About this tour
Spend two hours in Montmartre with a cheesemonger who knows the craft inside out. You'll taste a curated selection of French cheeses paired with wines chosen to complement each one, learning how the classics are made along the way. The tasting happens in an intimate stone-walled room, keeping numbers small so there's time for real conversation and questions. It's the kind of afternoon that stays with you.

What to expect
You'll meet your cheesemonger in the Montmartre tasting space and begin with several cheeses, each one introduced with its backstory and what makes it distinct. As you taste, wines arrive one by one—each pairing designed to either highlight the cheese's qualities or create an interesting contrast. Expect questions and tangents; this isn't a script. You'll learn practical things about how texture, salt, and ageing affect flavour, and why certain regions are known for certain styles. The whole thing unfolds at a relaxed clip with time to actually savour what's in front of you.
