About this experience

During this workshop in a Croix-Rousse wine cellar, participants engage in hands-on learning about wine and cheese pairing under the guidance of a local sommelier. The experience includes tasting various combinations, allowing you to discover which pairings enhance flavors and which do not. Each session progresses through different types of cheese, from goat to cow and young to aged, culminating in an exploration of blue cheese where you assess pairings independently. The workshop emphasizes understanding France's terroirs, including grape varieties, soils, and microclimates, presented in an accessible manner. This activity is suitable for those interested in gastronomy and wine, but may not be ideal for those seeking a formal or seated dining experience. Weather permitting, parts of the workshop take place outdoors.
