Customer Reviews
A wine walk in Paris with Geoffrey is an unforgettable experience. They are lively, engaging, educational and fun. His knowledge of wine and Paris is unbelievably extensive. I imagine he is one of the few experts on the history of wine in this city. (In fact, he has published a book about it.) He also clearly loves wine, giving tours and meeting people. I've lived in Paris for 25 years and was amazed at how much I didn't know about my own city! To be concrete, a tour consists of meeting at a given location with a bunch of other people from all different walks of life and setting out on an adventure. Geoffrey describes the history and culture of grape growing in Paris (which used to be the largest wine-producing region in the world!), leads you to hidden vineyards still growing in Paris, stops at many historical sites, regales you with anecdotes, pauses for outdoor wine tastings and then leads you to a bistro or two for more extensive tastings with delicious cheese and nibbles. It was a wonderful way to spend over three hours and revel in the joys of this city! I also enjoyed the conversations with the other people on the tour. I highly recommend taking a wine walk!
The Paris swine walk through St Germaine was really interesting and a great way to see and learn about the area. Geoffrey is terrifically knowledgeable and a great guide. We had so much fun learning about the French wine region as well as biodynamic wines. I highly recommend this walk!
We had originally booked the Montmartre tour as a surprise for my wife’s birthday, but due to a series of unexpected events it couldn’t go ahead. I was worried the surprise would be ruined, but Geoffrey went above and beyond — on his day off — to save the experience. He kindly arranged a tour in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and it turned out to be absolutely perfect. The walk was both fun and insightful. We discovered a lot about the history of French wine and the area, tasted some great bottles, and picked up tips we’ll actually use back home. Geoffrey kept it relaxed and made it feel more like hanging out with a very knowledgeable friend than a formal tour. What started as a setback ended up being one of the best parts of our trip — and my wife’s birthday was saved. Highly recommend!
