What To Expect

Spend an evening sampling the best of French wine during a wine- and Champagne-tasting session in Paris. Make your way to a beautifully renovated wine cellar in Paris' city center, not far from the Louvre Museum, and settle in for a French wine masterclass.

With guidance from a sommelier, taste six different French wines from all over the country. Learn what makes French wines so beloved. Hear about how Champagne is made, and why it's long been considered the best bubbly. Find out how to taste wine correctly, what words like "appellation" and "terroir" mean, and how to read a French wine label.

This wine tasting is designed to give you a deeper understanding of French wines in a relaxed setting where you can actually enjoy what you're learning. Sip wine and nibble fresh bread, or upgrade to add a plate of cheese and/or charcuterie for a more substantial snack.

At the conclusion of the tasting, you'll receive a list of all the wines you sampled, and leave with greater confidence for the next time you're handed a wine list in a restaurant.

Awesome experience

VidyaS, May 2026
Our sommelier, Gerald, was very knowledgable and took the time to explain a lot of details about each wine we tasted, the wine making process and general information about the industry. Wines were decent.

We had a great time with Mel during this tasting and learned a lot about French wine! We got to sample 6 different wines and had the charcuterie and cheese platters. Mel was very informative and funny and made me want to come back for a wine trip to Rhône!

Great tour!

Ashley_C, Apr 2026
We had a great time! Our sommelier was fabulous. Very knowledgeable. The wine was great and so was the cheese and charcuterie.

French Appellations + Laury = Heaven

Anne_M, Apr 2026
Our sommelier Laury was excellent! She was so knowledgeable about wine, was funny and all together a fun, smart, driven person to hang out with. Laury, a future Master of Wine, kept us all entertained and educated us on many different characteristics of wine and the art of wine tasting. She was able to answer all questions and did it with humor and extensive knowledge. My husband and I who have joined many wine tasting as well as hosted many for family, loved her choice of wines. We learned so much from her and really enjoyed all of the wines. While some wines aren't my favorite, I can appreciate all of the different appellations. I would definitely recommend anyone who has any interest in wine - even just a slight interest- to attend one of these wine tastings.

Perfect experience for a Parisian experience

Alyssa_B, Mar 2026
I booked this on a family vacation as a fun experience for the Moms in the group. We were so pleasantly surprised of the amount of wine for the price! It was 6 generous pours plus a plant of cheese, meat or combination of both for each person. It was an intimate group of people and our wine guide was VERY knowledgeable. The session was all in English. We got plenty of time to chat with other people during the class. All of the wines we tasted were available to purchase as individual bottles or 12 bottles (2 of each we sampled) could be shipped to the US for around 550 euro. We bought a lovely bottle of champagne for 33 euro. It was delicious and a reasonable price for a souvenir to enjoy at home. I would highly recommend. Great value and fun experience.

Interesting evening

Nicola_T, Mar 2026
Very interesting, more if a history lesson but still enjoyable. Don't bother with the extra for cheese or meat, not good value for money.

Don't start your trip to France without this tour

Parker_L, Oct 2025
This was a great overview of the wine regions of France. My wife added the charcuterie option and I added the cheese option for a mixed plate (the host staff recommended this). Plenty of bread and water available. Our host was informative and spoke English very well. We also enjoyed meeting our fellow travelers. Great experience! -- We recommend that you start your trip to France with this tour.

Well worth it!

Kathy_T, Oct 2025
The teacher was very knowledgeable and passionate about French wine, the wine regions, and the process of making wine. The selection of wines was excellent, and a charcuterie plate with cheeses and bread was included. It was well worth it. We loved it!
