Cheese Tasting and Unlikely Pairings at the Caves du Louvre
What to expect
An Unusual Tasting Experience in the Heart of Paris
Paris is renowned for its gastronomic delights, and the Caves du Louvre are an exceptional showcase of this culinary heritage. Nestled within an 18th-century townhouse, they now host original oenological experiences. Among them, the cheese and unexpected pairings tasting invites you to explore new and surprising flavor combinations.
The Concept of Unexpected Pairings
When Boldness Meets Tradition
While classic wine and cheese pairings are well-known, this workshop dares to break the rules. Here, the combinations are unconventional: a mineral white wine with a creamy cheese, a fruity red with a blue-veined variety… Each pairing is carefully designed to surprise and reveal unexpected flavors.
A Fun and Interactive Learning Experience
Guided by a passionate expert, participants learn to analyze textures, aromas, and contrasts. The experience goes beyond simple tasting — it encourages you to develop your palate and challenge preconceived notions about food and wine pairings.
The Workshop Experience
The session begins with an introduction to the cellars and an immersion into the world of wine. Then comes the tasting: several wines and cheeses are served in sequence, each accompanied by clear explanations about the pairing choices. Every stage becomes a true sensory discovery where pleasure and curiosity take center stage.
Carefully Selected Products
The wines and spirits offered are chosen for their ability to harmonize with artisanal cheeses. Authenticity and quality are at the heart of this experience.
An Experience for Everyone
Whether you’re a wine enthusiast, a food lover, or simply curious, this workshop is designed to be accessible. No expertise required — the goal is to share a convivial moment and learn while having fun. It’s also a great idea for an original outing in Paris, whether as a couple, with friends, or in a small group.
