Explore Spanish cuisine during four days in seductive Seville. Our celebrated chef teaches you secrets of traditional Spanish cooking. The classes take place in the restaurant kitchen, where you explore tapas, gazpachos, fish and seafood, Spanish meat dishes, and desserts. We custom design a day or a week of cooking for you if you wish.
Your guide is a local gastronomy expert who first takes you on a tapas tour in historic Seville and the next day to two wineries in Jerez de la Frontera, the neighboring sherry-producing capital of Spain. While in Jerez, you will have a chance to visit the thirteenth-century Moorish Alcázar and eat in one of the city’s best authentic restaurants.
Authentic Andalusian Cuisine
Seville is the capital of Andalucía and arguably its most vibrant city. Seville’s historic core is among Europe’s largest, and reflects the city’s importance in Roman, Moorish, Jewish and imperial Spain. Formerly car-choked streets have become car-free and the bicycle and the tram are becoming commonplace modes of transport. As one of the leading flamenco centers in Spain, Seville is replete with quality guitar and dance performances.
Seville also boasts a dynamic food culture with an immense array of dishes on display in the tabernas and restaurants–tapas. The choices of tapas seem infinite as you wander from place to place.
Itinerary
4 Days/3 Nights
Day 1
Transfer to your deluxe hotel. Your specialist guide picks you up at the hotel and leads you on a tapas tour of the best spots in Seville. The tabernas, though often diminutive, astound with the dizzying variety of tapas covering the bars. Your guide knows the specialties of each place.
Day 2
Today’s visit is a must as the sherry bodegas are unique in the world. Jerez, whose name means sherry, is home to myriad bodegas–cavernous palaces housing stack upon stack of wine barrels. We tour our first bodega and learn the intricacies of making sherry, brandy and sherry wine vinegar. After sampling a number of different types of sherry, we move on to a small family-run bodega to sample some remarkable wines. We then visit the thirteenth-century Moorish Alcázar in Jerez and eat in one of the best local restaurants featuring authentic jerezano cuisine.
We return to Seville for our first cooking class, where we begin our exploration of Spanish and Andalusian cuisines. Dinner with wine will be in the instructor’s restaurant.
Day 3
Today you have a chance to visit Seville as you wish, taking in the magnificent cathedral or the Royal Alcázar, a 14th century Mudéjar palace, or simply strolling around the Barrio de Santa Cruz, formerly the Jewish Quarter. For lunch you can revisit some of the tapas bars from the first night, or we can recommend excellent restaurants in the center of town. In the late afternoon, you head to our second cooking class. Dinner with wine will follow the class in the restaurant.
