Guided by two top chefs—Julius Jaspers and Ferry van Houten—you will discover the art of barbecue, enjoyment, and culinary refinement. Over the course of five days, you will learn the basics and much, much more. Naturally, you will learn grilling, cooking techniques (low & slow / hot & fast), smoking, filleting, and trussing, as well as how to prepare rubs, sauces, brines, and side dishes—plus plenty of tips and tricks. We also share our philosophy on good food and entertaining, covering everything from selecting ingredients to pampering your guests.
We host clear, daily workshops where you immediately put your knowledge into practice with hands-on experience. We kick off the first evening with a gourmet BBQ dinner—no effort required on your part. The following day, we head into the kitchen, visit the local market and fish auction, taste and select wines, and work together to prepare one lunch and two dinners. For the other meals, we dine out—ranging from tapas spots to the Michelin-starred restaurant Tula in Jávea.
Accommodation is provided at Casa Coline or the nearby Mi AlmaZara (****), where there is also plenty of time to relax and swim a few laps.
The package includes accommodation (based on double occupancy), all meals with paired wines (excluding lunch on day 4), and local transfers to Casa Coline and the restaurants (flights and transfers to Mi AlmaZara are not included).
