Itinerary
Before starting your Parisian wine adventure you'll meet your guide with a small group at the designated meeting point. We’ll start the tour with a glass of champagne in a typical French brasserie as you will be introduced to the world of this iconic French wine.
The charming Île Saint-Louis is one of Paris’s most picturesque and historic neighborhoods. It is the heart of the city and you will learn about the historic origins of Paris. There will be a stop in a stylish wine bar for a glass of orange wine, where you'll learn about organic and natural winemaking in a relaxed setting.
From there, we head into the Marais — a district full of quiet courtyards, secret corners, and centuries of history. Along the way, we’ll explore several hôtels particuliers — elegant private mansions built for the French nobility, often hidden behind grand doors and steeped in fascinating stories. We’ll end the tour at a cozy wine bar with two handpicked French wines. You'll get an easy introduction to tasting wine like a sommelier, all while soaking up the atmosphere of hidden Paris.

Brilliant tour. Grigory is a personable and knowledgeable guide, that presents Paris in a unique and interesting way. The wine tasting was really impressive, I learned so much and the wine selections were paired perfectly with the food. Highly recommend!
Great tour. The guide is very knowledgeable and we had so much fun ! Thanks a lot for this beautiful afternoon Greg
This was one of the best experiences we had during our visit. Greg was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about both wine and the city. We visited charming streets we would never have found on our own and enjoyed several delicious wines along the way. The pacing was just right and the small group made it feel very personal. Would absolutely do this tour again!
Loved every stop on this experience. The pacing was excellent, enough walking to see interesting parts of the city but plenty of time to sit, taste, and chat. The small group made it feel very personal and our guide was great!
*A must-do for wine lovers visiting Paris* We started with a great introduction to French wine regions before heading through historic streets filled with stories and hidden corners. The cheese and wine pairing at the end was definitely a highlight. We learned a lot without feeling overwhelmed, perfect mix of education and fun.
We had a great time with Greg. He chose excellent spots for the wine tastings and the walks took us to some little known areas. Even though we are fairly knowledgeable about wine, we learned some new things. Highly, highly recommend.
We started the tour with a lovely glass of champagne at the meeting point while learning about the history of champagne, France’s wine regions, and the production process. We then walked to Île Saint-Louis, where we explored the island’s history and enjoyed a glass of orange wine served with olive tapenade and fresh French bread. Next, we strolled through the Marais district, visiting several hôtels particuliers and discovering the oldest house in Paris. To end the tour, we stopped at a cozy wine bar to taste two different red wines paired with a cheese board. During this final stop, we learned the basics of wine tasting. Overall, it was an excellent experience — well-balanced between culture and wine — and Greg was an incredibly knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended!
We really enjoyed our tour with Greg and learned a lot about Paris and wine tasting! The wines we had were all great! Such a fun thing to do in Paris! I’d highly recommend Greg for any tour.
Gregory met us at a central point right on time! We were able to explore some hidden gems in Paris, and sample a wonderful variety of wines at different venues! Really enjoyable experience!
Greg was personable & knowledgeable. He was extremely generous with his time. He was interested in our opinions & asked about our previous wine experiences in France. He showed us an area of Paris that we were not familiar with We would highly recommend this tour to others.
