How to choose

Formats: cheese-and-wine pairing tastings in a cellar or fromagerie; French wine flights by region; cheese-shop and market tastings; Champagne and cheese evenings; combined with charcuterie and bread.
What you’ll taste: raw-milk cheeses (Comté, Brie, Roquefort, chèvre and more) paired with reds, whites and Champagne from France’s regions.
The French art of pairing
France has hundreds of cheeses and one of the world’s great wine cultures, and a Paris tasting brings them together. A good session moves through a flight of cheeses – a nutty aged Comté, a bloomy Brie or Camembert, a blue Roquefort, a fresh chèvre – each matched to a wine, with a guide explaining why a Sancerre loves goat’s cheese and why Champagne cuts through a triple-crème. Add charcuterie and a baguette and you have the essence of French eating.
Where and how
Tastings run in atmospheric caves (cellars) and fromageries across the city, often in the Marais or the Latin Quarter, in small groups with an English-speaking expert. Some focus on Champagne, others on a tour of French wine regions. It’s the perfect early-evening apéritif, and pairs beautifully with a Paris food tour or a wider Paris wine tasting.
