Below are the 3 best cheese tours on the site: what each costs, how long it runs, and which city it leaves from. Summer sells out early in Germany, so the top of this list moves fastest.
90-minute Hamburg harbor cruise with 3 wine glasses, regional cheese, and live German commentary, plus sunset views over Speicherstadt.
“Great experience. Wine and cheese was lovely and plentiful. The crew were helpful and attentive. Commentary was German only but didn't detract from the trip, this is explained before booking.”
A 4-hour French wine and cheese tasting in candlelit Le Caveau, Cologne-Nippes, with a German sommelier and AOP pairings.
Champagne to Grand Cru in Cologne-Nippes: taste seven French wines and paired cheeses with sommelier Karl, in German.
“We were very lucky with the good weather, so the tasting could take place in the courtyard. Excellent wines and nice stories/anecdotes by the owner of the shop. We were served 9 almost full glasses of wine, not smaller measurements for tasting, so be prepared ;) Also, be aware it is all in German, not a tasting catered to foreign tourists. We managed because we can understand German, far better than we can speak it. Would not advise this experience if you're not comfortable with at least some conversational German/intermediate understanding of the language.”
