About this tour
A curated two-hour tasting in Chamonix pairing regional Savoie wines and cheeses with a specialist guide.

You'll learn to identify aromas and understand why each wine and cheese complement one another—a direct encounter with what the land produces.

What to expect
Your guide will have selected specific bottles and cheeses before you arrive, arranged in an order designed to build your palate progressively. As you taste, expect detailed explanations of where each product comes from, how it's made, and what to look for in flavour and aroma. You'll be encouraged to guess at scent notes and tastes as they emerge. The guide explains the reasoning behind each pairing—why a particular cheese opens up with a certain wine. This is a working tasting, not a passive tour; you're actively learning to taste rather than simply consuming.
