Why Sobremesa?

In Spain, sobremesa means ‘over the table’. It’s the time spent at the table after a meal, talking, laughing, and enjoying the moment. That’s exactly the energy we wanted to capture with this special retreat, a place where incredible food meets great company, where you can learn, eat, and most importantly, have a good time. We’ve crafted a program full of hands-on learning, delicious meals, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel at home.

Rancho del Inglés, with its rich history, beautiful setting, and family roots, is the perfect place to bring Sobremesa to life. We can’t wait to welcome you, cook with you, and share the table together.

What is it?

Sobremesa is a unique culinary retreat in the Málaga Foothills

This August 13-17, escape to the Rancho del Inglés for a one-off culinary tour and retreat lead by chefs Milli Taylor and Nicola Lamb.

Packed with food experiences, from grilling and baking masterclasses to market tours, sun-drenched breakfasts to sunset aperitivos and long relaxed dinners, we can’t wait to welcome you for an unforgettable adventure.

What to Expect

Over the course of your stay, you’ll dive into a thoughtfully curated program of hands-on cooking workshops (with us and some special friends - to be announced soon!), expert-led masterclasses, and immersive food experiences. We’ll take care of all the food and drinks, so you can relax, kick back and enjoy the sunshine.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Andalusia, this retreat is all about the good things in life - beautiful scenery, great drinks, ample food, learning new skills and enjoying incredible meals in great company.
