It is a very relaxing and informative day. Pierre was so nice and informative! Although I was a solo traveller i felt very welcome and at home. The wines were superb. Although I knew a little about wines I was still surprised at how much the cheese pairings added to the whole taste experience! I highly recommend this tour!! If could have stayed longer in Paris I would come back with my husband or friends!
So informative. Great way to start wine experience in France. Gar was great. The wines and cheeses were perfect and well pared.
This was a pricey but truly first-class tasting experience. The cellar/tasting room is beautiful and our guide seemed very knowledgeable of wines and cheese, keeping us engaged with information and stories. All of the selections were excellent, although most seem to be from small vineyards and family cheesemakers and probably not so easy to find at your typical local wine shop. In enjoyed learning about the regions of France and the orientation of their local wines and cheeses.
This tour was beautifully presented. Margaux was our presenter. She was knowledgeable and personable. It was the larger tasting - 10 wines and 10 cheeses, along with bread. At 152.00 pp (USD) it was quite a high price, but competitive with others. We had a fun group too!
We loved this experience. The sommelier was insightful and engaging. Les Caves Du Louvre was a beautiful wine and cheese shop . We left there with a bottle to take home and many more suggestions of wines and cheeses to buy when we return to the states.
Wow! An amazing experience at an historic Paris landmark. Smart sommelier, enjoyed sharing information and answering our questions. The artisanal wine-cheese pairings were superb. Such an excellent choice and value. Cheers!
We actually will be requesting a refund because our ticket said 7 PM and the tasting was actually at 12 PM so we missed it.. I planned to connect with you for a refund when we return from our trip. The gentleman at the winery said this has happened before and I showed him our ticket and he said that we need to seek the refund from you. It was very disappointing as we were celebrating my daughter‘s 25th birthday and this was something very special that we were seeking to do in Paris.
Great experience. Our host definitely knows his wines and cheeses and clearly loves what he does. 10 very generous of each. The venue was exceptional. Felt I was in a cozy wine cellar.
Very fun experience. Margot was very knowledgeable and a delight to spend time with for the tour. Highly recommend!
Our wine and cheese tasting experience was wonderful. All the pairings were perfect, and we even ended up buying six bottles to take home. Jean was a great sommelier — knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole tasting both educational and enjoyable. Highly recommend!
