Small-group Montmartre cheese and wine tasting with Max, 8 cheeses and 5 wine pairings in a stone-walled setting for $70.
“We visited Paris in January 2026 and decided to visit Montmartre for a day. During our trip we did the Wine and Cheese tasting with Max and thoroughly enjoyed our time! It was only the two of us and Max but it made for a great personalised experience. We got to try a variety of different wines which all tasted unique and paired with the cheeses, it was amazing! Max was very knowledgeable and a great host. We would highly recommend this experience, it was great value for money and it has been one of the best, most unique things we have done in Paris!”

Le Marais walking food tour with cheese and wine, pastries, chocolate, charcuterie, plus a market stop with a small-group guide.

We tried so many different types of foods including snacks, desserts, and wine. We learned about the history of the places we traveled to and had a great time. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!”
Two hours with Chef Sommelier Alex in Paris, touring Mouffetard Market and tasting six cheeses paired with three wines.
“The tour was not quite what I expected but was very enjoyable because it was different. I enjoyed how Chef Alex encouraged us to participate in the market experience and embracing the French approach to food. We came away ready to start the revolution for good quality local food!”
1-hour Living Cheese Museum tour on Île Saint-Louis: watch cheesemaking and taste four French cheeses with an English guide.
“A very interesting, easy explanation as to how cheese is made. A lot of people on the tour but they split us into English speakers and French speakers as the poor guide had to say everything twice. Tasted about 4 cheeses. A good afternoon out.”

Small-group Paris wine and cheese pairing with four tastings, lunch, and tasting etiquette in the Latin Quarter near public transit.
“Even though we don’t claim any expertise, we truly enjoy wine, wines from the U. S., but especially the wines from Italy, France, and Spain. While we have gone to many tastings in both the U. S. and in Europe, we have never had both the pleasure of tasting and of learning about any country’s wines, or cheese, that we received in this wine and cheese pairing experience. And Terri, for all his knowledge, could not create an easier, more pleasurable way to learn from him. Relaxed, approachable, and just plain fun. I only wish we had done this on our first visit to Paris. And we would definitely do…”
