Les Vignerons Parisiens
This is not your every day wine shop. Here, they actually make the wine. Right on site. If you’ve ever visited a wine estate’s vinification tank room, then the smells of fermenting wine that waft through the walls here will be familiar.
You can stop by, with an appointment, and taste their wines on site. You can also purchase their wines, made right here on premise, in their front room, accessible on street level. This is a fun experience and if you don’t have time to go wine tasting in the Rhone, Bordeaux, Loire or Burgundy on this trip, this is the next best thing.

Divvino Marais
It not just due to its proximity to the Picasso Museum that makes this such an attractive wine shop, although that is an attractive feature. But more attractive, from a wine lover’s perspective, is their hand-picked selections from all over France and some select European regions.
There is also a tasting room in their cellars that make for wonderful times, though necessary to make an appointment and also be ready to take a few bottles of those special wines with you.

Bossetti
Specialized in Burgundy and Cote du Rhone (primarily) wines from France, this singular wine shop on the central and now very trendy rue des Archives offers fabulous selections.
You are also likely to luck into a wine tasting on pretty much any Saturday of the week. And not just any wine tasting but some of the best producers from France, particularly, yep, you guessed it, Bourgogne and Cote du Rhone. This wine shop is owned individually and is not part of a big group or chain. That makes it even more of a standout in the Paris market these days.
