Medieval & Roman Paris

The focus of this walk remains the wine history of Paris and its hidden vineyards, but without the tastings (except for one celebratory glass at the end). Therefore, it’s perfect for families and kids, or anyone who doesn’t want to combine wine with walking. Join us for an extensive tour through medieval and Roman Paris, uncovering how wine shaped the city and why Gothic architecture exists thanks to wine. We start right at the heart of the city—Île de la Cité and Notre Dame Cathedral—to explore the true origins of the Gothic style and see how wine helped build and restore Notre Dame. Paris has a rich viticultural heritage. One striking example was the now-forgotten Clos de Laas, one of the biggest ‘urban’ vineyards belonging to the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, thriving alongside the River Seine between Saint-Michel Bridge and Rue Dauphine. We wander down narrow lanes towards Hôtel de Cluny and the Gallo-Roman Museum, paying tribute to Paris as a center of knowledge during the Middle Ages while strolling past Université de la Sorbonne and Collège de France. Continuing onward, we pass sites like former vine plots such as Clos Bruneau and remnants of Montmartre Vineyard, whose grapes supplied taverners around Place de la Contrescarpe centuries ago. St-Étienne du Mont Church and Les Invalides each hold fascinating tales just like the vestiges of Philip Augustus Walls and charmingly quirky Rue Mouffetard. Meanwhile, Place de la Contrescarpe may be less known today, yet back then it buzzed with drinkers enjoying glasses of local vintages!

Vines in Saint-Germain-des-Prés

This unpretentiously modest vineyard, rooted in the very same earth where medieval wines were born, offers visitors a chance to experience terroir at one of Paris’s oldest and most celebrated neighborhoods. Abbey Saint-Germain-des-Prés once boasted some of Europe’s wealthiest holdings, including extensive vineyards stretching far beyond their walls. The abbey produced staggering quantities of wine for both consumption within its own community and export throughout northern Europe. Paris boasts another tiny vine plot on Place Félix Desruelles—hardly enough rows to call a vineyard but comprising just ten plants of Gamay grape variety sourced directly from the beaujolais hamlet of Julienas. What this little patch lacks in size, however, makes up for it through sheer passion among those who support it and the rich heritage behind these precious few shoots. One of the ten cru villages of Beaujolais, Julienas produces vibrant red fruit flavors thanks to grapes known locally as “black gamay” whose pale sap flows like water after harvest; picked entirely by hand today, they have substance sufficient to age gracefully over five to eight years if cultivated organically under proper conditions. Your tour will include ample tastings paired perfectly alongside seasonal produce found fresh daily at picturesque historical market hall Maréchal Saint Germain – think crisp salads made with local greens or perhaps hearty cheese platters accompanied by crusty loaves baked using traditional methods here amidst cobblestone streets lined with centuries old buildings - truly reminiscent times gone past!

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’, meaning swamp, was drained in the 12th century, primarily producing 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, tantalizing your taste buds 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 neighborhood 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 epitomizes 'the old Paris' and greatly contributes 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.
