    Unpretentious, educational, and memorable wine tasting

    If you are looking for an experience that is genuinely welcoming and unique, Brave and Olivia’s wine tasting is it. Their intimate space immediately puts you at ease, feeling less like an event venue and more like an inviting home. Brave has a rare gift as a host: he treated our small group (us, a couple from Poland, and a family from Norway) like old friends, getting everyone involved and teaching us how to connect appearance, scent, and flavor back to each region’s climate. The natural wines were fantastic, bright, expressive, and headache-free, and the cheeses were remarkable, even by my strict Wisconsin standards. An absolute gem in Paris that delivers incredible wine, great education, and genuine human connection. Thank you Brave and Olivia. We will always remember our time with you!

    Not As Described

    Unfortunately, this was not as described and not how the reviewers described it. Rather than being with a couple in their home, we met at the husband's wine shop (wife was away) and no one else attended. He served us mainly non-French wines, natural in type, which was interesting, but he didn't inform us about the particular regions or terroirs, or even winemakers, preferring as he said to have us just experience it. We had hoped to learn more about different wines and winemaking but he didn't seem to want to answer our questions but rather to follow his planned "script," even though it was just us and we know something about wine. The cheeses were quite good though, but overall not why we had booked this tasting. We would have preferred a different booking that was more "traditional" since this was at a wine shop anyway.

    This an amazing couple -...

    This an amazing couple - wife is American and husband French. They run this amazing wine and cheese tasting, with incredible information, conversation and pairings! And they ended with her homemade chocolate mouse, which the best we had in Paris!!

    Great experience!!

    Loved this! We will be sure to visit again the next time we are in Paris. Brave definitely tailored the experience to us & answered our many questions thoughtfully. We ended up staying way longer than expected because we were having so much fun.

    Paris Wine Tasting & French Cheese Pairing with Sommelier: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.

    How much does Paris Wine Tasting & French Cheese Pairing with Sommelier cost?

    +

    Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Paris Wine Tasting & French Cheese Pairing with Sommelier take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.

    Is Paris Wine Tasting & French Cheese Pairing with Sommelier worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 32 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Paris Wine Tasting & French Cheese Pairing with Sommelier?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Paris Wine Tasting & French Cheese Pairing with Sommelier suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Paris Wine Tasting & French Cheese Pairing with Sommelier?

    +

    Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Paris Wine Tasting & French Cheese Pairing with Sommelier start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Paris?

    +

    Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based), Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Paris?

    +

    April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Paris?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Paris Wine Tasting & French Cheese Pairing with Sommelier?

    +

    Included: Snacks; and Alcoholic beverages. Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Paris Wine Tasting & French Cheese Pairing with Sommelier?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Paris Wine Tasting & French Cheese Pairing with Sommelier?
