    Alex was an informative and engaging guide. We learned about the neighborhood before settling down to a cheese and wine tasting. There was a lot more education provided regarding cheese making than just tasting.

    Alex helps you appreciate the importance of local sourcing - how to smell and savor French specialties from the difference regions. Because they are locally sourced, they are healthier than what we are used to in the US. We learned how to pair the wines we tried with the cheeses, and general rules for pairing wines. Such a fun evening!

    Chef Alex was great. We got a history lesson about Rue Mouffetard and its significance, the history of food and wine in Paris, and the importance of "pure food." Very interesting. Then we sampled amazing cheeses and wines, with fresh, WARM baguettes. Chef Alex's enthusiasm made the whole afternoon an experience. I'd redo in a heartbeat!

    We were so happy with this experience! Alex was so knowledgeable and passionate. We learned how to properly taste wine and learned about a lot of different cheeses. It was also so nice to learn more about the French culture. I would highly recommend!
