Cheesemaking Workshop in Paris: Make Cheese with Wine Tasting

You leave with the knowledge to make cheese at home.

A two-hour cheesemaking workshop at the Living Cheese Museum in Paris where you make cheese under expert guidance, then taste it paired with wine. Small groups only. Children welcome from age 13. The class runs in English at multiple start times throughout the day, and all equipment is provided.

The experience

The Living Cheese Museum is where you arrive to meet the cheese expert and the small group. You head to the back of the space, past the shop floor, where the real work happens. The cheesemaker walks you through the steps of making cheese from scratch, hands-on, using all the equipment and ingredients needed. This is not a demonstration you watch. You are doing the work yourself, learning the technique so you can repeat it at home.

Once the cheese is made, the tasting begins. You taste what you've just created alongside other French cheeses, with a glass of wine in hand. The expert answers questions about the cheeses, their origins and how they're made: the kind of detail that changes how you taste cheese afterward. The whole experience runs two hours, structured enough to fit a full lesson into the time but unhurried enough that questions are part of it.

You choose your start time at checkout: 10:30am, 1:30pm, 4pm or 10am. Public transportation stops are nearby if you're traveling without a car. All the tools and dairy you need are included. You bring nothing but your curiosity and your appetite.

What’s included

• All the dairy and equipment needed to make cheese.
• a hands-on cheesemaking lesson with a professional expert.
• a cheese and wine tasting at the end of the workshop.
• small group instruction in English.
