About

Your experience

Delve into France’s legendary cheese and wine culture during this expert-guided tasting experience in an atmospheric 17th-century cellar in Paris. Over two hours, discover the art of pairing regional cheeses and wines, learning about their history, characteristics and how they complement each other.

Arrival and welcome

Begin your visit at the Living Cheese Museum of Paris, newly renovated but rich in history. Your host greets you at the entrance before leading you below ground into an authentic stone-walled cheese cellar, creating an inviting setting for your culinary journey.

Tasting in the cellar

The heart of your experience is a guided tasting curated by passionate cheese and wine experts. You will sample nine distinctive French cheeses, ranging from soft to hard and young to aged, each coming from renowned cheese-making regions across the country. Alongside, five wines will be thoughtfully paired—expect both classic French whites and robust reds—to enhance and contrast the cheeses’ flavors and textures.

Pairing insights

Throughout, your guide explains the fundamentals of French cheese and wine philosophy, such as which flavors best enhance creamy cheeses and which varietals bring out the depth in aged selections. Engage your senses as you learn how to identify and appreciate subtle notes unique to artisan cheese and local wines.

Behind the scenes: the aging cellar

During the visit, get exclusive access to the on-site aging cellar. Here, gain insight into how cheeses are matured and preserved, discovering what makes French cave-aged cheese so valued around the world.

Intimate group format

The experience is designed for small groups of up to twelve English- or French-speaking guests, fostering a convivial atmosphere where you can interact with your guide and ask questions throughout the session. Experience an authentic slice of Parisian gastronomic life in an engaging, educational setting.
