Vegan Wine Tasting in Paris right next to Père Lachaise

Three wines, zero fuss by Père Lachaise. This 1-hour private vegan tasting turns a wine shop visit into a guided flight, with turntable music and vegan bites in the mix.

I like that hosts such as Valentin or Clement take time with you, explain what you’re tasting, and steer the pours toward your preferences. One thing to think about: the venue is also a retail shop, so you may see non-vegan items for sale even though the tasting and food you receive are vegan.

Key points before you go

  • Three wine samples in about an hour, with a host guiding the order and pacing
  • Choose the style you want to taste: whites, reds, rosé, or sparkling
  • From producer to shop: the idea is wines selected directly to match what you’re after
  • Vegan snack board that pairs with the wines, plus turntable music for ambience
  • Private group only so the experience can flex around your questions and tastes

Where You Meet Near Père Lachaise (and why 4:00 pm works)

You’ll meet at 99 Rue du Chemin Vert, 75011 Paris, and the tasting ends back at the same spot. The start time is 4:00 pm, which is a sweet spot: late enough to enjoy the afternoon, early enough that you’re not stuck with a night-long timeline.

It’s also near public transportation, so you can hop in with less stress and more wandering. If you’re planning a day around Père Lachaise, this timing makes it easy to tack the tasting on without turning your schedule into a juggling act.

You’ll get a mobile ticket, and you should receive confirmation at booking. If you’re traveling with a service animal, the tour allows them, which is helpful.

What Vegan Wine Tasting Means Here (and the one caveat)

This is marketed as a vegan wine tasting, and the tasting experience you take part in is paired with vegan snacks. In other words, you’re not just drinking and hoping for the best—there’s a food component built around the tastings.

The one caution: this location operates like a wine shop. That matters because one review flagged seeing non-vegan products displayed for sale in the store (things like meat and fish items). The host’s response to that concern also made the overall point clear: the shop sells a mix of products so it can serve more customers than just vegans.

So here’s the practical way to handle it: if you are very strict about avoiding any visual reminders of animal products, send a quick message or ask on arrival what’s on display that day. If you mainly care that your tastings and snacks are vegan, you should feel comfortable based on how the experience is structured.

The 60-minute plan: three wines, guided and tailored

The core of the experience is simple: you taste three French wines in roughly one hour. You’ll sample from options that fall into whites, reds, rosé, or sparkling, and you can pick what you want to focus on.

The big value isn’t just the number of pours. It’s that the host uses your tastes to shape what you try next, instead of running everyone through the same fixed lineup. One reviewer even described the host as selecting wines based on personal preference, and that’s the difference between a checklist tasting and a conversation.

Expect a relaxed pace. You’re not being rushed from one sip to the next like you’re in a hurry to escape. You’ll also have time for questions, and the host will explain what you’re tasting and why it’s chosen for that specific pairing moment.

Choosing your wine style: whites, reds, rosé, or sparkling

This tasting gives you options, and that’s smart. Paris wine tastings can feel a bit random if you don’t know what you like, but here you can steer the direction from the start.

  • Whites: Great if you like dry, crisp, food-friendly bottles and want something lighter between walks.
  • Reds: Ideal if you prefer richer flavors and want a wine that stands up to dips and bread.
  • Rosé: A good middle path if you’re in a mood that’s not fully red or fully white.
  • Sparkling: Fun for a celebratory start and often an easy crowd-pleaser.

One reviewer pointed out the whites they tasted from the south of France, described as dry but fruit-forward. You won’t be guaranteed the same exact bottles, but it hints that the selections can include everyday crowd favorites, not just obscure bottles.

The pairing part: vegan snacks that actually help the wine

Wine tasting without food can be hit-or-miss. Here, the vegan snacks are built to support the pours, not to sit off to the side while you sip politely.

You’ll get a snack spread that typically includes vegetables and dips, plus bread and crackers. In one detailed description, the board included crudités like carrots and green meat radish, baguette, hummus, and a smoked eggplant dip. That’s a classic flavor set for wine: fresh crunch, creamy texture, and smoky notes that make red and rosé tastings feel more rounded.

There’s also a practical payoff: the snacks help you reset your palate between wines. If you’re trying three bottles in one sitting, you want your mouth to stay “ready,” and this pairing style does that job well.

One small heads-up: a reviewer said they would have liked vegan cheese, but the snack menu still left them satisfied. That’s your clue that vegan cheese may not be a guaranteed part of every board, even if other components are consistent.

Music, mood, and a storefront vibe you can feel

This tasting isn’t silent. You’ll have music playing on turntables, which adds a low-key, Paris-shop atmosphere without turning it into a nightclub.

In one review, a cute dog was also mentioned as part of the storefront scene. That’s not a thing you should plan around, but it does match the overall vibe: this feels less like a formal tasting room and more like a friendly shop moment.

The ambience matters for value. If you’re paying for wine, you want more than liquid. The setting, the pacing, and the host’s warmth turn the hour into something you’ll remember instead of just something you drank.

Your host experience in English: what you should do before you arrive

The tour is offered in English, and it’s run as a private tour/activity, meaning only your group participates. That’s a big deal because it changes how the host can respond to you.

If you want the tasting to match your style, do one tiny prep step before you go: think about what you usually like. Are you drawn to dry wines, sweeter ones, or something in the middle? Do you prefer light flavors or fuller-bodied bottles?

Then come with a simple goal. For example, you might say you want whites that aren’t too sharp, or reds that don’t feel overly heavy. Hosts such as Valentin and Clement are described as taking time to explain and answering questions, and that’s where a private setup pays off.

Also, tasting is a learn-by-doing experience. Don’t worry if you can’t name grape varieties. Ask what the host thinks you’ll enjoy next, and pay attention to the differences between the three samples.

Value check: is $54.19 a fair deal in Paris?

The price is $54.19 per person, for about one hour, with three wine tastings and vegan snacks. In Paris, that setup can be pricey when you compare it to casual take-away options. But here, you’re paying for guided selection, pacing, and a pairing food component.

You also get private attention, not a mixed group shuffling through a shared timeline. That matters because wine is personal. You’ll get more out of the tasting if the host responds to what you actually enjoy, and the experience is built that way.

So who gets the best value? You if you want:

  • a guided tasting you can ask questions in
  • vegan snacks paired with the pours
  • a compact experience that fits a late-afternoon plan

Who might feel it’s less value? If you’re only in Paris for a quick photo stop and don’t care about learning what you like, you may prefer a more casual wine purchase. But if you want a real taste-and-talk session, this price looks reasonable for what you receive.

Logistics that matter: timing, transport, and your comfort

The start time is 4:00 pm. If you have dinner plans later, keep the tasting near that window so you’re not rushing. The experience ends back at the meeting point, so you’re not forced to coordinate a second location.

You’ll find the venue near public transportation, which is useful for Paris days when walking is great but time is limited.

If you’re booking for a group, the private format is helpful. Only your group participates, which usually makes it easier to ask questions and stay focused.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. And the tour mentions a minimum traveler requirement, so if it’s canceled for low turnout, you’ll be offered another date/experience or a refund.

Who this tasting suits best (and who should think twice)

This works especially well if you are:

  • vegan (or traveling with vegan friends) and want wine plus a vegan snack pairing
  • wine-curious and want to learn in a friendly, short format
  • short on time but still want something more meaningful than a quick bar pour

It may feel like a mismatch if:

  • you need a fully vegan storefront where no animal products are ever visible anywhere in the shop
  • you want a long, museum-style wine lecture (this is about an hour, not an all-day course)
  • you’re expecting a huge selection menu of many wines beyond the three samples

The upside is the experience is designed to be personal. That makes it easier to adapt if you’re unsure what you’ll like.

Should you book? My practical verdict

If you want a compact, private vegan wine experience with three tastings, vegan snacks, and a host who explains what’s in front of you, this is a smart pick. The location near Père Lachaise also makes it a handy fit for a real Paris itinerary: walk, taste, and keep moving.

Book it with one mindset: the tasting is vegan, the food is vegan, and the guidance is in English. Just be aware the shop may not be 100% vegan as a store environment, so if that’s a dealbreaker for you, ask first.

If your goal is a relaxed hour of wine and learning in a real neighborhood shop setting, I’d say yes—this is the kind of experience you’ll remember more for the conversations and pairings than for ticking boxes.
