Description:

In France, cheese is a true national treasure, with somewhere between 350 and 400 distinct cheeses produced in regions from Brittany to the Alps and at every village in between. Sample 6 of these fine fromages at a cellar in the heart of Paris, crafting your own cheese platter with the help of a sommelier.

Pull up a chair at the granite bar of an elegant and cozy tasting room in the first arrondissement. A pungent array of more than 25 different cheeses is at your fingertips, and a specialist is on hand to help you select 6 creamy wedges—from delicate chevres to flavorful aged raw milk cheeses.

You can nibble on a collection of cheeses from the same family to compare the differences from one region to the next, or try a range of mild and stronger cheeses to sample the whole gamut. Your cheese platter is accompanied by a fresh green salad to cleanse your palate between tastings as well as bread from the same bakery that provides baguettes to the French president.

If you’d like to dine in true French style, a sommelier can help you choose perfectly paired wines available by the glass, half-glass, or in tasting flights.
