Fabulous experience! Knowledgeable host who clearly loved cheese. Learned about pairing cheese with red or white and why. Learned more about the various cheeses. Entertaining, lively and engaging. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend! Knowledgeable and friendly guide told us a wealth of information; the cheese and wine were delicious and the cheese cellar is charming. 1 1/2 hours just flew by.
Nicolas was a fantastic and knowledgeable host. He knew about wine and cheese and answered all the questions we had.
There is just as much information about flavor combos, history and the staff is so friendly. We entered saying “I guess everyone has to have cheese and wine in Paris” and left feeling like we took a very loved college class. This is the best must try. If you are hesitant, do it! We had three different generations with us and we all loved it!
Galina explained very well and answered questions. The little museum is interesting. The wine pouring was generous with refills offered. It was a fun experience if you like cheese.
Wonderful experience to learn more about the very wide range of French cheeses. Wine pairing were on point, and generous. Guillaume is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his cheese!
Very informative, fun and tasty experience. Lola was our guide she is very knowledgeable, humorous, ensuring everyone is at ease and able to share their stories, taste. We understood a lot more about cheese and can know how to pair and enjoy them in the future. Thank you.
I found the cost vs value to be on the skimpy side. 7 small pieces of cheese, 2 glasses of about 2 oz wine and 1 cider and that was it. The guide was marvelous and energetic. We happened to be in the company of a 'class' travel group of 20 year olds that didn't help conversation or inquisitiveness of the products. Most of them didn't like the cheese or wine... what! So it dampened our experience. The purveyors of this offer should have suggested another day or perhaps did 2 groups. Being in the company of 'Foodies' is probably better.
This was an excellent experience with a very knowledgeable host at the Cheese Museum. We learned a great deal about wine and cheese tasting that exceeded our expectations. My wife and I highly recommend this experience.
This experience was well worth every penny! The location is authentic and charming. Our host was extremely knowledgeable and proficient in both French and English. We learned so much, had a great time, and enjoyed all the cheeses we tried!
