This activity will end right where it started.
Bite into the history of French cheesemaking on this unique food tour in Paris. Make your way to a specialty cheese stop in the 3rd arrondissement, where you meet your guide. Don a protective suit designed to preserve the delicate cheeses, and descend into a cool cellar filled with ripening blocks, rolls, and wheels—some as large as 77 pounds (35 kg). 

Learn about the traditional art of cheesemaking and the importance of the maturing process as you admire the cellar’s supply. Taste several different varieties cut fresh from the block, such as Swiss Gruyère, bôfavre (a hard cheese from Switzerland's Jura Mountains), delicate Camembert, Etivaz (a hard cheese originating in the Alps), and Beaufort (a raw cow’s milk cheese). 

Alternate bites of fragrant fromage with sips of fantastic French wines paired for complementary flavors. Also, nibble on fresh baguettes and fruit to complete your gourmet tasting experience. After your tasting tour, emerge back into the streets of Paris as a newly minted wine-and-cheese connoisseur.

For the adventurous cheese lover

The host was incredibly personable and knowledgeable about cheese. Her wine selections were fantastic and you could taste and understand why they were paired together. However, i would say you need to be an adventurous cheese aficionado for this class. It was a lot of stinky and strong cheeses that I just couldn’t enjoy. No fault of the class-it just maybe wasn’t the best matched for my taste.

Hello @ndeitman, thank you very much for taking the time for this review :) we have around 150 different farm - raw milk produced cheeses, so there is taste for everyone but they are sometime a little stinky.

We choose this place just because I love cheese, but we met Agatha... She was not only a great host, she was amazing. We don't speak French, just a little bit of English and Spanish, so she decide to adjust to us give us the whole tour in Spanish, she was charismatic, funny and with tons of knowledge about cheese and wines. Make for me an my friends a memorable experience... By the way the prices on the store really good! Thanks Agatha

Excellent wine and cheese tasting in Paris
Matthew_O
, Sep 2021
There was just a small group the day of my tasting (3 of us with leader) and it was great. Very social and nice chatting with Agathe who was very knowledgeable on the cheeses and the wines (and one beer!) with a bit of storytelling and of course teaching us on how to best appreciate the experience. Very nice little shop. Agathe was very friendly as well. I would do this again as the options and combinations are endless.

I am a cheese novice and want to be able to enter a cheese shop and choose things I would enjoy. I learned about the families of cheese and what gives each its distinct flavor as well as how to pair them with a wine that enhances the tasting experience. Our guide and the participants were a delight. The workshop is my favorite Paris experience so far.
