Vegan Wine Tasting in Paris right next to Père Lachaise

Wine, snacks, and a real Paris shop.

This vegan-focused tasting next to Père Lachaise is a simple, fun way to understand French wine without the stuffiness. I especially like that you sample three wines chosen from different styles, and I like the vibe, with vegan snacks plus music spinning on turntables. One thing to consider though, this is a wine shop environment, so the space around you may not be purely vegan in every respect.

This is also a private experience, meaning it’s just your group and the host can slow down for your questions. I like that the pours feel designed for your preferences, not a one-size-fits-all script. The main drawback for strict vegans is that you might notice non-vegan products for sale in the shop, even if what you’re served is vegan.

Key Things to Know Before You Go

• Private, 1-hour experience with just your group, in English
• Three French wine samples picked from whites, reds, rosé, or sparkling
• Vegan snacks included, plus a laid-back soundtrack from turntables
• Direct-from-producer style tasting, hosted in a local wine shop setting
• Near public transportation and an easy meeting point at 99 Rue du Chemin Vert

Vegan Wine Tasting Right by Père Lachaise, in a Real Shop

I like wine tastings that feel like part of daily life, not a performance. This one happens in a small Paris wine shop setting near Père Lachaise, so you get the sense of being in the neighborhood, not in a theme park.

You’ll start at 99 Rue du Chemin Vert, 75011 Paris, and the experience ends back at the same meeting point. The timing matters too. Starting at 4:00 pm is a sweet spot for a relaxed afternoon, before evening plans, and it avoids the rush of dinner time crowds.

The “direct from the vineyards to the shop” angle is also a big deal. Instead of just tasting whatever is on the shelf, the experience is set up to help you connect the wine style to where it comes from. That makes the tasting more than a quick buzz. It turns into a short lesson you can actually use.

Inside the 1-Hour Private Tasting, From Three Wines to the Last Sip

Plan on about one hour total. In that time, you’ll sample three French wines. You can choose the direction you want to explore, whether that’s white, red, rosé, or sparkling wines, and the host works from there.

Here’s how it typically feels from start to finish:

You arrive, get settled, and the host guides you through the tasting. The pours are generous enough that you can taste, pause, and compare. Then the focus shifts to conversation. The host takes time to explain what you’re drinking and answers questions at a comfortable pace.

In feedback, the standouts are how much time the host spends with each group. People describe hosts like Valentin and Clement as spending real effort on explanations and making the tasting feel friendly, not rushed. One person even noted the host matched the wines to taste preferences, so you’re not stuck with just one style you don’t like.

You’ll also have vegan snacks on the table during the tastings. That matters because wine plus food helps you taste more clearly, especially if you’re moving from a crisp white to something fuller-bodied. It also turns the experience into a casual hang, not a formal classroom.

What you’ll likely experience during the tasting

You can expect a mix of:

• wine tasting with explanation and Q&A
• vegan bites designed to go between pours
• a relaxed shop atmosphere with music from turntables

The shop itself is also described as full of wine-related displays, which adds to the “Paris wine world” feel. If you like browsing and you’re curious about what else is available after your tasting, you’ll probably enjoy the setting.

How the Host Picks Whites, Reds, Rosé, or Sparkling

The “choose your lane” option is a smart way to keep the tasting enjoyable. If you’re a white wine person, you don’t have to pretend you’re into heavy reds. If you like something lighter, rosé fits naturally. And if you want something celebratory, sparkling gives you that ready-to-cheers feeling.

What makes this work is the private format. Since it’s just your group, the host can fine-tune the selection based on what you actually enjoy. Feedback consistently highlights that the host takes time, listens, and then adjusts so the wines match your preferences.

You’ll likely also get style context, not just tasting notes. For example, one report singled out a dry, fruit-forward white from the South of France as a potential new favorite. That kind of detail helps you leave with something more specific in mind than, It was good.

If you’re traveling with friends who have different tastes, this also helps. You can steer the tasting toward a blend of what you want, rather than all of you suffering through the same flight.

Who this style of tasting suits best

This is especially good for:

• vegans who want a wine lesson with a food pairing that fits their diet
• non-vegans who want a casual, welcoming tasting that still takes wine seriously
• couples or small groups who don’t want to be part of a big group flow

Vegan Snacks, Turntable Music, and What You Might Taste

The food setup is one of the most praised parts. You get vegan snacks included with the wine, and people describe the snack spread as satisfying between pours.

In feedback, common items mentioned include things like crudités (carrots and radish), baguette, hummus, and smoked eggplant dip. Another report calls out vegan snacks that are also gluten free. Even if your exact menu varies, the theme is clear: you’ll get a snack spread that’s meant to complement different wine styles, not just fill the table.

I also like the soundtrack. Music on turntables makes the tasting feel more like a relaxed shop session than a formal tasting room. It keeps energy at a human level. You can still hear the host explain the wines without it turning quiet or awkward.

This combination, wine plus vegan bites plus music, creates an easy social rhythm. You can ask questions, taste, talk, and reset between pours without waiting around for a new plate.

One practical note

Since you’re eating, you’re going to taste better. If you tend to get overwhelmed by wine flavors, the snacks help you slow down and notice differences. It’s a small thing, but it changes the whole experience.

Price, Value, and What Makes This Feel Worth $54.19

At $54.19 per person for about an hour, this sits in the category of “worth it if you actually want the experience,” not just the novelty. The value comes from a few concrete elements:

• you sample three wines
• vegan snacks are included, so you’re not paying extra for food
• it’s private, which means more attention for your group
• it’s offered in English, so you can actually follow the story behind the wines

For a lot of tastings in Paris, you can pay a similar amount and still feel like it’s a fast production line. Here, the structure seems built for conversation and pacing. People specifically mention hosts taking time with questions and explanations, and that’s where the price starts to make sense.

Also, the tasting’s focus on wine style choices (white, red, rosé, sparkling) makes it feel tailored. That matters, because a tasting only feels “expensive” when you hate what you’re drinking. If you start with the styles you want, the experience stays fun.

One Thing to Consider: Non-Vegan Products on Display

Here’s the honest watch-out. This is a vegan wine tasting, and the wines and snacks served are described as vegan. But the shop environment may also include non-vegan products for sale.

One caution flagged that meat items like pâté and other non-vegan foods were visible in the store. Even though your tasting and snacks should match the vegan promise, if you are sensitive to seeing non-vegan items in the same place, this could bother you.

I’d treat this like the main decision point. If your priority is vegan food and vegan pours, you should be in good shape. If your priority is a fully vegan-only environment with no non-vegan products in sight, you should think carefully before booking.

Should You Book This Vegan Tasting Near 99 Rue du Chemin Vert?

I’d book it if you want a short, friendly wine lesson with vegan snacks and a calm Paris vibe near Père Lachaise. The strongest reasons to go are the private format, the three-wine structure, and the repeated praise for hosts who take time with explanations and questions.

I wouldn’t book it if you need a completely vegan shop environment with zero non-vegan items displayed. The tasting is vegan-forward, but the surrounding retail space may not be.

If you’re easygoing, curious, and ready for a relaxed hour with good wine, this is a solid use of an afternoon in Paris.
