There will be tastings a plenty...

Along the way I'll explain the workings of the outdoor markets, spin a bit of Parisian history, and point you to the sight. You'll receive an itinerary map and list of addresses we visited by email.

Private “back-road” food tour with natural wine tasting : (9:30am - 1:30pm or 2:30 - 6:30)

If you'd like to discover the elegant French vin nature (natural wine), we can add a little trip to a cozy natural wine boutique just down the road, lined with a rich array of the finest French vin nature.

The exuberant shop owner will pop open a couple white and red natural wines from different wine regions and terroirs in France. I'll pull some bread, cheese, and a home-made nibble or two out of my bag… and at once give you an abreviated course on natural wine making, introduce you to the amazing and surprising alchemy the winemakers of vin nature - all wizards of a sort - practice on (and with) their grapes, as well as the gustative pleasure of paring their various unique personalities with different tastes and savors.
