A Wonderful Wine and Cheese Tasting Experience - Recently, my friend and I had an amazing wine and cheese tasting experience, and it was absolutely delightful! The pairing of flavors was exceptional, with carefully selected wines perfectly complementing a variety of cheeses. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. We had so much fun exploring different combinations and learning about the subtle notes and textures of each selection. It was truly a memorable experience, and we left feeling happy and satisfied. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable outing!

Casual and fun - A wonderful experience on New Year’s Day. Chef Alex gave a very interesting history lesson of the area as we walked the market street. Then came the delicious cheese and tasty wine as well as hot bread right out of the oven. Casual and fun! I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Wonderful Experience - I had an incredible wine and cheese tasting experience in Paris with Alex! Not only was the selection of wines and cheeses exceptional, but Alex’s knowledge was outstanding. He explained the history and pairing principles behind each choice, making the tasting both educational and enjoyable. His insights into Parisian culture and the local food scene added an extra layer of richness to the experience. If you’re in Paris and want to learn more about wine, cheese, and the city itself, I highly recommend booking a session with Alex!

A delicious, informative, and fun intro to Paris! - Chef Alex was terrific! He managed to weave French culture, history, and gastronomy in ways that made me want to be French. He says it’s an attitude, not a question of birth, so perhaps there’s hope. Chef Alex is a consummate teacher and a revolutionary. His revolution is healthier and more delicious eating, and he challenged the five of us from three different countries to go back and spread the word about local, alive eating and the importance of a healthy gut microbiome. We walked along Rue Mouffetard to a patisserie, a boulangerie, and then to his restaurant where we sampled six cheeses and three wines. All the while he regaled us with stories and facts and instructions. I highly recommend this tour!
