Fine times in the vines of Paris
Join us
There hasn’t been enough time this week to complete the post on which I’ve been working because we’ve been busy out walking. The weather is fine and the vines are flourishing. What better way to rediscover Paris than meandering through its parks and gardens? Join us!
There is a lot of interest in visiting vineyards when coming to France. But you can visit Paris and visit vineyards at the same time. You don’t have to travel to the other vineyard regions of the country to explore the vast range of French wines. We are the only agency offering visits to the vineyards of Paris, and among the only wine tasting experiences that only include living wines (without pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, or any of the up to 200 legal additives used in wine making).
Exploring this greener side of the city on foot is a healthy, inspiring, and surprising way of learning about the real story of Paris. The untold story of Paris is wine. The city grew out of wine, was shaped by wine, and is to this day one of the best places on earth to enjoy a glass.
To explore the vineyards of Paris and find again that spring in your step that the promise of renewed life brings, we invite you to join us on a wine walk, cultural tour, or treasure hunt. Tis the season to be out and about in the burgeoning green and the blossoming, flowering, budding perfume of nature’s infinite colour palette. Santé!
Thank you for letting me into your world and for reading the Paris Wine Walks Substack. Your support is invaluable as are your comments, suggestions, critiques, dreams, thoughts and remembrances. A little encouragement goes a long way, so please consider a paid subscription, which need cost no more than (a cheap) glass of wine per week. Or, book a wine walk!
My book, ‘The Hidden Vineyards of Paris’ (reviewed in Jancis Robinson’s wine blog, the Wine Economist, National Geographic Traveler UK, UK Telegraph) is available for purchase via our website and at anglophone bookshops and wine shops in Paris. You can also find it at the Musée de Montmartre and the Librairie Gourmande.
