Wine Tasting In the City of Light

If you’re passionate about wine tasting Paris is one of the best places to enjoy it. Burgundy and the Loire Valley are perhaps the country’s best known wine regions, although there are dozens of others and sampling lets you explore all these regions. There’s even a small vineyard in the Paris area of Montmartre, which has been producing wine for centuries. Tastings can be found all over the city, ranging from casual affairs in wine stores to more elegant and formal events. If you are new to tastings, keep in mind it’s as much a social event as a chance to sample wines. Be open to suggestions and ask questions, as well as taking notes to help you remember what you like. Don’t just drink wine; drink water between the different wines. And most tastings also provide appropriate snacks to complement the wines.
