A cheese and wine tasting in Paris is more than a culinary experience — it’s a celebration of French culture. From creamy Camembert to aged Comté, paired with elegant Bordeaux or crisp Sancerre, every flavor tells a story. This 3-hour adventure designed by Prémices, Paris’s specialist in gourmet experiences and private culinary tours, invites you to explore the true essence of French gastronomy through taste, tradition, and passion.
The experience begins in a cozy Parisian tasting room or a charming wine cellar tucked away from the busy streets. You’re greeted by a local expert — a passionate sommelier and cheese connoisseur — who introduces you to the fundamentals of French pairing.
Over three delightful hours, you’ll sample a curated selection of five to seven French cheeses representing various regions and styles: soft-ripened, washed-rind, blue-veined, and firm mountain cheeses. Each is paired with a complementary wine chosen for its balance and character.
The tasting flows naturally, moving from lighter flavors to more intense ones, while your expert shares stories of terroir, craftsmanship, and the timeless bond between cheese and wine in French culture.
France’s cheese diversity is unmatched — over 1,000 varieties exist, each with its own texture, aroma, and heritage. During your Prémices tasting, you might enjoy:
Each cheese offers a journey through France’s regions, traditions, and family-run farms. Your guide helps you recognize subtle differences in milk types, aging processes, and seasonal variations that influence every flavor.
Wine is at the heart of French gastronomy, and your Prémices tasting brings that art to life. You’ll discover how acidity, sweetness, and tannins interact with the fats, salts, and textures of cheese.
Expect to taste a range of wines — from elegant reds from Burgundy to crisp whites from Alsace — each selected to highlight the complexity of French cheese. You’ll also learn how to pair wines confidently at home, understanding what makes a combination harmonious.
This experience is about more than just what’s on your plate. It’s an invitation to connect with French culture and craftsmanship. As you sip and savor, you’ll hear stories of historic markets, rural traditions, and how France’s geography shapes its iconic flavors.
The tasting is interactive — you can ask questions, compare notes, and truly engage with the food. It’s an intimate, educational, and entertaining moment that captures the Parisian way of enjoying life: slowly, passionately, and with appreciation.
