Incredible Wine. Divine Cheese. The Best Tour Guide!

Our private wine and cheese pairing with Lilly was one of the absolute highlights of our Paris trip—and that’s saying a lot! Lilly shared her vast knowledge with grace and passion, which made the experience fascinating and memorable. My husband, who is well schooled in wine, was genuinely impressed by Lilly’s depth and breadth of wine knowledge. And beyond her expertise, she has that rare gift of making you feel completely at ease, as though you’re spending an evening with a particularly brilli...read more

Our experience tasting wines and cheeses was fabulous and I recommend it 100%. We were a family group of 10 people at the Polidor restaurant.

We loved his simple way of explaining everything. A truly great teacher and very knowledgeable. We all came away fascinated by everything that guided us and helped us learn. Now we have a muc...read more

Increíble experiencia aprendiendo sobre el vino y sus propiedades

Nuestra experiencia probando vinos y quesos fue fabulosa y la recomiendo en un 100%. Fuimos un grupo familiar de 10 personas en el restaurante Polidor.

Nos encantó su forma sencilla de explicar todo. Un gran maestro en verdad y muy conocedor. Todos salimos fascinados de todo lo que nos orientó y ayudó a aprender.

<p>Our teacher/apartment owner was extremely knowledgable and made the whole experience quite entertaining. This was in a wonderfully quaint Paris apartment and we felt like we were visiting our distant relative. A great experience---highly recommend---especially if you get Myriam...she was terrific!</p>
