Spanish Cuisine

Los Olivos
September 6–8, 2024

California Culinary Retreats weekends are all inclusive. That means all your meals and drinks, your cooking classes, accommodations, materials, and take home items are included in the price. All you have to do is get yourself to your retreat, and leave the rest to us!

The Weekend in Brief

This weekend we will explore the vibrant cuisines of Spain. We will have hands-on cooking classes that focus on regional Spanish cuisine. Learn how to make iconic dishes such as paella and churros, as well as lesser know Basque and Catalan specialties like chicken piperade and Romesco sauce. We will have an entire class devoted to tapas, and enjoy sangria by the pool.

When you are not cooking, you are free to relax, read a book in the garden, go for a walk in the hills, or explore the property. Saturday evening, your Chefs will prepare a delicious sit-down dinner for you.

The retreat begins on Friday afternoon between 4 - 6pm, and we conclude our weekend Sunday after brunch.
