Paris’ Most Decadent Wine Tasting….This Wine and Cheese Tasting is Different — it’s a Pairing Party!

We’ll dare you to fall in love with France –maybe you’ll stay?
Underground, in one of Paris’ oldest wine caves, we dive into Parisian culture, too — you’ll discover not only which wines to pair with that amazing cheese, but slices of Paris life + current events. This isn’t your average, touristy, wine ‘class’!
In the core of chic Paris–what starts with, ‘Cheers!’ becomes a dive into curated flight of rare + unusual cheeses, delicious wines (and, non, we don’t skimp on the bubbly) –intriguingly tasty, to wild + strong, to a ‘safe landing’ of pure deliciousness! And ends with new friends from around the globe…together we explore France…by mouth!
Make Friends in a Cave? Pourquoi Pas ?
Meet fellow curious travelers to have a convivial experience together…Cheers!
Our Pairing Party is limited in size to 19 guests, but we can also accommodate groups up to 100 for special events.
