Comté, mountain cooking & the cult wines of the Jura

In the Jura, food and wine are shaped by mountain weather, long winters, and small-scale traditions that have remained remarkably intact. Comté anchors the table, wines are distinctive and expressive, and meals lean heavily into seasonality and place.

This class explores the Jura’s emerging wine culture alongside its deeply rooted mountain cuisine through alpine cheeses, rustic dishes, and wines from one of France’s most exciting small regions. Expect earthy flavors, natural winemaking traditions, and food designed for cooler weather.

Independent, understated, and quietly compelling.

Each Eat the World experience includes:

  • A guided wine flight;
  • Four paired small bites featuring regional cheeses, accoutrements, and familiar regional dishes;
  • A rich, educational tour of the city’s culinary traditions led through immersive storytelling from our Wedgewood cheese and wine experts;
  • Access to limited and seasonal wine and cheese selections curated specifically for the featured destination.
