Paris – Tasting French Spirits and Cheeses: The Expression of Terroirs｜France

What if spirits were no longer just for aperitifs or after-dinner drinks? This workshop invites you to rediscover these exceptional French spirits by pairing them with one of the treasures of our culinary heritage: cheese. A unique tasting experience where each pairing surprises, challenges conventions, and reveals unexpected harmonies.

Guided by a passionate expert, you’ll explore the balance between intensity, smoothness, and aromatic richness. You will learn how the strength of a cheese can complement the complexity of a peaty whisky, how a Calvados can enhance the texture of a creamy cheese, or how a woody gin can elevate a hard cheese. The goal: to experiment, understand, and savor.

For 90 minutes, immersed in the heart of the distillery, you will taste a selection of 5 French spirits and 5 cheeses, carefully chosen for their complementary qualities. To enhance your experience, a personalized tasting notebook will allow you to jot down your impressions, identify the aromatic nuances—fruity, floral, woody—and keep track of key information about each product.

This workshop is the perfect opportunity to nurture your curiosity, refine your palate, and gain confidence in the art of pairing spirits and cheeses. Learn how to surprise your guests with unexpected pairings and become an expert in the subtleties that turn a tasting into a true sensory journey.

Take a seat… and let your taste buds lead the way through this experience!
