Paris Wine Walks handlar om att dela med sig av saker – personliga berättelser, vin, bröd och mat. Det är en resa genom Paris; dess vingårdar, vinkulturhistoria, medeltida kvarter, människorna som bor där samt deras fantastiska viner. Vi talar här om levande vinstockar och levande viner!

Medieval & Roman Paris

The focus of this walk is still the wine history of Paris and its hidden vineyards, but without the tastings (other than one celebratory glass at the end). It is therefore ideal for families and children, or those who don't want to mix wine with their walking. Join us on a comprehensive overview of Medieval and Roman Paris, and discover how wine built Paris and how gothic architecture owes its existence to wine. Starting at the epicentre of the city on the Île de la Cité and Notre Dame, we learn the real beginning of the gothic style and how wine built and restored Notre Dame. The vineyard history of Paris is vast. An example is the forgotten Clos de Laas, one of the largest 'city' vineyards that belonged to the Abbaye Saint-Germain-des-Prés, which once flourished along the banks of the Seine from Saint-Michel to the rue Dauphine. Following side streets, we make our way to the Hotel Cluny and the Roman Baths and pay homage to Paris as the centre of learning in the Middle Ages, passing by La Sorbonne University, and the College de France. Our walk continues past the site where the vines of the Clos Bruneau once grew, and where the lost vineyards of the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève provided wines for the taverns of the Place de la Contrescarpe. The church of St-Etienne du Mont and the Pantheon have their own stories as does the vestige of the Philippe Auguste Wall and the rue Mouffetard. The Place de la Contrescarpe a popular drinking spot in the Middle Ages, is still crowded with a lively bar scene. From here we make our way to Les Arènes de Lutece, 2000 years of history and a hidden vineyard that brings the story of the Clos des Arènes, a vineyard that belonged to the Abbaye St-Victor in the 12th century, back to life. Our tour ends with a celebratory glass of organic sparkling wine. We require a minimum of 6 participants.

Vines in Saint-Germain-des-Prés

This discreetly modest vineyard with its roots in the same soil that gave life to wines in the Middle Ages, affords us the opportunity of sensing the spirit of place in one of Paris' oldest and most renowned quarters. The Abbey Saint-Gemain-des-Prés was one of the richest institutions of its day with vineyards extending in all directions. It produced an astonishing amount of wine, which was consumed by the residents of the Abbey, and also exported to most Northern European countries. The Square Félix Désruelles hosts Paris’ smallest vineyard. With only ten vines of Gamay from the Beaujolais village of Julienas, it can hardly be called a vineyard. But the modesty of the vineyard is more than compensated by the enthusiasm of its supporters and the history it represents. Julienas is one of the ten Beaujolais crus. Its fruity and lively wine comes from a black gamay with white juice, still handpicked. It has good body and when grown naturally and vinified properly, can be kept from 5 to 8 years. This walk includes a comprehensive tasting of wines in the charming, historic, Marché Saint-Germain. Seasonal vegetables, exquisite cheeses and rustic organic bread accompany the tasting.

Wine Your Way Through the Marais

Wine your way through the Marais and discover the Marais' secret vineyard on this highly original wine walk. The hidden vineyard of the charming Joseph Mignaret garden in the heart of the Marais is a surprising discovery. The 'Marais', which means swamp, drained in the 12th century, primarily produced market vegetables, but there were vines here too. An extensive vineyard attached to the Hotel Royal Saint Pol produced wines in the Middle Ages, so the history of the vine here is as old as the quarter's history. Join us for this exceptional experience as we meander through one of Paris' oldest quarters and explore another aspect of the role the vine still plays in the urban landscape. A blind tasting of a sparkling wine is shared midway through the tour, and an exclusive wine tasting (with cheeses, bread and seasonal vegetables) reflecting the flavours of the varietals planted here will complete this unique outing.

Latin Quarter Unbottled

This tour takes you on an insider's journey to some of the hidden treasures of the Latin Quarter, tantalising your tastebuds and awakening all your senses along the way. Starting in the second oldest park in Europe where we discover one of the city's hidden vineyards, we make our way past the spot where the Abbaye Saint Victor once stood and where the wines of Paris were stored until the 1950s. Our first tasting is in another hidden vineyard, held outdoors. The Latin Quarter undoubtedly has the longest wine history of any neighbourhood in the city. From the vineyards planted by the Romans on the Montagne Saint Geneviève, maintained and expanded by Cistertian monks, through the Abbaye Saint Victor, the wine storage of the Halle aux Vins and the taverns of the Place de la Contrescarpe and the rue Mouffetard, wine has been part of daily life for more than 2000 years. Somewhat later than other quarters of the city, the natural wine movement is slowly taking root and bringing with it a renaissance in innovative cuisine. Includes 2 blind wine tastings, the first with a sparkling wine and the second with 3 wines accompanied by exquisite cheeses, rustic bread and seasonal nibbles. Minimum 8 participants.

Clos Montmartre - Paris in Your Glass

The most celebrated of Paris' intra-muros vineyards, the Clos Montmartre epitomises ‘the old Paris’ and contributes greatly to giving one the impression that they are far away from the madding crowds of the city. This sense of being in the countryside with well-tended vines covering the gentle slope of the ‘clos’ encourages a certain nostalgia for the old Montmartre, glimpses of which are still very much present today. The walk recounts the wine history of Montmartre and the Abbey de Montmartre, and includes anecdotes about the artistic, literary, and cultural history of the village. There is a fine view of the Clos Montmartre vineyard from the parapet in the garden of the Musée de Montmartre and it is here, overlooking the vineyard, that we detail its history. Following the visit of the vineyard from the museum gardens, it is a short walk to our wine tasting on the Place du Tertre, the heartbeat of the Montmartre village. 2024 was among the six worst years for wine in 200 years, and so sadly, there is no Clos Montmartre wine to be had in 2025. Instead, there are 3 wines - a white and two reds - which will be tasted blind so that the participants can guess what grape(s) they are tasting and from which region the wines come. The wine tasting will be accompanied by shared plates of cheeses and rustic fermented bread.
