Natural Wine Tasting with Cheese Pairings in Paris

About this tour

Taste five natural wines paired with cheese in a relaxed Canal Saint-Martin wine bar run by Brave and Olivia, seasoned advocates of low-intervention winemaking. Unlike formal Parisian tastings, this 90-minute session happens in a neighbourhood haunt where wine chat flows freely and pretension stays at the door. Brave's decade-plus track record in Paris's natural wine scene means you'll learn what makes these bottles different—funky, alive, occasionally cloudy—without the lecture-hall vibe.

Highlights

• Five natural wines with cheese pairings included
• Hosted by Brave, ten-year natural wine specialist
• Canal Saint-Martin location, away from tourist circuit
• Cosy neighbourhood wine bar atmosphere
• Approachable education, zero snobbery
• Snacks provided throughout session

What to expect

You'll walk into a proper local wine bar—the kind where regulars perch on stools and the owners actually want to chat with you. Brave will guide you through five glasses, explaining what natural wine means in practice: minimal sulphites, no fining agents, sometimes a bit of sediment or fizz you won't find in supermarket bottles. Each pour comes with cheese to show how flavours shift. Expect tangents, honest takes on what works and what doesn't, and genuine curiosity about what you taste. The room is small and conversational; you're tasting alongside other curious drinkers, not in rows.

Good to know

Located near Canal Saint-Martin with public transport access. Not suitable for pregnant travellers. Service animals welcome. Comfortable shoes recommended; you'll be standing at the bar. Arrive thirsty but not hungry—the snacks complement wine, they don't replace a meal.
