What to expect
Your guide will walk you through a working fromagerie, explaining regional varieties, ageing processes, and what makes each cheese distinct. Back in the cellar, you'll taste each wine individually, discussing tannins and acidity, then discover how they complement different cheeses. The tasting unfolds casually—this isn't formal lecturing, more a conversation between someone who knows the craft and you.
Good to know
Arrive on an empty stomach to appreciate the flavours. The cellar maintains cool temperatures year-round. Wear comfortable shoes for the cheesemonger visit. All fitness levels welcome; no strenuous walking involved.
