Enjoyable wine & cheese tasting - We had a lovely couple of hours with chef Alex learning about French cheese, wine, and the local market. Although our group was large (20 ppl) chef Alex made us all feel part of the group and it was an enjoyable afternoon. We especially appreciated his follow up text with a list of all the items in the tasting, as well as pictures. Definitely recommend!

Super afternoon nice mixture of culture, cheese and wine - A really lovely experience. Chef Alex was great , he gave a very informative guided walk and talk around the market with a nice mix of discussion about history and culture. After the little walk around the market we went to his restaurant. 3 nice wines and 6 great cheeses and sides. All well explained by chef Alex. Very enjoyable and great value.

Phenomenal! - Our tour with Alex was fantastic! He took us on a nice stroll through the market where we got to try some local produce and chocolate. All while telling us about the history of France and the food culture. Then we got to sit down and eat like Parisians, it was lovely. Great wine and cheeses, learned so much and made great friends!

Wine & cheese tasting with a side of REVOLUTION - This was a very informative wine & cheese tasting. My wife & I learned of it from a trio of Welsh ladies we met at a wine tasting in VIENNA. Chef Alex greeted out group of ten and took us on a tour of the Mouffeltard area in the Latin Quarter of Paris. We stopped at several local provisioners and sampled their wares while he spoke of the importance of resisting autocratic rule. We ended up at tables in his restaurant (The Mouffeltard) and he introduced us to a progressive set of cheeses paired with appropriate wines. The time spent with Alec was thoroughly enjoyable!
