Wine tasting in the heart of Paris

Wine Tasting


Paris, a city of elegance and gastronomy, offers a wonderful setting for discovering French wines. La Cave Du Canal, nestled in the heart of the capital, offers wine-tasting workshops in Paris that combine pleasure and discovery.

Each session takes place in a warm and welcoming setting : You will be welcomed by a passionate sommelier, guided through France's great wine regions and immersed in the friendly atmosphere of our wine bar. The tastings are designed to be engaging and tailored to you, combining theory and practice (the importance of terroir, grape varieties, tasting techniques) to ensure a unique experience that is accessible to everyone. 


A friendly and professional experience

 

Our workshops are led by passionate sommeliers in an atmosphere that is both friendly and relaxed. You'll taste in a small group or even on your own, while sharing mixed platters of charcuterie and cheeses sourced from French wine regions. Each wine is explained in an accessible way: the aim isn't to become an “ expert ” but to enjoy yourself, awaken your senses and learn the language of wine. Our hosts tailor their explanations to your level to make the tasting fun and enriching. At the end of the workshop, you'll leave not only knowing how to describe a wine's acidity, tannins or finish, but also with the favourites you can buy on-site.

 

A journey through the heart of France's wine regions

 

The tasting is designed as a true sensory journey through France's wine regions . Our wine selection covers the full range of iconic grape varieties: from Champagne (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) to Bordeaux (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot), as well as Burgundy  (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay), the Rhône Valley (Syrah, Grenache), the Loire Valley (Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin) and Provence (Grenache, Cinsault). At each stop, the sommelier introduces the aromas and characteristics of each wine, explaining the richness of the terroir and the history of each appellation. This workshop is an opportunity to identify key grape varieties, understand how climate and soil influence wine, and taste wines that represent each region. The commentary highlights the diversity of French wines and helps you refine your preferences.
