Open since 1984, the Musée du Vin houses a collection of instruments and objects evocative of French wines and vineyards. The collection is presented in ...
the galleries of former quarries worked in the Middle Ages and later turned into cellars for the monks of the Ordre des Minimes. Once you have been introduced to the different methods of wine production, make sure you don’t miss the themed lectures and wine-tasting lessons, in order to make the most of this original and rewarding activity!
Arousing the senses of smell and taste, the museum tour is also accessible for visitors with hearing or visual impairments, as the museum has the “Tourisme & Handicap” label for these two categories of disability.
Wine tasting organised by the Musée du Vin in a place of your choice. Bacchus cruises: combined ticket (1 hour discovery cruise of Paris + visit to the Musée du Vin).

Located near to the Eiffel Tower in central Paris stands the "Musée du Vin".
The cellars, formerly used by a religious order "Les Frères de l'Ordre des Minimes" in the 15th century, today houses a permanent exhibition displaying tools and objects related to the vineyards and wines of France.
In this historic setting you can organise group lunches, receptions, dinners, seminars on the fascinating subject of "the art of wine-making".
Also on request: a blind wine tasting experience of the "grands crus", as well as talks on wine-making and historical talks for individuals on the theme of "know your wine". Dates available on the website: www.museedevinparis.com
