Itinerary

The most celebrated of Paris' intra-muros vineyards, the Clos Montmartre epitomises ‘the old Paris’ and contributes greatly to giving one the impression that they are far away from the madding crowds of the city.

The walk recounts the wine history of Montmartre and the Abbey de Montmartre, and includes anecdotes about the artistic, literary, and cultural history of the village.

There is a fine view of the Clos Montmartre vineyard from the parapet in the garden of the Musée de Montmartre and it is here, overlooking the vineyard, that we detail its history.

Following the visit of the vineyard from the museum gardens, it is a short walk to our wine tasting on the Place du Tertre, the heartbeat of the Montmartre village. The wine tasting includes the very rare wine of the Clos Montmartre and a blind tasting of 2 additional wines - a white and a red. The wine tasting will be accompanied by shared plates of cheeses and rustic fermented bread.

The Place Dalida affords us a spectacular view of the rue de l'Abreuvoir leading up to the Butte Montmartre and the Sacre Coeur. It is also right next to the Chateau des Brouillards.

The Renoir Garden of the Musee de Montmartre provides the perfect vantage for an overview of the Clos Montmartre. It is from here that we will recount the history of the vineyard.

Our wine tasting takes place in one of the square's most renowned and authentic winebar bistros.
