Outstanding - My husband and I attended a private wine and cheese pairing with Stéphane. We had a wonderful experience. We tasted, we learned, and we laughed a lot. The wines, breads and cheeses were delicious. It was an education and entertainment in one sitting and a highlight of our trip to Paris.

Le Foodist wine and cheese pairing - Our evening at Le Foodist was one of our highlights of our trip to Paris. Stephane was charming and humorous while teaching us wine and cheese pairings. Everything was delicious. Such a great time. As first timers to Paris we were concerned how to get to the building. There is a bus stop only minutes away. Very easy to get to and a lovely area. Fred the owner contacted me even before we arrived in Paris to coordinate times of our class. Just a wonderful experience all around. Find the time ! Take the class ! Totally worth it

Fabulous wine and cheese class, sword optional - I think Stephan may have been a little shocked at our sheer ignorance of French wine and cheese, but my goodness we learned a lot! A highlight was when my sister got to pop open a champagne bottle with a sword and we all learned how to open one with just a champagne glass—definitely fabulous new party tricks! This was a super fun experience that I highly recommend.

Wonderful class with Stephane - We really enjoyed our wine and cheese pairing with Stephane. He was knowledgeable about the wine and cheese but he made the class interesting and fun. We laughed so much with him. If we return to Paris I would definitely take more classes at Le Foodist.

Lots of fun at the Wine and Cheese Pairing - Three friends and I recently did the Wine and Cheese Pairing Class at Le Foodist with Stephane. I can say, for me, it was a great success. It was fun, informative and delicious. The class was led by Stephane, who was very informative and I really felt like I learned a bit about wine and cheese and how to pair them together in a way to bring out the flavors of both. And it was also fun, Stephane was very engaging and made sure to include everyone, there were 7 people all together. We tasted the wine, the cheese, talked about nuances and flavors but not in an overly pretentious way. We even learned how to open a bottle of champagne with a saber! That's all I'll say about it-but trust me it was great! I highly recommend this class, and this company. I had taken a cooking class the previous year, 2018, and really enjoyed that as well. I feel, for me, I would definitely return to do another class if I return to Paris. Merci beaucoup, Stephane, a bientôt! Susan
