Caviar Tasting

Step inside The Caviar Vault for a rare, immersive tasting experience guided by the Aimani family, founders of Paramount Caviar—purveyors to Michelin-starred chefs, royal households, and discerning gourmands for nearly 40 years.

1.5 hours
  • In a small, guided session, you'll explore six exceptional caviar and roe varieties, from innovative vegan creations to world-renowned selections sourced from the finest waters.

  • Discover the subtle textures, flavor progressions, and traditions that define true caviar excellence—personally curated by co-founder Hossein Aimani, whose roots trace back to Iran’s Caspian Sea and whose expertise has shaped menus across the globe.

  • Enjoy each tasting with traditional accompaniments, along with expert-led insights on pairings, service, and storytelling behind every pearl.

✨ What You'll Taste

  • Vegan Seaweed 'Caviar' – A fully seaweed-based, modern interpretation of caviar.

  • Danish Trout Roe – Bright orange pearls with a clean, refreshing burst.

  • Hackleback Caviar – Jet black pearls, buttery and bold—the all-American favorite.

  • Royal Siberian Caviar – Elegant and nuanced, recognized by Food & Wine as "The Most Complex" caviar.

  • Kaluga Hybrid Caviar – Amber-brown and intensely creamy; a Michelin favorite.

  • Imperial Osetra Caviar – The crown jewel: golden, complex, and indescribably refined.

🍾 Bring Your Own Bottle (BYOB)

Pair your tasting with your favorite champagne, crisp white wine, or vodka. Proper glassware and personalized pairing recommendations will be provided. (Non-alcoholic options available upon request.)

🧂 The Finishing Touches

  • Savor each variety with artisanal potato crisps, gluten-free wafer crackers, and crème fraîche or clotted cream.

  • Receive a mother-of-pearl spoon in an elegant sachet—your take-home keepsake and the proper tool for savoring caviar.

  • Enjoy exclusive vault-only pricing on your favorite selections, available only during your visit.

Whether you're a seasoned caviar enthusiast or simply curious, this experience offers a rare chance to taste, learn, and indulge in one of the world’s most luxurious culinary traditions—from the inside of a vault.
