The art of pairing cheese with wine

The art of pairing cheese with wine

A workshop in English. Have you ever experienced a cheese and wine pairing where something more comes into play? Then welcome to the third dimension!

When you arrive, you will wonder: “Is this really the place? It looks like an ordinary cheese shop.” Then our experts welcome you and show you around this unique place: a cheese shop with its ageing cellar, a hidden cheese bar, a 17th-century tasting cellar and a cheesemaking room.

Your mouth will soon be watering: down to the cellar to start the tasting! A friendly, fun and informative experience.

  • Your English-speaking cheesemaker
  • 9 matured cheeses
  • 5 wines
  • A visit to the ageing cellar
  • 17th-century tasting room
  • 2 hours 15

Step 03

Meet a real cheesemaker

At the appointed time, you meet a real, passionate cheesemaker — the person who makes, in front of visitors, some of the cheeses you can taste and buy at the end of your visit.
They will guide you through the world of cheesemaking tradition: the history of cheese, cheesemaking techniques with a live demonstration, a guided tasting… You will learn everything (or almost!) about how milk can produce such a variety of cheeses.

Step 04

The museum shop

At the end of your visit, you pass through the museum shop, which offers a fine selection of souvenirs, gift ideas and cheeses made at the museum and on the best French farms.
