Max our host, was incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience extremely fun! The size of the group was just right and Max interacted with all of us. The cheeses that were chosen were a good mixture and the wines were well paired to the cheeses.

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! Merci!

My wife and I love cheese and wine but know very little about it. This tasting session has changed all that. The host is an absolute gentleman and has a great way of explaining what makes the cheese and wines special. The cheeses were incredibly tasty. I can honestly say that this has changed the way we think about cheese, wine and France. Thank you.

Wine and Cheese Tasting in Paris — Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in this wine and cheese tasting in Paris?

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.

Where does the wine and cheese tasting take place?

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.

How long does the wine and cheese tasting last?

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.

Is the wine and cheese tasting hosted in English?

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.

Do I need to be a wine or cheese expert to join?

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.

How many people are in the group?

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.

How much does the wine and cheese tasting cost?

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.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions, allergies, or non-drinkers?

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.

Can I bring children to the wine and cheese tasting?

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.

Can I buy the wines and cheeses after the 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.

Is this wine and cheese tasting worth it compared to a restaurant?

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.

How do I book the wine and cheese tasting in Paris?

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.

Is the experience suitable for solo travelers?

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.

What makes your wine and cheese tasting different from other food experiences in Paris?

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.
