This was by far the most educational and entertaining evening in Paris. Not only did I walk away with an appreciation for French wines. I met people from all over the world.
Fabulous experience - well worth it 🍷

This is a totally fabulous experience. You go to a cellar, learn about French wine and regions, meet lovely people, have lots of fun and be entertained by a well educated host. As well as all that you get to taste amazing wine, and eat cheese and charcuterie. Go for the lot. It’s great value and a fantastic way to spend a few hours in Paris. Thank you.
Absolutely loved this,...

Absolutely loved this, Laury (i think that was her name?) was an amazing sommelier with a cute and funny personality, she shared a lot of personal anecdotes that had us laughing our heads off and it was a big friendly group. The wines were also delicious, she taught us a lot about how to taste and identify wines and everything went well with the food.
Fun, informative, great wine!

We had a great time at Ô Chateau! Our hostess was knowledgeable, spoke English very well, and made the night a lot of fun. She engaged the whole group, and taught us a lot about French wines. The wine pours were just right and tasted fantastic. The cheese plate and charcuterie were fresh and excellent.
There is the option to buy wines but it was not pushed at all. Everything was low-key and in a beautiful wine-filled room. Absolutely recommend.
