An exceptionally pleasant experience. A very nice selection of wines from different regions of France, some delicious cheese pairing, and a great explanation of how wines are labeled in France. Our guide was knowledgeable, and just as importantly, he made the experience fun for everyone in attendance.

This is an experience to try, Wines not available to most of the world. A must for seasoned Wine Conisurs! Great pairings and reviews@
They unexpectedly canceled our reservation 1 day before. Said they were overbooked. Funny, we booked back in February, do not know how they could overbook us, we had to be one of the first to book. Be advised you may get cancelled at anytime.
Be prepared to drink 10 glasses of wine. Why waste the good stuff, am I right? Yves, the sommelier, was knowledgeable and entertaining. Most cheeses were delightful, but I do not like Roquefort! (I tried it, not for me.)
Everything was wonderful. Pierre was friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this. The wine was delicious
It was fun and educational. Not too overwhelming and very intimate. Tried 10 wines with 10 cheeses. If you didn’t like a particular cheese, they even gave secondary recommendations.
Very nice experience. We tried 10 wines & cheeses as advertised & they were really well paired. The host also did a very good job to guide us through the histories of each & helped us enjoy them.
It was such a great experience. Learned a tremendous amount from Pierre about the various wine regions of France and the pairings of the wines with the cheese.
We loved this experience. Our sommelier was fun and knowledgeable. The wines and cheeses fantastic. There was a diverse sampling . Something for everyone. It was a comfortable cozy environment. Everyone there was friendly and nice. Definitely a unique experience.

It was very nice. !! It was well worth the time and money. It was in a beautiful location and easy to locate. Host was great!
We enjoyed this tasting immensely!! Our sommelier was great. We tried wines and cheeses from across France. Some sweet, some bold and some down the middle. But we had an excellent group. We learned a lot and really enjoyed this part of our trip to Paris. 10/10.
Very knowledgeable about the wine and cheese we were tasting, very conversational and made everyone feel welcomed
It is a very relaxing and informative day. Pierre was so nice and informative! Although I was a solo traveller i felt very welcome and at home. The wines were superb. Although I knew a little about wines I was still surprised at how much the cheese pairings added to the whole taste experience! I highly recommend this tour!! If could have stayed longer in Paris I would come back with my husband or friends!
So informative. Great way to start wine experience in France. Gar was great. The wines and cheeses were perfect and well pared.
This was a pricey but truly first-class tasting experience. The cellar/tasting room is beautiful and our guide seemed very knowledgeable of wines and cheese, keeping us engaged with information and stories. All of the selections were excellent, although most seem to be from small vineyards and family cheesemakers and probably not so easy to find at your typical local wine shop. In enjoyed learning about the regions of France and the orientation of their local wines and cheeses.
This tour was beautifully presented. Margaux was our presenter. She was knowledgeable and personable. It was the larger tasting - 10 wines and 10 cheeses, along with bread. At 152.00 pp (USD) it was quite a high price, but competitive with others. We had a fun group too!
We loved this experience. The sommelier was insightful and engaging. Les Caves Du Louvre was a beautiful wine and cheese shop . We left there with a bottle to take home and many more suggestions of wines and cheeses to buy when we return to the states.
Wow! An amazing experience at an historic Paris landmark. Smart sommelier, enjoyed sharing information and answering our questions. The artisanal wine-cheese pairings were superb. Such an excellent choice and value. Cheers!
We actually will be requesting a refund because our ticket said 7 PM and the tasting was actually at 12 PM so we missed it.. I planned to connect with you for a refund when we return from our trip. The gentleman at the winery said this has happened before and I showed him our ticket and he said that we need to seek the refund from you. It was very disappointing as we were celebrating my daughter‘s 25th birthday and this was something very special that we were seeking to do in Paris.
Great experience. Our host definitely knows his wines and cheeses and clearly loves what he does. 10 very generous of each. The venue was exceptional. Felt I was in a cozy wine cellar.
Very fun experience. Margot was very knowledgeable and a delight to spend time with for the tour. Highly recommend!
Our wine and cheese tasting experience was wonderful. All the pairings were perfect, and we even ended up buying six bottles to take home. Jean was a great sommelier — knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole tasting both educational and enjoyable. Highly recommend!
This was one of the best wine and cheese tasting expereinces I have attended. It is a small group setting with excellent wine and ceese pairings. They have both a wine and cheese shop at the location so that you can take your favirites with you. It was truly a wine workshop where you will leave better informed no matter what your level of wine knowledge. Highly recommend!!!
Very knowledgeable sommelier who guided us through French wines and cheeses and all their nuances . Highly recommended
What a great experience! I learned so much about wine and cheese and regions of which they were produced! A nice afternoon break!
This was fantastic! Consider it a must do when in Paris. The regional pairings were interesting and it was great to learn more about the regions.
We had such a great time and it was so informative, atmosphere was 10/10 very cool experience! Highly recommend, we don’t know much about French wine and we learned so much and shipped some Back to the states. Our sommelier was awesome!
Very fun and informative. We are avid wine drinkers and still learned a lot. The pairing selections were great. It was worth it!
This experience was wonderful. All the wine and cheese were delicious and the guide was so knowledgeable
Willie was an amazing sommelier who was so knowledgeable about wine and cheese and their history in France. It was a fascinating experience in a very cool, beautiful cellar in an underground area. The cheeses and the wine were superb and plentiful. We absolutely loved it. I have done many wine tastings in my lifetime and this was second to none. You won’t regret doing this excursion.
Clement was so knowledgeable about regions of France , history of and such as to how it relates to the wines and cheese
This is a great place to zpend your Happy Hour! Lot's of cheese & wine. Our sommelier, Maria was very knowledgeable and gave us a great education on the different grapes, regions and wine & cheeses produced in both.
Very good and knowledgeable staff! Great atmosphere - a little dark. Became warm but was really a nice way to begin our trip in PARIS
Very educational. Our group ran the full spectrum of wine knowledge, from people with little knowledge to those with significant experience buying and drinking European wines. I believe everyone had a good time. We all learned some basics about French wine and how to pair them with different types of cheese. I believe everyone left with an interest in a wine we had not previously enjoyed.
My mother and I had a great time at the tasting. Our Som was knowledgeable, personable, entertaining. We were introduced to wines we would have never picked out on our own, and the cheeses were amazing.
Incredible! Pierre was an excellent presenter and not only did we have fun but learned something! We wobbled out of the seminar and made it back to our hotel for a rest. This gave us an opportunity to sample different wines from all over France without leaving the room.
A truly wonderful experience. Great amount of thought and care put into the presentation. Great wines and cheeses. Great explanations as well. 100% recommend to all who have a love or curiosity for wine.
Very informative and generous with wine a cheese servings. We learnt a great deak about french wine and cheese
Wonderful experience, would highly recommend it for cheese and wine lovers - my whole family loved it
Great fun and interesting for both new and more experienced wine and cheese lovers. Definitely recommend, interesting history of the cellars
We had Marie as our sommelier who was excellent. A really good and varied selection of wines with the perfect cheese to accompany each wine we went for the 10 cheese and 10 wine option. Great setting also.
Beyond my expectations! The explanation was top notch . Our guide knowledgeable, kind and just plain lovely . I am coming back ! And the cheeses !!!! I am a cheese liver and now have new ones in my list . The wine pairing was also an A+ , even though i am no wine expert ! Enjoyed the explanation and exploration with the particular cheeses
We had an amazing time with the 10 wine 10 cheeses class. Thank you again and hopefully, we’ll see you next year!
The presentation was really nice, the wines were interesting and the sommelier was engaging and enjoyed the group as much as we enjoyed him.
Thus wine tasting experience was the highlight of our trip. The instructor was amazing; very personable and knowledgeable. We appreciate his hospitality and our group purchased a few bottles of our favorite white and red wines. The cheeses were delicious. We took amazing photos and are still reminiscing about the wonderful experience we had! To the instructor, Thank you so much for giving us an amazing wine tasting experience.
We had a fantastic time! The selection of wine and cheese was excellent, though my husband wasn’t a fan of the last two—just a matter of personal taste. What truly made the evening exceptional was the sommelier, Irvin. His deep knowledge and entertaining approach really elevated the experience, making it both informative and fun. Overall, a delightful evening, and we’d highly recommend it!
The knowledge, experience and story telling of the different wines & cheeses. Complimented by the location, in a converted wine cellar
Irving was extremely knowledgeable. We loved every wine and cheese pairing and learned a lot about the different cheeses from goat, sheep and cow! This was one of our favorite outings.
Clement was our knowledgeable and enthusiastic sommelier. He took us on a marvellous journey around France through wines and cheeses. The varieties, the combinations and the histories of the wines and cheeses added to the understanding of their heritage, how they were produced and how and why the wines would pair with the cheeses. This cheese and wine tasting was definitely a top higlight of our trip to Paris.
