The 5 Best Wine Tours From Paris, France [2024 Reviews]

Over the years, Paris has been known as many things – the city of lights, the city of love, and the fashion capital of the world. Well, France’s capital city is all that and much more. It is no wonder that it is such a popular international travel destination or that it’s one of the most populated cities in the European Union. Overall, there are a ton of things Paris is known for, but one very Parisian thing that we all know and love is wine!

Originating all the way back to the 6th Century BC, French wine has only grown and become better and more varied over the centuries. Starting with the colonization of Southern Gaul by the Greek Settlers and then expanded by The Roman Empire licensing several French regions for wine production, French wine has a long history. It was during the Middle Ages that monks primarily maintained the French vineyards and continued to pass down their skills and knowledge throughout the generations. Eventually, nobility came to develop extensive areas of vineyards for wine production.

Of course a lull within the wine industry was inevitable as The French Revolution led to many vineyards previously owned by the Church to be taken. A devastating blow to the industry caused by the spread of mildew occurred in the 19th century, but still didn’t destroy the Parisian love of wine.

After the second World War, modern wine growers helped rebuild the industry partly thanks to the government implementing the Appellation d’Origine Controlee in 1935 to help protect the French wine industry. Nearly any parisian would agree that your trip to their fair city would be incomplete without a proper wine tasting. Add some cheeses, breads, and pastries to your tour for even more Parisian culinary delights!

Must-Visit Wineries near Paris and How to Get to Them

Paris used to be surrounded by vineyards and market gardens, but almost all of them were swallowed up by the huge growth of the city in the 19th century. Wineries near Paris aren’t hard to access, though!

While a guided trip is always an option, you can access some of the best Paris wineries on your own with a little research and planning.

Read along for our list of our favorite wineries near Paris.

Top wineries near Paris by region

Burgundy (Bourgogne in French) is not just an apellation d’origine controlée , but also inscribed on the UNESCO world heritage list , together with the city of Dijon as a wine heritage site. 

Dijon is about an hour and a half by train from the Gare de Lyon in Paris, and its wine heritage is on display everywhere, from the great winemakers’ mansions in the old city to the many wine bars and cellars. You can even see the 13th century wine presses set up by the Dukes of Burgundy in the little suburb of Chenove.

The vineyards are so close to the city that you could simply rent a bike and take to the road. Or, if you prefer a more organized approach, take one of the many tours offered by the local tourism office . 

The vineyards of the Champagne region are the closest to Paris, right at the edge of the great limestone basin that forms the Île-de-France district with Paris at its center. The countryside is remarkably beautiful, with rocky ridges and forests contrasting the lines of vines on the slopes below. Its calcareous soils and undulating slopes, together with its northern, cool climate, create the distinctive terroir of Champagne.

But it’s what happens in the wineries themselves that’s really important. First up is the aging in oak barrels, which gives Champagne a subtle woody flavor. Next comes the blending, and finally (once it’s been bottled) is the “riddling,” or turning the bottles around daily to enable the lees to settle in the bottlenecks, making Champagne crystal clear.

Not sure where to start your Champagne adventure? There are more than 250 kilometers of cellar tunnels dug out of the soft stone beneath the city of Reims, so that’s your best bet. It’s just 45 minutes by train from Gare de l’Est.

Pommery is one of the biggest houses in Reims, with massive cellars (some of them dating from the time of the Romans, who started the wine tradition here!). This is the must-do visit, and easily the most impressive. 

You can also visit some of the other great names in Champagne, among them Mumm , Veuve Cliquot , Lanson or Taittinger . Taittinger’s cellars date from the 13th century, and it’s one of the few Champagne houses still in family ownership. Its vintage Comtes de Champagne is one of the most highly rated Champagnes, and a truly exceptional wine.

Before you go : Check with the Reims Tourist Office to see which cellars are open when you visit. 

Reims isn’t the end-all-be-all of the world’s most iconic sparkling wine. Alternatively, you could take the slower train (an hour and a half) to Epernay, the second capital of Champagne. 

At Mercier , a little train makes its way through the massive cellars for a quirky experience. However, the star attraction here is the huge barrel that competed with the Eiffel Tower for visitors’ attention at the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1900. It holds the equivalent of 250,000 bottles of Champagne! 

Perrier-Jouet and Moët & Chandon also offer tours, but don’t be afraid to check out smaller producers like Michel Gonet or Venoge in Epernay. Both are housed in lovely 19th century mansions on the leafy Avenue de Champagne, with a laid-back feel that the big touristic cellars can’t match. 

Walk the Avenue itself and you’ll find a half dozen more Champagne houses. Keep an eye out for the wine producers’ association headquarters, complete with a Champagne glass-themed pavement in its courtyard!

Urban wineries near Paris

Ever thought about discovering vineyards actually inside the city? Though most of the old Paris vineyards have been built over, a few still remain. And in recent years, some new vineyards have been planted, reestablishing links with the city’s winemaking history.

There’s a tiny vineyard in Félix Desruelles Square in Saint Germain-des-Pres, with just 10 vines and a rather lovely decorated fountain. It’s one of those charming little sights that make Paris such a rewarding city for a stroll.

More well known and much bigger is the Clos Montmartre , planted in 1932 on the slopes below Sacré Coeur basilica. Its nearly 2000 vines are mainly Pinot and Garnay, with a few other varieties (Merlot, Gewurztraminer and Sauvignon blanc). This vineyard even has an annual harvest feast, the Vendanges de Montmartre , in early October.

You could also visit Clos de Bercy , which produces 250 liters of wine a year. These vines are relatively new, but the winery buildings have been around for ages.

Additionally, the tiny vineyard in the Parc de Belleville doesn’t make much wine, but the extensive views over Paris make it a good choice for a stroll to clear your lungs and get away from the traffic and noise of the city.

Wineries near Paris: Micro style

Paris now also has two urban micro-wineries which offer a fascinating and very different take on wine and the city.

Les Vignerons Parisiens

Les Vignerons Parisiens buys its grapes from vineyards further south, all of which are organic and many of which operate on biodynamic principles, and which harvest by hand. The wine is produced with the same handmade techniques and organic ethos, adjusting the winemaking process to the particular needs of each wine or grape. There’s no “right way” of doing it here, as there is in most traditional wineries. 

See the magic happen up close on their 45-minute tour, and see why wine critics such as Jancis Robinson consistently give this place high marks . 

Winerie Parisienne

Winerie Parisienne was started in 2015 and occupies an old printing works. Like Les Vignerons, it’s committed to organic and biodynamic principles. It aims particularly for freshness of taste, and runs an experimental series of small-production wines.

In fact, if you want to assemble your own cuvée , you can take a workshop, benefit from the winery’s expertise, and go away with your own special bottle! Or you can just visit the winery , learn about the processes used, and taste some of its production.

Winerie Parisienne has even gotten involved in planting a 10-hectare vineyard near Versailles—the first serious new planting in greater Paris in over a century.

There is commercial production of wine in every region of France except those along the north coast. While the French wine regions of Champagne, Burgundy, and Bordeaux enjoy worldwide recognition, there are other important wine regions in France that you should explore.

Here’s the list of our favorite French wine regions, also shown on the French Wine Map. This guide only considers the French wine regions near Paris (in bold), as the other wine regions are too far for wine tours from Paris.

• Languedoc – Roussillon
• Val-de-Loire
• Vallée du Rhône

Bourgogne Wine Region

The Bourgogne Wine Region (Burgundy) is located a few hours’ drive southeast of Paris. Within the region, there are five wine production areas, including Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, and Maconnais .

The Burgundy Wine Region includes several famous French wines, mainly from Chardonnay (whites) and Pinot Noir (reds). There are also a small number of rosés and sparkling wines (named crémants).

Best Burgundy Wine Tours from Paris

Guided Wine Tours from Paris:

• Small group wine tour in Chablis . Includes transportation from/to Paris and 10 wine tastings
• Private red & white Burgundy wines trip from Paris . Visits 4 domains in Chablis and Beaune, with 10 wine tastings

• Wineries in Chablis (white wines)
• Wineries in Côte de Beaune (mostly whites)
• Wineries in Côte de Nuits (mostly reds)

Champagne Wine Region

Located in Eastern France, Champagne is one of the most famous French wine regions. Just an hour from Paris, Champagne is the closest wine region to Paris.

The Champagne wine region is most famous for its champagne wine . While many of us may call sparkling wine “champagne,” only the sparkling wine from this region can technically be called “champagne.”

Because of its proximity to Paris, Champagne day trips and wine tours from Paris are very popular. In one day, you have time to drive from Paris to Reims or Epernay, visit 1 or 2 wineries, have lunch, enjoy 1 or 2 viewpoints, and drive back to Paris. Champagne wine tours, instead, are more optimized, and some of them cover both cities.

Other than champagne wine, the cooler climate of this wine region near Paris is perfect for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay . Champagne’s whites tend to be lighter, crisper, and less fruity than those of other wine regions in France.

Champagne Wine Tours from Paris

• Champagne day trip from Paris with 8 tastings and lunch visits a prestigious champagne house and various smaller producers in the area.
• Vintage champagne private tour – Moët & Chandon + Veuve Clicquot also visits Reims Cathedral and the lovely village of Hautvillers
• Vintage champagne private tour – Moët & Chandon + Ruinart also visits Reims Cathedral and the lovely village of Hautvillers
• Vintage champagne private tour – Moët & Chandon + Veuve Clicquot + Pommery also visits Reims Cathedral and the lovely village of Hautvillers

Self-guided Wine Tours from Paris: Many wineries in Champagne offer tours and tastings in English. For a full Champagne experience, we recommend visiting a mix of prestigious houses plus smaller producers. If you have more time, consider this multi-day Champagne road trip from Paris which combines beautiful sights and champagne wines.

Val-de-Loire Wine Region

The Val-de-Loire Wine Region is located southwest of Paris. It is one of the largest wine-producing regions in France and also one of the best French wine regions near Paris.

The Loire Valley vineyards are known for producing some of France’s highest-quality white wines. Because of its relatively short distance from the capital, Paris wine tours to the Loire Valley are easy to organize.

The Val-de-Loire Wine Region comprises four distinct wine production areas: Centre-Loire, Touraine , Anjou-Saumur , and Pays Nantais . Only the first two are relatively close to Paris.

The Loire Valley wines include fruity, light white wines, slightly sweet rosés, smooth light reds, crisp, dry sparkling wines, and sweet white wines. The main grape varieties in this area are Melon, Chenin, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chasselas for whites; Cabernet Franc, Gamay, Grolleay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon for reds.

After Champagne, the Loire Valley is France’s second-largest producer of sparkling wine (named crémant). The crémant uses a wine-producing technique similar to the champagne, with manual harvest and aging on lees for a minimum of nine months.

Val-de-Loire Wine Tours from Paris

• Loire Valley full-day wine tour from Paris visits two wine estates in Sancerre and Pouilly (Centre-Loire wine area) and the lovely town of Sancerre.

Self-guided Wine Tours from Paris: Many wineries in Val-de-Loire offer tours and tastings in English. You can combine your wine explorations in the Loire Valley with a visit to Château de Blois or Château de Chambord

• Wineries in Centre-Loire
• Wineries in Touraine

Best Wine Tasting in Paris

Should you wish to discover French wines without the drive, there are some ideas within Paris. From walking tours to wine workshops, here are our favorite Paris wine experiences:

1. All about French Wines (with Tasting) at the Musée du Vin

The  Wine Museum of Paris  (5 Square Charles Dickens, Paris 16) is a fascinating place to explore. This underground museum is set up in the former cellars of the Minimes Convent, today disappeared. Between the 16th and 17th centuries, the monks produced a clear wine much appreciated by King Louis XIII when he returned from his hunting in the Bois de Boulogne.

The Musée du Vin houses an exhibition of tools and objects that evoke the French vineyard and its wines. After viewing the collection, visitors can sample a glass of wine of their choice (included in the ticket price). The site is also equipped with three vaulted cellar rooms that serve as a restaurant and spaces for wine tastings – Click here to buy your tickets to the Wine Museum

2. Six Grand Cru Wine Tastings with a Professional Sommelier Guide

Discover some of France’s finest wines during an intimate grand cru tasting experience in the heart of Paris. An expert sommelier will lead you through a tasting of six exceptional French wines, including several quality-designated grand crus and premier crus, plus several older vintage wines.

4. Wine Tour with Tastings at King’s Louis XV’s Private Cellars

Not far from the world-famous museum,  Les Caves du Louvre  is an 18th-century wine cellar once used by King Louis XV. Now, it’s a pleasurable multisensory experience dedicated to informing visitors about the wine regions in France, the art (and science) of winemaking and wine-tasting.

With the guided tour + wine tasting , an expert sommelier will lead you through a tasting of exceptional wines from different corners of the country, carefully selected to ensure a full and unique tasting experience. Distinguish a Chardonnay from a Chablis, a Beaujolais from a Burgundy, and everything in between! 

The Caves du Louvre offers other wine experiences, check out the full program .

5. Discover Two Secret Vineyards in Paris (with Tastings)

Paris wine country? Not really, but the city is home to some vineyards and also a wine cellar!

Here, you will visit two secret vineyards and learn about the neighborhood’s wine history. You will also have three wine tastings accompanied by exquisite cheeses and seasonal nibbles – Click here to book the Latin Quarter Unbottled wine tour

6. Visit a Wine Cellar in the Heart of Paris!

Did you know that there are white and rosé wines made in Paris? This bold initiative became a reality in 2014 thanks to Les Vignerons Parisiens , an urban cellar in the center of Paris. Come live the experience of working in a winemaker’s cellar and tasting wine without leaving Paris!

Located on 57 Avenue Daumesnil, in Paris 12, Les Vignerons Parisiens receive the grapes (Cinsault, Grenache, Marsanne, or Syrah) from carefully chosen plots, mainly in the Rhône Valley, to assemble and vinify them.

Check out their upcoming visits or contact them for an on-site workshop: learn how all the different types of wine are made, from the grapes to the bottle, and taste the wines.

Wonderful experience! I was weary of going on a wine tour in France in the winter season, but it was very enjoyable. The guide was personable, knowledgeable & brought croissants upon pick up! The lunch was amazing & every Champagne was delicious! Very much worth it!

Loire valley is really incredible ! This wine trip in France was perfect. The wineries we visited were intimate and the wines were fabulous. Thank you very much for this beautiful day 🙂

It was wonderful! Our driver/tour guide, Simone, was delightful! He couldn’t have been more gracious, thoughtful and accommodating as well as quite knowledgeable. The champagne houses we went to were so enjoyable with each one being a little different! We joined with 2 other groups for a fun lunch that was delicious and quite enjoyable! All in all a delightful day! I recommend this wine tour on your next trip to France!

From start to finish my wine day trip to the Champagne region in France was wonderful. To see the total process of making champagne from start to finish was amazing and I loved it all. A great day spent with a small group of like minded people, sharing tastings and a look at the love and dedication of everyone involved in the process from vine to bottle. Arranged pickup was a plus too!

The gothic architecture and stunning stained-glass windows are a sight to behold. Next, dive into the world of Champagne on a tour and taste it at one of the renowned Champagne houses such as Ruinart or Taittinger. Check out the historic cellars, learn about the intricate process of Champagne making and, of course, sample some of the sparkling wines. Finish your day by walking through the charming streets of the city center, perhaps to the Romanesque (and UNESCO-listed) Basilica of St. Remi for a last dose of history.
