After a relaxed breakfast, we travel to the atmospheric port city of Cádiz.

Among the colorful stalls, we enjoy a tasting of delicious tapas and select the ingredients for our evening menu together.
In the afternoon, we arrive at a unique cooking location. Under the guidance of Jan Gerard, we cook a festive three-course menu with passion and flair. In small groups, we prepare dishes that reflect the soul of Andalusia, with plenty of room for creativity and good company.
In the evening, we take our seats at a beautifully set table and serve our own creations, accompanied by excellent local wines. An evening full of flavor, connection, and warmth—a culinary highlight of the trip.
Day 3 ~ Masterclass & Culinary Celebration
After a relaxed breakfast, we depart for Jerez de la Frontera, where we will pay an exclusive visit to Bodega Tradición, one of the oldest and most renowned sherry houses in Spain. During a tour of the historic cellars, we will taste various types of sherry, from light Manzanilla to rich Pedro Ximénez, while the scent of oak and grapes fills the air.
Afterward, we continue to the charming Le Cheval winery near Rota. Among the vineyards, a local chef will share the art of Paella, followed by a relaxed lunch on the estate overlooking the hills.
In the evening, we will enjoy an atmospheric farewell dinner at a local restaurant, where the flavors of Andalusia come together: Jamón Ibérico, chorizo, olives, and olive oil, followed by fragrant Moorish tagines. During this special evening, Jan Gerard will surprise everyone with a personal gift and a certificate of participation—a warm conclusion to an unforgettable trip.
