All about the cheese!! - This was so much fun! Geraud gave us so much information about the history of cheese, its production, various French terroirs, and the different types (families) of cheeses. He was very generous…I think we tried eleven different cheeses. The last was a chocolate chili cheese, yum!! The pairings were two white wines, a hard cider, a red wine, and a dessert wine. He told us many cheese “stories” to keep us entertained. He has a beautiful shop that you will definitely want to browse in. Highly recommend!

Merveilleuse! - Lovely tasting with wines paired perfectly to the 10 or more cheeses. The history of cheese, the nine families of cheese, the regions and process of cheesemaking were all explained and deepened our understanding of the selections. A great experience for wine and cheese lovers!! Geraud knows his cheese and enjoys sharing it with you. Deinitely would do this again !!! Thank you Geraud!

Fun but informative time enjoying cheese and wine - Four of us did the 2 hour cheese and wine tasting. It was very informative and a lot of fun learning about different types of cheese’s and the wines that pair with them. There was interesting stories about the different cheeses and we also learned how to cut the cheeses and serve them. I would highly recommend this experience.

A delicious education! - Geraud does a fantastic job of explaining types of cheese, pairing the cheeses with delicious wines and a cider, and providing some history and backstory of the cheeses we tried! This exceeded our expectations. Fantastic!

Fabulous Pairings of Wine and Cheese - Our first time St. Martin visiting friends took us on this tour. I especially liked M. Vallet’s concept of matching regions: cheese to wine or vice versa. A very comprehensive general history of cheese manufacture as well as details on the individual cheeses, as our cheese master guided us slowly and patiently through each of the seven cheeses we entertained. I loved all of them cheeses except for the stinky one, it was not the odour rather the taste I was indifferent to. The piece de resistance to me was the last t blue cheese and the Sauternes like wine with it. A very generous just with his cheese, wine, and time. Highly recommended if you wish to learn something that impresses you.

A Must Try - We had a wonderful time with Geraud learning all about cheese. We had nine different cheeses to sample representing 9 different groups. Geraud was a great host with very interesting stories. He has strong connections with artisanal farmers. Geraud's cheeses are very unique and tasted amazing. My favourite was the le galet boise. It had an ever so slight walnut flavour which was amazing. I am not a white wine drinker but after tasting the wines paired with the different cheeses, I may just become a white wine drinker. This tasting workshop was well worth the money and we would highly recommend you give them a try. Or just go and buy some of Geraud’s cheeses. You will not be disappointed.
