak highly enough of The Cooking Clubhouse, I had a wonderful evening, and as a solo traveller it was a great way to spend an evening enjoying great food and wine with lovely people!
Christopher_E, Jul 2025
Fun evening, great food, excellent instruction and festive atmosphere. Cooking class followed by a sit down meal. Great experience, fun for the whole family.
DeAnna_K, Jul 2025
I adored this! The hosts (ines/benji) were so accommodating based on my food preferences and made the experience so fun. I met amazing people and felt like I have a lot to take back to cook for my family!!
Marlena_W, Jun 2025
Loved it so much we booked it twice! The tapas class was our favorite but we enjoyed the paella class too! 5* experience. Special kudos to Jaime- we loved him. Great value experience.
Paul_C, Jun 2025
Don’t eat before you arrive. The Tapas you cook is amazing. We travel a lot and each time we like to immerse ourselves into a cooking class. This is by far the best one we have ever done for value for money, sensational food and fun. Benito was fantastic with his knowledge, passion and instructions. The vibe was relaxed with bottomless wine and his music playlist. After finishing cooking and eating your Tapas you head downstairs into a beautiful rustic dining room for a delicious main course and desert AND more wine. They give you the recipes of all the food from the day and you can purchase the beautiful olive oil you use in the recipes if you wish. Thank you for the 5 star experience.
rhea_a, Jun 2025
This class is a must if you want to know the history and experience the origin/difference of tapas in each part of the country. Bottomless wine, great food and interactive company, you can’t go wrong with that.
Jeffrey_G, Jun 2025
We had a great time with the family cooking together. The instructors were very knowledgeable and were entertaining. We would definitely do this again.
