What to expect
You'll arrive at a charming venue in the heart of Paris's Latin Quarter and settle into a small group. Thierry will guide you through tasting six wines—one Champagne, two whites (Loire and Burgundy), and three reds (Burgundy, Bordeaux, and either Rhône or Languedoc). Rather than simply sipping, you'll learn the techniques sommeliers use: how to observe colour, nose the wine, and palate it properly. The selection may shift seasonally or based on availability.
Throughout the session, Thierry will talk you through each region's characteristics and what makes each wine distinctive. If you've arranged a cheese platter beforehand, it arrives for pairing. The tasting wraps after about 2 hours.

Good to know
This works well for anyone curious about French wine or wanting to understand tasting basics without pretension. No wine knowledge is assumed. Be aware: minimum age is 18 (it's alcohol-focused), and while the venue is fully wheelchair accessible with accessible transport nearby, you'll need to arrange your own travel to get there. If you want cheese, you must email ahead and pay on arrival—don't assume it'll be available. Groups max out at 12, so the experience stays intimate. Suitable for all fitness levels.
