Montmarte Confidential

About this tour

PJ, a seasoned Montmartre local, takes you through the neighbourhood's unmarked wine bars and hidden speakeasies—the kind where a nod from a regular gets you past the door. Over 4.5 hours, you'll navigate backstreet bistros and clandestine drinking dens, tasting wine and sampling charcuterie as locals do, not tourists. This isn't a polished wine seminar; it's an evening spent in rooms most visitors never find.

Highlights

• Access speakeasies requiring insider knowledge or introduction
• Taste wines selected by a guide with 5-star reputation across Paris
• Eat charcuterie and small bites in underground bars
• Learn which cafés locals actually frequent in Montmartre
• Maximum legal wine allocation per person
• Navigate backstreet Montmartre away from main crowds

What to expect

Expect to walk at a steady pace through Montmartre's quieter streets, stopping at unmarked doorways and dimly lit rooms where regulars recognise each other. You'll be introduced to bar owners and staff who know PJ; conversations are intimate, not scripted. Wine pours are generous and paired with cured meats and simple snacks. The evening builds through several venues, each with its own character. You'll stand, sit, taste, and chat—no formal tasting notes or wine jargon unless you want it. Dress code is casual; the vibe is insider.
