Fromage and Wine Discovery
Overview
Think of France. If you’re anything like us, two things spring to mind –fromage and wine!
In this workshop we'll explore the world of French cheese and wine as we taste our way around France.
We'll start our workshop with a visit to the historic Ile Saint Louis just minutes from the school, where our favorite local ‘fromager affineur’ awaits. There, your chef will help you navigate a classic Fromagerie in France and you'll select some fantastic fromages to enjoy with wine back at the school.
During this 2.5-hour experience, you will learn all about...
· The history of cheese- and wine-making in the different regions of France
· The importance of French food labels and how to understand them
· Tasting and serving tips for a variety of wines and cheeses
· The wonderful world of cheese and wine pairings, and what to look for when pairing them with other foods
During this Tour and Tasting, you'll savour a selection of 8-12* of France's finest cheeses ! Naturally, your Fromage adventure will be accompanied by wines from various regions in France. We wouldn't dream of having a Fromage and Wine experience without fresh baguettes, so expect plenty of accompaniments from our favorite local boulangerie.
If you are a French Fromage and Wine enthusiast wanting to learn more, this is the experience for you.
à savoir
We will be doing a bit of walking to the Fromager from the School, so please wear weather-appropriate shoes and clothing!
*please note that we always opt for quality over quantity of Fromage. The number of fromage samples can vary depending on what is available and what is at its seasonal best!
