About this tour

You'll move through the cellar to a historic table for charcuterie boards paired with your second pour, then progress to blind tastings using black glasses to heighten your senses.

What to expect
You'll start by selecting a wine straight from one of nine barrels, then learn tasting fundamentals with a sommelier at your side. The group moves deeper into the cellar to a characterful stone table where aperitif boards arrive alongside your second tasting. Next comes the sensory challenge: black glasses obscure colour so you focus on aroma and flavour instead. The pace shifts with a wine that rewards patience, followed by the lift of bubbles to close the session. Throughout, the sommelier explains what you're experiencing without pretension.
Good to know
All tastings served at proper temperature. The cellar is fully accessible with no stairs. Public transport nearby. If a wine catches your interest, the boutique stocks everything you've tasted, ready to take home or enjoy on a Canal Saint Martin stroll.
