Tapas, Sangria & Local Brews—Your Perfect Afternoon
We’re excited to introduce a brand new culinary experience at GAB LAB, our Hands-On Tapas and Sangria Workshop, now with a local beer tasting included.
This is more than just a cooking class. It’s a fun, relaxed afternooon where you'll learn to prepare some of Spain’s most beloved tapas from scratch, think garlic shrimp, Spanish tortilla, and pan con tomate.

Perfect for solo travelers, couples, or groups looking to connect over good food and great conversation. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or just here for the experience, you’ll walk away with new skills, new friends, and some unforgettable memories.
Spots are limited, and this one’s already generating a lot of buzz.
