Private cheese tastings at home in Provence & the French Riviera
Private cheese tastings at home
For a dinner, reception or tasting at home, I travel to your venue. Based in Aubagne, I work in Provence and on the French Riviera, with international travel by appointment. Together, we prepare a selection suited to your tastes, guest numbers and the moment you wish to serve cheese.
Selection, cutting and service
I bring a personalised selection. At the venue, I cut and serve the cheeses and guide you through the tasting. I share the stories of the producers, the character of their regions and the role of affinage, along with pairing advice.
A service dedicated to cheese
My service focuses on cheese. It can form part of a meal prepared by you or your chef, or be a standalone tasting. I do not provide a complete meal or a catering service.
A selection tailored to your guests
We discuss any theme, preferences, cheeses to avoid and dietary requirements. The timing and desired pairings help shape the selection for your event.
Organising your tasting
Tell me the location, date or approximate period, number of guests and proposed format. I will reply personally to discuss the service and prepare a quotation. Travel within France and internationally is arranged by appointment.
