Wine and Cheese Tasting in Paris
A Small-Group Experience in Montmartre, Hosted by a Local Cheesemonger — from 59€ with code CHEESE






About the Session
🧀 During this wine and cheese tasting in Paris, I’ll guide you through 8 French cheeses, chosen for their variety and their perfect ripeness on the day.
🍷 We’ll pair them with 5 French wines, generously served, including one sparkling, so you really feel how a pairing can change a cheese (and the other way around).
📍 The tasting takes place in Montmartre, in a cozy stone-walled room, just the kind of place where it’s easy to relax and enjoy good food.
👏 It’s a small group experience (max 10 people), fun and interactive, with plenty of time to ask questions and share a few laughs.
🌟 You’ll leave with real, simple tips about French cheese and wine pairing, plus a few stories you’ll love telling back home.

It was great! Max is super sweet and really funny! I learned interesting things about wine and cheese, but not that boring stuff. I had a great time and got along well with the group. At the end, Max even gave me a few tips on good restaurants in Paris. A very high recommendation from me.🤭

It’s such a wonderful and unique experience, and it opens new doors to the combination of cheese and wine to me. I would recommend everyone to give this a try — all of the cheese and wine taste amazing and it’s not something you can normally find in a restaurant! Definitely a must-do for cheese lovers!

Wine and Cheese Tasting in Paris — Frequently Asked Questions
This experience includes a guided tasting of 8 carefully selected French cheeses and 5 French wines — including one sparkling wine. Throughout the session, I share stories, tasting tips, and simple pairing logic so you leave with real knowledge you can use anywhere. It’s a small-group format, fully interactive, and designed for all levels — from complete beginners to passionate food lovers.
The tasting takes place at 98 Rue Marcadet, in the 18th arrondissement of Paris — in the heart of Montmartre. We host the session in a cozy stone-walled room, just steps from our fromagerie. It’s easy to reach by metro (Jules Joffrin, line 12) and pairs perfectly with a walk around Montmartre before or after.
The experience lasts 2 hours. That’s enough time to taste each cheese slowly, compare textures and aromas, and really understand how pairing works — without feeling rushed. Most guests tell us it goes by too fast.
Yes — the entire tasting is hosted in English. This makes it ideal for international visitors, expats, and tourists who want a fun, authentic French food experience in Paris without the language barrier.
Not at all. This tasting is designed for curious beginners and food lovers, not connoisseurs. I explain everything in simple, accessible terms — no intimidating vocabulary, no snobbery. If you can eat cheese and drink wine, you’re perfectly qualified.
The tasting is limited to 10 guests maximum. This small-group format keeps the atmosphere relaxed and conversational — everyone gets to ask questions, taste at their own pace, and interact with the other guests.
The public price is 69€ per person. This includes 8 carefully selected French cheeses, 5 French wines (including one sparkling), and 2 hours of guided tasting in a small group. Book directly on our website with the promo code CHEESE and get 15% off — bringing the price down to 59€. Booking direct is always the cheapest option. For private groups and corporate events, we offer custom pricing with volume discounts — contact us for a personalised quote.
Yes, in most cases. If you have a food allergy (including lactose sensitivity), a dietary preference, or if you’d rather not drink alcohol, let us know when booking and we’ll adapt. We offer premium non-alcoholic pairings for guests who prefer not to drink wine.
Yes — children are welcome. Since the legal drinking age in France is 18, we offer premium non-alcoholic beverages so younger guests can enjoy the experience alongside the cheese tasting.
Yes. After the session, you can purchase wines and cheeses directly with us at the tasting room or at our fromagerie at 2 Rue Ferdinand Flocon, just a few steps away.
If you want more than just a good meal, yes. A restaurant serves food — this tasting teaches you how to taste. You’ll understand why certain pairings work, discover French cheese regions you’ve never heard of, and leave with stories and knowledge that stay with you long after the trip.
You can book directly on this page — it’s the fastest and cheapest option (15% discount with code CHEESE). We also appear on GetYourGuide and Viator if you prefer booking through a platform you already know. Availability is updated in real time, so you’ll see exactly which dates and times are open.
Absolutely. Solo travelers are some of our most enthusiastic guests. The small-group format makes it easy to meet people, and I always make sure everyone feels included from the first minute. Many solo visitors end up exchanging recommendations with the rest of the group by the end.
A few things set us apart. First, I’m an actual cheesemonger — I select and age the cheeses myself every morning from our fromagerie in Montmartre. Second, the group is tiny (max 10 people), so you get real interaction, not a lecture. Third, everything is in English, relaxed, and built around curiosity rather than expertise. No script, no theater — just great products and honest conversation.
How I Select the Cheeses for Your Tasting 🧀

A Fromagerie in Paris, Over 100 Cheeses… and One Mission!
Every morning, in the heart of Paris, I step into my fromagerie with one goal: selecting the 8 perfect French cheeses for today’s wine and cheese tasting. Creamy Brie, bold Roquefort, delicate goat cheese, aged Comté — each one tells a story of craftsmanship, terroir, and tradition.
Handpicked French Cheeses, Just for You
I select only cheeses at peak ripeness — 24-month-aged Comté with deep nutty notes, raw milk goat cheese from a small farm, a buttery melt-in-your-mouth Camembert. Every cheese is carefully curated to create an unforgettable cheese tasting experience in Paris.


A Unique Wine and Cheese Pairing Experience
The cheeses are picked to pair beautifully with our 5 French wines — a sensory journey from Normandy to the Alps, from the Basque Country to Burgundy. Each bite is an invitation to explore the diversity of French cheese and wine culture.
