Montmartre Hidden Vineyard Walking Tour With Wine Tastings

Discover a secret side of Montmartre, where wine and defiance pulse through its veins. This private walking tour takes you to one of Paris’ hidden gems, the Clos Montmartre vineyard – a part of the city's cultural fabric that remains a mystery to many. Normally closed to the public, you'll have the rare chance to stroll through this urban vineyard, taste wines made from its very grapes, and uncover a living chapter of Parisian history.

Founded in 1933, the vineyard is an "outlaw" among French wine estates, defying strict regulations while cultivating an eclectic mix of grape varieties – from heritage species no longer found elsewhere to modern hybrids. All wine production takes place in the cellar of the local town hall, continuing a bold tradition of rebellion and community spirit.

The story of Clos Montmartre is intertwined with the activism of local residents, most notably the caricaturist Francisque Poulbot, whose efforts helped preserve the land for future generations. Today, the vineyard’s profits are donated to local charities such as “L'Oeuvre des P'tits Poulbot”, keeping Poulbot’s legacy of generosity alive.

Join this extraordinary tour to experience a unique slice of Parisian history, sip on exclusive wines, and delve into the spirit of Montmartre’s independence.
