Full description

Join the kind of class you weren't offered at school and get advice on how to identify, select, and taste wine. Held in central Paris, go on a journey through the wine regions of France for the wine tasting tour de France option, and get a much better understanding about wine in general.

The venue is a few minutes walk from the Louvre, and you will taste different wines, from different regions of France. Discover the difference between the wine produce of Champagne and beyond.

With a unique and refreshing approach, your sommelier will take you through a variety of themes to build up your wine knowledge. 

Hear about how Champagne is made and how to taste wine properly. Go through the main wine regions of France, the grapes they grow, and the style of wine they make.  Learn how to read a French label, and clarify concepts like terroir and appellation.

All the wine will be available for sale, plus many more other varietals, too. Just ask your sommelier. And if you want to stay on for dinner and keep on trying more wines, the O Chateau’s brand new wine bar is ready and waiting, with delicious food and 40 wines to try by the glass every day.

We had Charlotte during our wine tasting class and it was a wonderful experience! We tasted wine from each of the major regions of France and followed along with the visuals. She also gave us practical information on tasting techniques and storing our wine at home etc. I did not realize that we could do a day trip to Champagne from Paris, very helpful! 1 star because the room was uncomfortably packed, the chairs hardly fit around the table. I understand that COVID 19 may be in our rear view mirror but I also do not need to sit in the lap of my neighbor.

This wine tasting class was really enjoyable. Our sommelier, Paul, was a great teacher with loads of experience and knowledge which he imparted in a fun and approachable way. The wines we tasted were well chosen and good. The cellar in which the event was hosted was dressed to add to the experience, and overall we had a great time.

This was a very good experience. I learned slot, tasted some excellent wines. Bought a case to bring home. The group size was an issue. I don’t think the teacher expected so many. It took a long time to pour for all those people and some were not serious about the class.
