Paella Masterclass with Chef Javier Blanc

Paella Guys joins Bite of Burnaby 2026 with a special series of Paella Masterclasses led by Chef Javier Blanc, bringing people together around paella as it is meant to be enjoyed—shared, generous, and rooted in tradition. This immersive experience celebrates community, learning, and the vibrant spirit of Bite of Burnaby, all while enjoying exceptional food and great company.

Guided by Chef Javier Blanc, winner of Second Best Paella in the World at the prestigious Concurs Internacional de Paella Valenciana de Sueca, this hands-on masterclass explores both Seafood Paella and traditional Valencian Paella. Guests will cook alongside the chef while learning the fundamentals of paella-making, including ingredients, timing, and technique.

Throughout the class, participants will enjoy a selection of Spanish tapas and be introduced to the art of making sangria, adding another essential element of Spanish culinary culture to the experience.

Experience a true taste of Spain in Vancouver, where this paella masterclass combines cooking, conversation, and shared tables to offer a warm, social, and unforgettable culinary experience as part of the Bite of Burnaby Food Festival 2026.
