Tour Description
Few things are more ingrained in French culture than sitting down for a good glass of wine, but with so many types and regions to choose from, how are you certain to drink the best during your stay in Paris?
During this Paris wine tasting experience, a local wine expert will take you to some local haunts, introduce you to the wine regions of France and their nuances, and show you how to find some of the best nectars on offer. You will taste some typical wine of various types and appellations and be spoiled with a glass of Grand Cru, all while nibbling on some sumptuous pre-dinner snacks.
At the end of your time together, you will be fully prepared for future nights in the charming wine bars of Paris, and perhaps you will have found a new desire to visit some of France’s wine regions for yourself.

David was superb. He was deeply knowledgeable on all things wine-related. His choice of venue, his illustrations and graphics, and his discussion of history and background were perfect. We all learned a lot, we tasted some wine we probably would not have sampled, and finished with some superb advice and ideas about food and wine in France.

David is highly knowledgeable about wines. Had great time listening to David explaining the about wines and wine regions of France.
I really appreciated the small group concept of the tour. Felt like I was part of the conversation as opposed to a person with an earpiece.
