LE CHEESE GEEK TASTING
There is cheese, and other stuff!
A tasting costs 70€ per adult and 60€ per child, people say it's definitely worth the price. Take a look at all what you'll get!
The best way to learn is by having fun, right?
We will meet in a cheese
shop, you will be
surrounded by cheeses.
After a cheesy but
necessary ceremonial, we
will sit at the big farm
table and learn how to
taste cheese like experts,
through creative and
entertaining group games.
You’ll then be ready to go
on a "Tour de Fromage" of
six artisanal farm
cheeses, each paired with
six unique beverages (wine
but also beer, cider,
sweet wines and juices) to
discover major French
cheese terroirs.

CHEESE AND WINE TASTING IN PARIS
A perfect location to taste cheese in Paris
We're happy to welcome you in our
partner's cheese shop.
The location is perfectly tailored to
make sure you will be immersed in a
world of cheese and will enjoy your
tasting at its best. A giant black
board, maps, magazines and
books...about cheese of course! The
cheeses you're tasting are quietly
maturing in our cave below the shop!
As cheese geeks, you will have the
possibility to purchase all the
cheeses, wines and delicatessen you've
tried during your tasting in our micro
cheese shop.
To learn cheese tasting rules
During our two hours together, you will learn the basics of cheese tasting :
-
the three steps for a professional cheese tasting (visual, olfactory and gustatory) through mini game and group workshops;
-
rules and tricks to understand how to pair your cheese with wine and other beverages such as beer, cider, juices or liquors;
-
ideas to choose your bread to accompany the cheese;
And taste great cheeses while travelling through France
You will, of course, taste some great French cheese, from the classics (Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine, Saint-Nectaire, Comté, Camembert de Normandie, Munster, Roquefort, …) to less famous cheeses, made by small-scale producers.
The cheese selection changes every time according to seasons, supplies and agings.
Each cheese will be carefully paired with a unique beverage(wines but also beer, cider, juices, port wine, and some surprises!), to give you a good idea of all the pairing possibilities cheese has to offer.
During the tasting, we will also use a map of France to discover the main cheese making regions : goat cheese in the Loire Valley , hard cheeses from Jura and Savoie mountains, sheep’s milk cheeses from Occitanie, and the Auvergne, a cheese plate itself!.
We will take time to discussevery cheese: anecdotes about its origins, its making, stories of the producer. Then we will taste it together and go through the tasting: describe its texture, its taste, and aromatic profile, too.
Each guest will have its little “Le Cheese Geek Tasting Book” to keep track of all the cheese he’s tasting.
See you very soon for a pretty cheesy adventure !
