Guided tours

Vines once covered most of Paris and the wines were renowned throughout Europe. The modest vineyard of Saint-Germain-des-Prés has its roots in the same soil that gave life to wines in the Middle Ages, affording us the opportunity to sense the spirit of place in one of Paris' oldest and most renowned quarters.<br/><br/>This walk explores the wine history of Paris, the wealth generated through the sale of wine, and the role wine played in the city's growth. We evoke the spirit and daily life of the Middle Ages by walking around the area where the Abbey Saint-Germain-des-Prés once stood and learning about its wine history. We also learn about celebrities who have lived in the quarter and complete our experience with a blind wine tasting of three wines accompanied by seasonal vegetables, rustic fermented bread, and exquisite cheeses.
