What you will make
First, the sangria. You build it properly – the fruit, the wine, the balance of sweet and bitter – and set it aside to do its slow work while you cook. It will be poured with lunch, and yes, you made it.
Then the paella. This is a masterclass in the real thing: the sofrito that starts it, the rice going in, the stock, the saffron, and the discipline of not stirring. You learn to listen for the socarrat – that toasted crust on the base of the pan that separates a good paella from a great one.
And then the point of the whole day: the pan comes to the table, the sangria is poured, and lunch goes long. No rush, no second sitting. Sangria Sunday is built to be relaxed into.
You leave with the recipes for both, and a very good reason to buy a paella pan.

Sangria & Paella FAQs
Do we drink the sangria we make?
Yes. You build the sangria at the start of the class, it rests while you cook, and it is poured with the paella at lunch. Please drink responsibly and plan your drive home – the Fleurieu is not going anywhere.
Is lunch included?
Lunch is the class. The paella you cook comes to the table and the afternoon goes long. No rush, no second sitting.
How long does Sangria Sunday go for?
Two and a half to three hours, and it is built to be relaxed into rather than rushed through.
What goes in the paella?
The paella changes with the season and the venue. The booking page for each date confirms the exact menu, and dietary needs can be flagged when you book.
Where does Sangria Sunday run?
At Bungala House, the 1856 homestead at Yankalilla, and at Hastwell & Lightfoot, the small-batch winery in McLaren Vale.
Can we book a private Sangria Sunday for our group?
Yes, and it is a very good group format. Birthdays, hens parties, long-overdue catch-ups. Send a private group enquiry →
