A wine and cheese pairing workshop with a sommelier, to understand what makes a good pairing
In a series of head-to-head tastings, each cheese is matched with several wines, most often from around Lyon, to explore the principles behind a good pairing. We are free to get it wrong: tasting an unsuccessful combination is one of the best ways to understand our own preferences. You leave knowing how to recognise and create a good pairing.
What's included
- A selection of wines and artisan cheeses
- Pairings explained by your sommelier
- A personalised pairing sheet to take home
Practical information
The workshop is private, exclusively for your group, and can be hosted in French or English. It is held standing to encourage conversation, and moves to the terrace whenever the weather allows.
Your host
Born in Lyon, I founded The Cellar Guide because I believe wine deserves more than a rushed tasting. After a master's degree in wine in Burgundy, I worked as a sommelier at a renowned restaurant, then headed the wines and spirits department of a major store, before devoting myself to sharing wine and its place at the table. At each of our gatherings, I make sure everyone, from newcomer to keen enthusiast, leaves wanting to learn more.
