Wine tasting without the usual fuss. This vegan wine tasting in Paris’s 11th pairs three French wines with turntable music, set in a casual shop atmosphere near Père Lachaise. I especially like the generous pours and how the host (Valentin is one of the names you might meet) takes time to match the tasting to what you actually like.
One thing to consider: the shop area may show non-vegan items for sale, even though the tasting and food are vegan. If you need a completely vegan-only environment, that mismatch could bother you.

A 4pm Vegan Wine Tasting in Paris’s 11th, near Père Lachaise
This experience is timed nicely for late afternoon. The start time is 4:00 pm, and it runs about an hour, so it fits well between a museum visit and an evening meal.
The meeting point is 99 Rue du Chemin Vert, 75011 Paris. It’s in a neighborhood that’s convenient for seeing real Paris street life—then stepping into a shop for a tasting that feels more like a hangout than a formal lesson.
You’ll get an English-offered experience, and you’ll receive a mobile ticket after booking. That matters in Paris: you don’t want to hunt for paper tickets or guess where you’re supposed to go.

What you’ll drink: three French wines and a vineyard-to-shop story
The core of the tasting is simple: you sample three French wines, with the emphasis on where they come from and what makes them work together. The experience is described as coming “direct from the producers,” with a vineyard-to-shop angle that turns tasting notes into something more grounded.
You typically get a choice among whites, reds, rosé, or sparkling. That flexibility helps because wine tasting can go sideways fast if you’re stuck with styles you don’t enjoy. If you love crisp whites, you don’t have to sit through heavy reds to fill the hour.
A strong theme in the experience is that the host explains as you taste. People highlight how the host takes time answering questions and talking through how winemaking choices show up in the glass. If you’re not fluent in French wine language, that’s a big plus—this is set up for learning without making you feel behind.
Vegan snacks that actually keep pace with the pours
Wine tastings fail when the food arrives late or doesn’t match the wine. Here, the snacks are built for the rhythm of three pours. You’ll get vegan snacks that pair with the wines, plus a laid-back vibe that makes the whole thing feel friendly rather than strict.
From what’s described, the snack lineup can include things like:
- crudités (for example carrots and green radish)
- baguette
- dips such as hummus and smoked eggplant
- crackers/vegetable-forward bites
One practical detail: you might have a moment where you wish there was vegan cheese, but the overall snack spread is meant to fill the gaps between pours. In other words, you’re not just tasting wine—you’re tasting wine with food that helps you keep going and enjoy each sample.
Music on turntables turns a lesson into a hangout
A lot of tastings feel like they’re happening in a quiet classroom. This one leans the other way. There’s music on the turntables, so the mood stays casual while you talk wine, ask questions, and nibble along.
The turntable element matters more than you might think. It keeps the experience from feeling overly scripted. You can ask about dry vs. fruity, why a wine feels heavier, or what to try next—without it sounding like a test.
Private means personalized: your host adjusts to your tastes
This is a private tour/activity, meaning only your group participates. That changes the tone. You’re not competing for attention, and your host can slow down for questions or speed up when you already know what you like.
Names you may meet include Valentin and Clement. Across different experiences of this type, those hosts stand out for the same reason: they’re not just reading labels. They explain what you’re tasting and adjust the tasting direction based on your preferences.
People also mention celebrating special occasions here. That’s a clue that the vibe works for more than just “I want to taste some wine.” If you’re traveling with a friend, a partner, or a small group, the private setup makes it easier to turn it into a little ritual during your Paris days.
One more nice detail: there’s mention of a cute dog at the shop. That’s the kind of small local touch that makes a place feel less like a tourist stop and more like someone’s real world.

Price and value: $54.19 for an hour with private attention
At $54.19 per person for about an hour, this doesn’t try to compete with the cheapest tastings. You’re paying for a few things that matter in practice:
- private time with a host
- three wine samples guided with explanations
- vegan snack pairing
- a relaxed setting with music, not a rushed conveyor belt
If you’re the kind of traveler who learns best by asking questions while you’re tasting, private format is where you get value. If you’re just trying to drink as quickly as possible, you might feel the hour is tighter than a longer tasting session—but that’s also why the format works well on an itinerary.
Booking tends to happen with decent lead time (on average about 13 days), so if your schedule is fixed, don’t wait until the last minute.
Getting there at 99 Rue du Chemin Vert: simple, but arrive ready
The good news: it’s near public transportation, so you’re not stuck with a long walk from a transit hub. Still, I’d treat the address like your main task. Paris streets can be charming and confusing at the same time, and this is a small start-time window.
Plan to arrive a few minutes early. You’ll want time to get oriented, check in on-site, and settle before the tasting starts at 4:00 pm.
What to bring:
- your curiosity (you’ll likely have questions)
- a note of what wine styles you like (dry, sweet, fruity, bubbly)
- if you’re strict vegan: mentally flag that the shop may carry non-vegan products for sale (the tasting and snacks are vegan)
The one potential downside: vegan tasting, but not necessarily a vegan-only shop
The most important caution is also the simplest. While the tasting and food are vegan, the shop may display non-vegan products for sale. That has shown up in at least one experience where someone felt misled by the “vegan” framing.
So here’s the practical takeaway: if your priority is vegan food without any meat or fish products visible anywhere, ask a direct question before you commit your time. If your priority is that the wines and snacks served are vegan, you’ll likely feel at home here.
It’s also possible to see this as inclusive rather than misleading: the shop may sell a range of items but still host a vegan-focused tasting. The problem comes down to your personal boundaries.
Who this tasting is perfect for (and who might skip)
This works best for you if:
- you want a guided wine experience in English
- you prefer a private setup where you can ask questions
- you’re vegan (or just vegan-curious) and want wine paired with real snacks
- you like a low-pressure setting with music and a conversational host
You might consider skipping or setting expectations if:
- you need a strictly vegan-only retail environment with no non-vegan items visible
- you dislike spending an hour in one place and want a multi-stop wine crawl
- you’re looking for a deep technical wine seminar only (this is more tasting + explanation than classroom)
Should you book this Vegan Wine Tasting near Père Lachaise?
I’d book it if you want a relaxed, modern Paris experience that mixes French wine with vegan snacks and genuine conversation. The strongest parts are the guided pace (three wines, not ten), the snack pairing, and the private attention that makes the hour feel like it’s built for your tastes.
Just make sure your expectations match the reality of the shop setting. If seeing non-vegan products on display would make you uncomfortable, ask first or choose a different vegan-only venue. If you’re good with that nuance, this is a solid value way to start an evening in Paris with something memorable in your glass.
