Do you think you already know Toulouse or is this your first visit?
Our cheese walk allows you to experience a unique evening combining cultural discovery of Toulouse AND cheese tasting.

ALL food is included.

On the program: for 3 hours, explore the historic center in the company of a former professional cheesemaker while tasting 5 delicious local cheeses, 2 regional wines and 1 local beer, all accompanied by games and historical anecdotes, often funny and often unknown by Toulouse residents themselves.

Each of the 5 stops will be an opportunity to talk to you about a particular point of this magnificent city at sunset AND to make connections with the cheese and the sensory games offered.

Through our VERY gourmet stroll in Toulouse, enjoy an immersive and unusual experience!
For lovers of cheese, wine AND/OR history!
Vegetarians are welcome!

What's Included

You will taste 6 cheeses and other local products. Enough to make a dinner!
I will pour you several glasses of wine and beer. A great introduction to local wine
Remember to bring water. Walking, wine and cheese can make you thirsty...
Remember to let me know if you don't drink alcohol so that we can plan a substitute drink.
