Wine tastings — for connoisseurs

The Cheese Stands Alone (Almost)

La Crème de La Crème: a walk to taste rare but delicious cheeses, with clever wines to keep them company. Don’t try this at home.

The experience

We roam the streets on the hunt for the finest, most delicious, most opulent of the French cheeses, the ones that surprise and delight. (You can get Brie at home.)

Bordeaux pours into waiting glasses. The first taste and you understand why you came to Paris (and to us…)

Here, you’re stepping into a place where heritage runs deep. It runs in the blood (like our equally renowned protests…)

Enjoy the sights and sounds of daily Parisian life as you learn how to discern a good cheese shop from an exceptional one.

We sweep through the backstreets of the ‘belly of Paris’, embracing the laid-back mood of the French flâneur… threading our way through hidden nooks and crannies, following the scent of warm baguette. A ritual endured for generations.

On this walk we seek to impress even the French, when they come. These will likely be the best cheeses you ever meet.
