New wine bars (bistrot à vins) in Paris are emerging and changing into hyped-up boutique establishments with expensive wines and elaborate menus. We prefer to show you the old classic wine bars that have been forgotten over time and are still loved and frequented by locals since the war. Here you can have an old-world ambiance while enjoying wines by the glass with a platter of charcuterie (cold cut local hams and cheeses), like the locals do before they head off to dinner or home. The visit will allow you to sample a variety of wines from the classic to the locally produced bio-dynamic. This tour is not given by a sommelier, but by an enthusiastic guide who will show you the secret wine bars off the beaten path. The tour includes the history of wine, how to pair wines with regional cuisine and cheeses, how to read the labels, andabout the trends in the French wine industry.
