Paris Wine Tours & Pairings

Historically, the story of wine is interwoven with the story of France, it's royalty and it's Popes. In an area then known as Gaul, the Romans encouraged the cultivation of wines in regions that are now known as Bordeaux, Burgundy, Alsace, Champagne, Languedoc, Loire Valley and the Rhone. Over the years French wines and their trade continued to develop, and the English and Dutch traders had a significant influence on this market. In 1152 Eléonore of Aquitaine married Henry Plantagenet, the future Henry II of England, marking the beginning of a long and prosperous relationship between Bordeaux and England. It is a longstanding tradition to enjoy "un verre" in Paris, and remains so today.
