What to expect
You'll arrive at a intimate venue and work systematically through each cheese-wine combination. Your guide walks you through the mechanics of tasting—how to observe colour, nose the wine, and identify flavour notes—rather than just sipping. Each cheese introduction covers its origin and why it works with its paired wine. You'll taste the champagne alongside a cheese, then progress through the whites and reds. It's unhurried; you're encouraged to ask questions and discuss what you're experiencing.
Good to know
