In addition to having the best wine in the world, France is well-known for its cheese. This tasting consists of five different French cheeses and five French wines. Fresh bread, seasonal fruit, and a selection of sliced deli meats are served during this tasting to make it an unforgettable lunch destination in Aix.
Pairing cheese and wine is an art. This package combines two of France’s most famous exports in a unique way. During this lunch, you will experience the balancing of flavors between the different cheeses and wines.
Hilary and Brian have been developing relationships with local cheese makers for the past three years, uncovering the mystery behind this quintessential French food. Learn fun facts about the cheese making process, the history of cheese, France’s unique cheese classification system, and some of the most bizarre stories about this French culinary tradition.

FAQ
Will I still be hungry after the tasting?
No. The vast majority of our guests leave quite full and are satisfied until dinner.
Are your packages in English?
Yes! WineInProvence specifically caters to English speakers.
Where do we meet you?
For all of our packages we meet at the specified time beneath the clocktower in “Place Hôtel de Ville” in Aix-en-Provence. Please visit our
Where to Meet Us Page for all of the details.
What should we wear?
Our wine packages are casual, so we invite you to come dressed in the way you feel most comfortable.
What if the package I am interested in is not scheduled for the day(s) I am in Aix?
We try and stick to the schedule listed on our
Calendar. However, we are sometimes able to make special arrangements. Please
Contact Us and let us know all of the details as we would love to have you join us!
What if I don’t know anything about wine?
NOT A PROBLEM! Our goal is to create an atmosphere that is fun and not the least bit intimidating. No matter what your previous knowledge is about wine, we want you to taste, learn, and have an enjoyable experience.
Will there be other people?
We keep our groups to a limited size so as to provide a relaxed and intimate setting for our guests. There will most likely be other guests which makes the experience of sharing and wine all the more fun. If you would prefer a private event, please
Contact Us for our private rates.
What about children?
Children are welcome, but obviously are unable to partake in the wine tasting. Our Signature French Wine Tasting, which consists entirely of tasting wine, will probably not be of interest to children. For families with children, we recommend our
Market Day Cooking Class where there are more activities for them to participate in.
