About this tour
Work through six French wines across the country's premier regions in a intimate Latin Quarter venue with Thierry, a certified sommelier trained in Burgundy. Over two hours, you'll taste selections from Champagne, Loire Valley, Burgundy, Bordeaux, and the Rhône or Languedoc, learning the habits of professional tasters along the way. Groups stay small—maximum 12 people—so there's genuine space to ask questions and linger over each pour.
Highlights
- Six wines spanning Champagne, Loire, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Rhône
- Sommelier-led tasting techniques used by professionals
- Charming space in the heart of the Latin Quarter
- Small groups of 12 maximum for genuine interaction
- Optional cheese platters available with advance notice
What to expect
Thierry walks you through each wine methodically—how to look, smell, and taste properly. You'll handle real examples: a crisp Loire white, structured Burgundy reds, Bordeaux depth, and Champagne's finesse. The selection rotates seasonally, so your tasting may shift. The venue feels intimate rather than formal; questions are encouraged. If you've arranged cheese beforehand, it arrives during the tasting to complement the wines. Allow time to absorb what you're learning rather than rushing through six pours.
