Such a fun time!! Roman was so amazing and such a nice knowledge guy. Learning about how different cheeses are made and then doing the actual class of making cheese and butter. I will now be making my own butter at home from now on. So easy and tastes amazing!

diana_t, Mar 2024

Had the best time. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Following the instructor was easy and everything we made was delicious.

Fun experience

Laur_S, Feb 2024

Fun and informative. Guillermo was very knowledgeable and made the class fun. His cheese shop is lovely too with a large variety to choose from.

I still think about the butter

Irina_F, Jan 2024

It ended up just being me and my husband at the class (not a touristy time of year) but it was absolutely wonderful! Learned about the cheese making process, different types of cheeses and we made butter!! The best butter I’ve ever had! At the end of class we sampled a few different types of cheese. If it wasn’t for the class, I think I would have missed out on an important part of the French food culture. Also, the instructor was so kind and knowledgeable. Would totally recommend.

Fun times! Learned a lot!

LAURA_A, Jan 2024

Very knowledgeable very friendly and fun instructor. Hands on experience so I felt like I could replicate the process at home.

Excellent!

Charlotte_A, Dec 2023

Workshop was terrific! Guillaume is a true expert. Very knowledgeable. He explained the science behind cheese making in a thorough, but not boring, way. Our family had fun making our cheese, butter and learning in the process. Highly recommend.

Definitely a “must do” Paris experience

Michelle_R, Dec 2023

This was the most amazing experience! Highly recommend. When we first arrived we entered the cheese refrigerator (might not be the correct word). Pierre, the owner/master cheesemarker. Went through the different types of cheeses giving details about how they are made, aged, type of milk used, etc. Once completed we went upstairs to the cheese making stations. It was organized such that each group had their own work station. We were all giving aprons and each directed to wash our hands (which we did multiple times through the process). Every step of the process we explained in detailed (including the chemistry behind it). Truly educational and fun for the whole group. At the end, we enjoyed our homemade cheese and butter with a bottle of wine made by Pierre’s brother. Definitely a “must do” experience!

Cheese demystified

Terrific experience for our group of teenagers and 24 year old plus parents. Very welcoming and warm guide, terrific teacher and storyteller. We all felt proud of the cheese and butter we made and enjoyed. Highly recommend

Great Experience!

Rhea_B, Nov 2023

I had a great time making cheese and butter! I will highly recommend this workshop to friends and family.

Fun, educational, and delicious

Derrick_C, Oct 2023

Guillaume was amazing. He explained the process of making cheese and showed us their cheese cooler and explained the different types. We then went upstairs and started making the cheese. While the cheese was setting, he then taught us how to make our own butter. Once the cheese was ready we got to enjoy our cheese, our butter, wine, and other cheeses he cut. It was a small group of 5 so it was very hands on and interactive. He also gave us some great Paris recommendations.

Wonderful experience with...

Kevin_S, Oct 2023

Wonderful experience with a really knowledgeable teacher. Learned the basics of butter and cheese making

An experience to savor

Noelle_G, Oct 2023

This was informative and hands-on! A small group made it easy to participate and have a personal experience with our friendly teacher. It was made even better by ending the experience eating delicious cheeses. Two thumbs up from us!

The instructor as very clear and the class was a lot of fun. Really calm and cool. Would recommend everyone who loves cheese

Well done!

Liz_H, Sep 2023

3 of us joined with a couple to take the class. We made a light cheese and butter. The cheese wasn’t aged so not ready to eat but the instructions were very good. The butter we made was excellent.

Unexpectedly the highlight of the trip!

Michelle_G, Jul 2023

I really can't recommend this experience enough. I booked this last minute because I wanted to do a cooking class while in Paris, but there were none available that I thought my husband and I could enjoy together. I found this on Viator, and decided it sounded fun enough to give a try. It was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip- we learned so much about cheese, and made AMAZING BUTTER. Literally, I've never had such good butter in my life. The cheese we made was kinda closer to cheese curds, but getting to experience the whole process was so invaluable. Our instructor, Agathe, had a wicked sense of humor and the two hours flew by with her. This is a truly memorable experience- if you're on the fence, DO IT!

Fun and learning

Sylvia_F, Jun 2023

My husband and I had a wonderful time and learned a lot from the cheese craftsman. We strongly recommend this activity.

Delicious experience

Sam_E, May 2023

An amazing experience! We made Tomme cheese and butter. Then we tasted the butter with cheese samplings and a white wine.

Pierre was fun, approachable and knowledgeable. He made the adults and children in the group feel included. We made both a soft cheese and butter in two hours and both were delicious.

Making cheese has never been so fun

Michelle_d, Apr 2023

What an amazing experience! Pierre is an expert in his field and extremely knowledgeable! I loved that we worked in little groups and got the opportunity to learn about each others cultures in this way. Our cheese and butter was amazing!!!! 10/10 would recommend!!
