food & drink

Savour Academy is Zara’s hands-on food-and-wine workshop, a space she built out herself from upcycled and vintage finds – which tells you most of what you need to know about the vibe. It’s less a stuffy cooking school than a kitchen-table afternoon with a very capable host.

The roster runs wide. On the food side there are paella classes, world-cuisine sessions and a grazing-board workshop; on the drinks side, wine tastings and pairings, blind tastings, and a sangria-and-tapas class. The signature, carried over from its wine-school days, is cava sabrage – learning to lop the top off a bottle with a single pass of a sabre, more thrill than spill. There’s also a foodie market tour for those who’d rather walk and eat than chop.

Classes run as open shared sessions or private bookings for small groups, and it’s a reliable pick for team-building or a birthday with something to actually do. Come hungry, leave with a party trick.
