Food and wine tasting in Chamonix: Savoie wines and cheeses

In Chamonix, the mountains are as good to taste as they are to climb. Reblochon, tomme, Savoie charcuterie, Apremont or Chignin wines: the valley has a real terroir, and several outings let you discover it without booking a table at random.

The formats

• Wine, cheese and charcuterie tasting: the essentials, often in under an hour and at a low price. Ideal at the end of the day, after skiing or hiking.
• Culinary walking tour: discover central Chamonix with tasting stops at local artisans and producers.
• Winter food tour: a half-day to work through the flavours of the season, mountain dishes included, when the village slows down under the snow.
• Cultural tour plus tasting: for those who want to understand the place as much as taste it, heritage and terroir in one outing.

What you’ll taste

The Savoie wines first, bright and mineral whites (Apremont, Chignin, Roussette) that pair perfectly with the cheeses. On the cheese side, reblochon and tomme de Savoie lead, alongside local charcuterie. Depending on the outing, you’ll add alpine-pasture products and regional specialities.
