Wine Tasting In Paris

Sampling the wines of the various regions of France is no new idea for a vacation, but a well kept secret is that you don’t have to go to each of those regions to experience their wines. Paris has wine from each region available all in one city and often all under one roof.

Wines from every region can often be tasted during a tasting organized by a company or restaurant. The great benefit of one of these samplings is their impartial nature: an experienced sommelier will provide an overview of each wine and guide the experience, then elucidate on what to search for in each glass. There are offers of all sizes to match any expertise, budget and personality. No one should miss out on wine tasting when they visit Paris.

One novel idea is to invite a sommelier to your own apartment. If you’re traveling with friends, renting a residence in Paris is actually less expensive than booking a hotel and it’s definitely much more liberating and intimate. For the serious and dedicated oenophiles, the ultimate experience is having an expert sommelier bring his pick-of-the-litter of fine French wines to your private rental. Besides having the experience all to yourselves, already being home will minimize how far you have to stumble, should you allow yourself to become over served.
