The party
Not a 101 class — it’s a pairing party. Chic and snobbery-free.
In Paris, we go underground: in the River Seine district near the Louvre, the trendy Marais, the Saint-Honoré fashion district, in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, or even on a boat on the Seine.
No maps. No method, no guru, no teacher. Just delicious things made by passionate people, shared over a “cheers.”
Underground in Paris’ River Seine district near the Louvre, in a 12th-century cellar only recently reopened after an extensive restoration. A convivial exploration of French wine and cheese, and one of the city’s biggest wine sensations, with over 1,600 five-star reviews.
We favour conversation over note-taking and PowerPoints, which may be why Google, Meta, Dior, Hermès, La Sorbonne, Amazon and Hewlett-Packard have chosen us for their team evenings. An irreverent tasting party with other curious culture-seekers: between laughs and shared stories, you’ll learn why French wine and cheese is considered the best in the world, and why 98% of our new friends have rated us five stars since 2018.
- The wines
- Six, carefully selected to surprise and delight by our cavemen, Champagne among them. One is poured blind: an unexpected mystery wine.
- The cheeses
- Six, with stories to tell: the World’s Best Cheese several years running, France’s most opulent and expensive, the French favourite, and a few rare ones hard to find even in Paris. (You can try Brie at home.)
- Et voilà
- Award-winning baguette throughout, and something sweet to end. Don’t plan dinner too soon after.
- The setting
- Intimate stone cellars and rustic tables in some of Paris’ most intriguing neighbourhoods, or on the Seine.
