Paris Wine Walks — Local services in Paris

If you’re looking for a unique and immersive experience in Paris, this walking wine tasting tour of the Latin Quarter is absolutely unmissable. It’s more than just a wine tour—it’s a journey through time, celebrating the incredible legacy of winemaking that once made Paris the greatest wine-producing region in the world.

We began our adventure in one of the city’s best-kept secrets: a hidden vineyard in the second oldest park in Europe. From there, we wandered through the historic streets of the Latin Quarter, passing the former site of the Abbaye Saint Victor, where the wines of Paris were stored until the 1950s. Geoffrey painted vivid pictures of the past, bringing to life the monks, merchants, and writers who once walked these same paths with a glass of wine in hand.

The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly our first tasting held in an ancient Roman amphitheater with a hidden vineyard, a truly magical outdoor setting. Sipping wine in such a historic place, surrounded by the echoes of centuries-old traditions, felt like a privilege.

As we continued our walk, we discovered how deeply entwined wine is with the identity of the Latin Quarter. From the vineyards first planted by the Romans on the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, to the Cistercian monks who expanded and maintained them, to the storied past of the Halle aux Vins and the lively taverns of the Place de la Contrescarpe and rue Mouffetard, every corner of the neighborhood seemed to whisper tales of winemaking. Geoffrey’s deep knowledge of both oenology and history made every moment fascinating, seamlessly blending facts with storytelling in a way that kept us completely captivated.

This tour is a true celebration of Paris’ forgotten wine heritage and an absolute must for wine lovers, history buffs, or anyone who wants to experience the city in a completely new way. Whether you’re a seasoned wine connoisseur or simply someone who enjoys a good glass with a great story, you’ll leave with a newfound appreciation for the role of wine in shaping Paris’ cultural and...

My friend and I were visiting Paris and decided to book one of Geoffrey's wine tours in Paris. Geoffrey is an exceptional tour guide sharing personal stories of his life in Paris and his astounding historical knowledge on French wine. He encouraged group conversation with openness and acceptance of the many different opinions about the wines we were all sampling. Even those who do not have a strong interest in wine will walk away from this tour with excitement from the people they've met, the conversations they had, the beautiful sights they have seen, and their new found appreciation wine. Words cannot express how high of an opinion my friend and I have about Geoffrey and his tour. The memories of this evening will last a lifetime and we are grateful for the experience. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed! Merci beaucoup...

I originally booked the Clos Montmartre tour because I had always wanted to get inside this infamous vineyard that is closed to the public most days of the year, and the Paris Wine Walks tour gets you inside! As exciting as that is, this tour is so much more than that. Geoffrey is incredibly knowledgeable about natural wine and the city of Paris. You will get a walking tour of Montmartre, followed by a tour of the Montmartre vineyard, and ending with a tasting which includes wine from this Paris vineyard! Geoffrey’s energy and enthusiasm is infectious! My sister-in-law doesn’t even like wine, and she thoroughly enjoyed herself. You will too!

On my next trip to Paris, I had to sign up for one of his other tours. The Latin Quarter Unbottled tour did not disappoint. You too will not be disappointed if you book a tour with...
