Cheese and Wine Tasting in Paris

For the last 18 years I've explored French food, culture, wine and cheese through this blog. Now heading in an exciting and natural new direction, as of spring 2023, I will be offering an in-person experience devoted to tasting and appreciating French cheese.

My goal is to share my deep passion for the subject and to demystify the delicious, often aromatic, sometimes intimidating world of fromage!

The tasting includes:

• A comfortably seated, 2½-3 hour cheese and wine workshop in a wine shop

• 10-12 French cheeses paired with 4-5 wines (and/or possible other drinks)

• A fun, sensory and educational experience

You will go away with:

• A deeper understanding of cheese

• Confidence in purchasing, serving and slicing

• Cheese and wine pairing insight and know-how

• A new love for cheese, including their varied flavors, aromas and textures

The small group format, maximum 8 people, which includes all the cheese, bread, accompaniments and drinks, is €130 per person (please see note).

They will be offered most Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at noon.

To book a tasting, or for any questions you may have, please contact me at louloufrance@gmail.com

This experience can be customized for private groups, just ask!

Note: Please send an email to discuss a private tasting if you would like to include children under 14 years old

Where To Taste Wine In Paris

Take a class.
Thierry Givone owns Wine Tasting in Paris, a charming tasting space in the Latin Quarter. I'm a big fan of this guy! He helped me arrange a private Champagne tasting for my family last year, which they absolutely loved. They came away feeling like experts and happily continue applying their Champagne knowledge today.




Head to the Seine.
Paris boasts 65 open-air markets and 13 covered markets, so assembling a picnic is a snap. Then head to your local caviste or hit the grocery store for a bottle or two. Just don't forget the corkscrew!

Go to a tasting.
Most Saturdays you can meet the winemakers while tasting their wine at one of the best wine shops in the city, La Dernière Goutte.
Additionally, its owner, Juan Sanchez, offers a fundamentals of French wine class called Elements, which I'm taking next week. You can never have too much wine knowledge!




At the café. 
They might not serve the best wine that France has to offer, but the people watching will more than make up for it.




On a balcony.
Don't have one? I'm sure you know someone who does!



"Decisions, decisions."
