About this tour
Spend 90 minutes in a Latin Quarter wine shop sampling four French wines—two whites and two reds—paired with artisanal farmhouse cheeses. Led by Thierry, a Burgundy-certified sommelier, this small-group tasting (max 12 people) covers distinct wine regions across France. It's a proper lunch break that fits seamlessly into a Paris day, with enough depth to teach you something without pretension.

What to expect
You'll gather in a compact, genuine wine merchant's space with a dozen other enthusiasts. Thierry walks you through each wine's origin and character before you taste it alongside a complementary cheese. The pacing gives you time to actually notice flavours rather than rush through. Expect straightforward talk about what makes these pairings work—regional styles, terroir, production methods—delivered in accessible English. It's structured but relaxed, closer to a conversation than a lecture.
