Return Details

Returns to original departure point
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.

Really enjoyed this experience, we tasted 8 cheeses in total and 3 wines and they were all so tasty. We had a tour of the shop and refrigerated cheese room and the guide was extremely knowledgeable, and we learnt new techniques on how to experience the tastes better! It was overall very fun, and worth every penny. Would 100% recommend.

Delicious & informative, even (especially?) for the uninformed

We had little to no knowledge about the details of cheese-making and the different flavors that could be brought out in different cheeses. Damien did a wonderful job guiding us through the process of maturing cheese and what notes to look for. The tasting itself was great - a tour of sheep's, goat's, and cow's milk cheese, dry and wet, with several delicious French wines. There was only two of us with Damien so it was perhaps a bit more intimate than it would normally be, but I can imagine it's just as good with a larger group. Paroles de Fromagers is interesting to stop by even if you don't do the tasting - more than a few people would stop by the window to ogle the cheeses while we were there! Highly recommended!

If you love cheese and wine, then make a point to do this tour. Our tour guide was great! He taught us so much about French cheese and the proper tasting technique. He has changed the way we eat cheese going forward. The cheese cellar is really just a large refrigerator upstairs filled with aging cheese, so don't have hopes that you will be going underground to a cool historic cellar (which is what I pictured when booking). That said, still 5 stars for the delicious cheese, wine, and knowledge that came from this tour.

The wine and cheese tasting event was a lot of fun. Our guide was very well informed and made the subject interesting. The only problem of the event was half the people that signed up did not show up on time. Be courteous to others, people, and get there on time!

We had a wonderful time on this tour. Richard came to pick us up at the hotel at the previously agreed time, we picked up other people and had a fun ride towards champagne with Richard's jokes. We visited Moet & Chandon, had lunch at a local wine bar with less known champagne tasting and then went to see a small champagne house with yet more tastings. Richard was very knowledgeable, always making sure all guests were doing well and super fun. Beautiful day, great champagne, we were extremely happy about everything.
