Features

• During the session you take part in a small-group wine tasting that creates space for questions and discussion while you explore how French wine regions and terroirs influence what is in your glass.
• A cheese tasting platter is served alongside the wines, with cheese pairing selected by the sommelier so you can compare how different cheeses interact with each of the three premium French wines.
• The combination of guided tasting of three premium French wines and cheese pairing lets you experience two iconic Paris culinary traditions in one tour, linking the dessert you prepared earlier with classic French wine culture.

Wrapping up

At the end of the guided wine tasting you finish your last glass and any remaining cheese from your cheese tasting platter, then are free to leave the venue at your own pace, with no transportation between venues, hotel pickup and drop-off, additional food and beverages, or gratuities included.
