Where is Savour Academy?

The venue is located just off the beaten track in Hostafrancs (Sants). It’s a 5-minute walk from Plaça Espanya with its famous Magic Fountain and the MNAC at the foot of Montjuïc.

How Can I Book a Class?

Simply select the class you are interested in and check available dates in the calendar. Please note that the time slots are flexible, if you need to start a little earlier or later we can usually accommodate!

What If I Need to Cancel?

Your booking is unique as you reserve the venue and the host for the date, so in general refunds are not guaranteed as they mean losing another booking for that same date. However, each instance notified within a reasonable timeline is rescheduled/credited where possible.

Can I Combine Experiences?

Yes! If you want to combine two or more of the different offerings at Savour Academy, get in touch with your request and we can plan it together.

HERE’S TO THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

Every road taken has shaped this path…to cooking up food and wine events with you in Barcelona!

Savour Academy is my passion project in food and wine events in Barcelona.

Since 2017, Savour Academy has been evolving as a paella cooking school, wine academy and culinary hub for Barcelona residents and visitors to the city.

Here in my spacious gastronomy school, you can learn about local and international cuisine with wines of course!

About Zara

Hello, I’m Zara Patterson, originally from Northern Ireland but Barcelona has been my home since 2006.

Although my uni background is in PR and Events, my natural progression in gastronomy along with years of wine training has led to sommelier accreditations from WSET (Level 2 Award in Wines) and Gremi de Restauració (Sommelier Diploma).

At Escuela Hofmann I have undertaken their Michelin-star specialisation diploma in paella, to take my cooking classes at Savour Academy to the next level.

For the sustainability cause, I also received my Environmental Management qualification from Foment Barcelona.

With Savour Academy, I’m combining my love of creative culinary events and hosting in my favourite place in the world. I like to share original, sustainable and fun experiences; preferably with food and wine, based in Barcelona.

So let’s share some foodie stories and a glass of wine. Find me on Instagram or Facebook – I look forward to meeting you!
