- 10 Rue des Rosiers - Wine your way through the Marais and discover the Marais’ secret vineyard on this highly original wine walk.
The hidden vineyard of the charming Joseph Mignaret garden in the heart of the Marais is a surprising discovery. The ‘Marais’, which means swamp, drained in the 12th century, primarily produced market vegetables, but there were vines here too. An extensive vineyard attached to the Hotel Royal Saint Pol produced wines in the Middle Ages, so the history of the vine here is as old as the quarter’s history.
Join us for this exceptional experience as we meander through one of Paris’ oldest quarters and explore another aspect of the role the vine still plays in the urban landscape. An exclusive wine tasting (with cheeses, bread and seasonal vegetables) reflecting the flavours of the varietals planted here will complete this unique outing.
- Two blind wine tastings with snacks
- Sparkling wine sampling
- Tasting of two natural, organic or biodynamic wines
- Wine shop experience
Exploring the Marais through the lens of a wine glass offers a unique interpretation of this age-old district. Our journey begins in the Joseph Mignaret park, where we unravel its concealed vineyard and delve into the Marais’ medieval past. We then follow the area’s winemaking timeline, strolling through the section where Charles V’s royal abode and vineyard once stood, and pausing to sample a fizzy wine. Along the way, we’ll come to know of the remarkable figures who once resided here, wrapping up the tour with a secret tasting of natural wines, earthy fermented bread and decadent cheeses at a wine bar.
