5.00Sitting in an apartment with a small group of people from around the world made the wine tasting a very convivial experience. The Host was knowledgeable and helped bring the wines to life. All round, a great experience.
Taste wines without leaving the city!

5.00Learned a lot abt the regional wines- but not overwhelming- just the right amount of information. Our preference would have been to visit a couple of vineyards, but not an option as it was over the holidays and unavailable. We were so happy we did it this way. Took less time, understand better how to choose a French wine I like, and found a new wine we love. (Got complimented on ordering it last night!) The space is very comfortable and welcoming. Our guide was very friendly & knowledgeable. A GREAT experience. Look no further, just book it!

5.00Our sommelier Julia was delightful and full of vino knowledge. We could not ask for a better wine tasting expert who was engaging, inquisitive and personable. The setting is a quaint living room vibe with comfortable seating. We thoroughly enjoyed the Cremant De Bourgogne sparkling wine - that is a go to from now on. We tasted white and red wines allowing us to explore several appellations and the differences between the whites and reds. Overall a great learning experience of Burgundy, Jura, Beaujolais and Lorie Valley regions. The French produce excellent wines--understanding the wine labels is another matter.
Super fun and interesting- something for everyone!
