My husband and I attended this class on our first full day in Paris and we had a fantastic time. It was a perfect introduction to french wines. We loved all four of the wines we tried and they matched perfectly with the cheeses, which were also delicious! I highly recommend this to class. I am so glad we went!

We had a great time learning about French wines and cheese. It was just the two of us, so we had almost a VIP experience with Thierry. He was an amazing host and we learnt a lot from his knowledge of wine and cheese. We definitely recommend this experience!

Coming from Northern California with a good deal of experience with wine, wineries, and having been through wine tours in Tuscsny, Northern Californian, and Spain, this was by far and away the most enjoyable and educational experience of them all. We learned about the differences between the varied wine regions of France. We compared glasses of Bourgogne (burgandy) against glasses of Bordeaux and Cotes du Rhone and a Sancerre against a Borgogne blanc (i.e., a chardonay). You are shown (and get to experience) how the wines vary and how the different areas of France, north and south and east and west, contribute to these differences. You hear about the history of how champagne came to be and the complexities and art of its production. You learn about the influence of "terroir;" that is, how soil, weather, and even micro-climates interact to create the unique flavor and character of the wines. You learn which wines pair with which foods. Thierry Givone, the wine expert, is friendly and playful but extraordinarily knowledgable as well. Also, no snobbery - just genuine passion for the subject and a sense of enjoyment in teaching others about French wine. The presentation is easy to understand for beginners but Thierry's expertise is such that i think anyone other than an expert is going to come away having learned a lot.
The group in our tasting got a bit boistrous as we moved to the fourth and fifth wines and everyone seemed to be having a grand time of it. (Thierry commented that this is the normal evolution of the group over the course of the tasting.) Our group were all english speaking, but from all over the world (Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Japan, and the US).

The wines were available for purchase at the end. (but my understanding is that they cannot be shipped due to complexities of tariiffs, laws, etc). Most were under 20 Euro wines, but all very nice. If you want to understand French wines, even just to know what you like or what to order in a restaurant, or if you really enjoy understanding the nature of the different french wines, this is a tour for you. It is simply fun.

P.S. I know I sound like a shill, but a i am not. I just think fun and quality experiences ought be rewarded. This is one of them!

My best friend and I were so excited about this wine tasting in Paris experience and we were not disappointed. Our group was fun! I personally was drunk after the first glass of wine out of four. The cheeses were amazing (from Wisconsin so I LOVE cheese). Definitely would recommend to anyone looking to learn about different wines and their origin as well as tasting and inspecting.

Very cool little place and experience. Great history lesson on the cheeses and wines, where they are made and how to look for good wine! My wife and I enjoyed ourselves very much, learned a lot. Our host was very informative, funny and down to earth. The pours were very generous for a tasting and the variety of cheeses and wines to sample were well thought out, diverse and most importantly delicious.

Booked this session after seeing reviews on TripAdvisor and I was not disappointed. Thierry is so knowledgeable and patient with us. He talked us through all the processes, the tasting and the wine. He has so much information and knew the answers to all our questions. Definitely worth the money. Some tips below:
1. Arrive on time. If you don't you'll miss the crucial details on wine. The rest of the session will then make more sense.
2. Order some cheese to nibble on. The cheese choice by Thierry is fantastic and it goes well with the bread he provides everyone.
3. Eat beforehand. There are 6 wines to try and sometimes you get them twice. So make sure you have eaten.
4. You don't need prior knowledge, just a willingness to learn. Thierry is so good at making the concepts understandable.

This is a highly recommended activity to do in Paris. Book in advance. So so worth it. I'll be telling all my friends about it. Thanks Thierry!!

I've done a lot of wine tasting in both the Santa Barbara and Sonoma, California areas, so I was very excited to expand my horizons to French wine. I'm so glad I did this my first full day in Paris because it gave me the confidence to know and order types wines I liked when at restaurants and wine shops. Theirry is energetic and incredibly knowledgeable regarding the French wine industry. Highly recommended!

I attended Thierry's wine introduction session in Paris last week. It was a full class of 13 like-minded people. Everyone was there to learn something, taste some wine and have some fun while on holidays. French wine was a mystery to me so now I know about the regions and much more about what to expect when tasting a wine. I met some lovely people with whom to have dinner after the session. Don't think about it any more- just book it!
