Dive into the bold flavors of Spain right in Győr. A pair of tapas-making workshops in early 2026 promise a relaxed, social deep dive into Spanish bites — tapas and pintxos — those small, flavor-packed plates that turn any get-together into a feast. Bring friends or family, roll up your sleeves, and learn how to build a table full of colorful snacks with simple ingredients and smart techniques. The sessions run at 9000 Győr, Szent István út (Saint Stephen Road) 8, with dates on Thursday, 2026.01.08 and again on 2026.02.04. Phone contact is available for booking and details.
On the tasting side, expect a spread that blends classic combinations and easy-to-repeat ideas. Think mushrooms with molten Camembert, slices of jamón nestled on toast, roasted peppers glossed with honey and a scatter of almonds, salmon with a silky egg cream on toast, and a chilled bowl of salmorejo — that thick Andalusian tomato soup that’s all velvet and sunshine. The point here isn’t rigid recipes; it’s learning how to compose bites that pop, how to balance salt, smoke, sweetness, acidity, and crunch, and how to plate them so a tray of five looks like twenty. You’ll pick up tricks for prepping ahead, toasting and oiling bread the right way, and layering garnishes so each piece is sturdy enough to be eaten standing up with a drink in hand.
What You’ll Make
– Mushroom, Camembert, jamón, toast: warm sautéed mushrooms with creamy Camembert and a whisper of cured ham on crisp bread — earthy, creamy, salty in one bite.
– Pepper, honey, almond: soft roasted peppers finished with floral honey and crushed almonds for sweetness and crunch.
– Salmorejo: the thicker cousin to gazpacho, served cool with egg or ham on top — a masterclass in ripe tomatoes and good olive oil.
– Salmon, egg cream, toast: a simple, elegant combo that nails brunch or aperitivo — silky egg spread, fresh salmon, a touch of citrus, and herbs.
– And more: the format encourages experimentation with seasonal ingredients, so you can adapt the lineup at home without stress.
Why It’s Worth Your Evening
Tapas and pintxos are Spain’s social engine — food designed for sharing that’s light on fuss and big on satisfaction. The workshop focuses on building a practical toolkit: quick marinades, how to handle cured meats and soft cheeses, the difference between a good and a great olive oil drizzle, and why a pinch of crunch can rescue a soft bite. You’ll finish with a platter you can recreate for parties, date nights, or weeknight “we deserve this” spreads. It’s also a low-pressure way to try new flavor combinations and learn when to add heat, when to add sweetness, and when to let good ingredients speak for themselves.
Where You’ll Be
Both sessions take place in Győr at 9000 Győr, Szent István út (Saint Stephen Road) 8, a convenient address with easy access from the city center. It’s a friendly, hands-on environment, geared toward curious beginners and confident home cooks alike. The team encourages questions, substitutions, and improvisation — because tapas thrive on what you have in the kitchen and what’s in season.
Planning Your Trip
If you’re traveling in just for the workshop, Győr makes a neat weekend. The city sits at the confluence of multiple rivers and blends a walkable historical center with green spaces and waterfront paths. Accommodation options range from tranquil, reed-roofed lakeside cottages perfect for summer swims and year-round fishing getaways, to city-center hotels tucked into Baroque-era buildings with quick access to cafés and sights. There are youth lodgings 8 km from downtown for budget-friendly stays amid clean air and countryside calm, including dining halls and lecture rooms available by arrangement. You’ll also find worker- and traveler-friendly rooms with shared kitchens, washing machines, free Wi-Fi, and guarded parking — practical if you’re on the move. In the heart of the old town, boutique hotels along Jedlik Ányos (Ányos Jedlik) Street offer elegant rooms, including family and eco-focused options, plus a Baroque suite if you’re in the mood for a splurge. Classic-style hotels around the city attract couples, families, and business travelers, often pairing hearty food with live music. For those who prefer quiet but central, family-run guesthouses sit a short walk from the historical core and about ten minutes from the train station — handy if you’re arriving by rail.
