With its temperate climate, varied terrain and fertile soil, France is widely believed to produce some of the finest wines and cheeses in the world. The country's pride in its national produce runs deep and from Normandy in the north to Provence on the Mediterranean coast, France is considered by many to be the perfect place for wine and cheese production.
Sample five different cheeses and four wines during your tasting class and gain an appreciation for the subtle flavors and textures at play. Learn how to differentiate between the varied wines and cheeses you taste, and gain an understanding of how the complex flavors complement each other.
The exact cheeses chosen for your class will depend on the season, and the wines are carefully selected to match. Perhaps sample a creamy blue Roquefort from the Midi-Pyrénées region, the hard mountain Comté from the Jura, a rich Normandy Camembert or a Rigotte de Condrieu goat’s cheese from Rhône-Alpes.The selection of wines will also vary, but could include a red and white Coteaux de Pierrevert AOP from Provence and Château Barberane red, among others.
