3.Paris Art of Pairing Cheese and Wine Tasting in a Cheese Cellar

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 386 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $84

Meet at Musée Vivant du Fromage on Île Saint-Louis, suit up, and descend into a cool cheese cellar. Over 90 minutes, guides such as Pierre, Agathe, Gabriel, Paul, and Dion explain cheesemaking before pairing seven cheeses with three wines and fresh baguette in a group of up to 12.

“This experience was perfect from start to finish. It started in a ‘Cheese cooling room’ where we learned about the process of making cheese as well as little history - before proceeding downstairs to a cellar where we tasted different wines and paired them with cheeses. Pierre was simply the most amazing and attentive host. I’ll be back on my next trip to Paris!”

4.Wine and Cheese Tasting with a Chef Sommelier

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 277 reviews · 2 hours · from $69Best value

Meet Chef Sommelier Alex near Rue Monge for a short walk through the Latin Quarter and Mouffetard Market, with local tastings and food stories along the way. Then sit in a nearby restaurant for six French cheeses, three wines, bread, fruit, and interactive pairing games. The tour lasts two hours and runs in English, French, or Spanish.

“Chef Alex was incredible. Extremely knowledgeable and so friendly. he made sure we had the best experience even down to the time we visited the markets. The way he described food and the feeling you can have when eating something as simple as 1 day old goat cheese made me appreciate every little bite. I booked this on our last day of Paris and I only wish I had done it sooner so I could have appreciated the city and it's history with the people and food even more so than I already had. I spoke to him briefly afterwards about my trip to Lyon and he was so helpful.…”
