Taste wine in the comfort of a beautiful Parisian loft with the instruction of an English-speaking French sommelier at Ô Chateau. “Wine, Two, Three” is an introductory course that covers the basics of three reds and whites. Or perhaps the “Grand 7” would be more appropriate for trying a wider variety of seven French wines. Another course to choose would be the “Wine and Cheese Tasting Lunch,” which, besides four wines and Champagne, also includes delicious French cheeses. Costs range from 20€ to 65€. Ô Chateau, The Wine Loft, 100, rue de la Folie Méricourt, 75011 Paris,

Wines have been made here for hundreds of years, which makes it a cultural venture rather than a lucrative one.
