Discover the history and lingo of natural wine in Paris

Suddenly, natural wine seems to be everywhere. Paris is the natural wine capital of Europe, with a rich history in the wine industry. You’re invited to join me, the owner of wine cellar/bookstore Rerenga Wines, in a special wine tasting aiming to unite Parisian tradition with radical, inclusive perspectives. • Seated around a table in the center of the shop, surrounded by eye-catching wine labels and book titles, you’ll be greeted with a glass of bubbly while we chat about natural wine. • With our second glass of wine, paired with select cheeses from our friends at Ratafia (a cheesemonger and wine bar in the 12th arrondissement), we’ll dive into its history. Natural wine might feel like the hottest culinary trend, but where did it come from? • Along with some natural wine vocab, we’ll give you the scoop on the contemporary natural wine scene in Paris. You’ll learn about the legendary wine stores and restaurants in Paris that paved the way for natural wine’s rise across the globe. • As we enjoy our third wine, I’ll share tips for talking to a sommelier so you can make the most of the spirit of discovery in this city. By our last glass of wine, we’ll hopefully know each other well enough to talk about love and revolution. We’ll explore what we’re supporting when we drink natural wine and hopefully plant the seeds for friendships that last long beyond these walls.

Shoping French style with a stylist

*First, I will send you a list of detailed questions that will help me to know you a little bit and understand your expectations. *Then, based on your answers, I will choose boutiques that will correspond with your style. In the nice atmosphere, we will try the looks that will make you feel your best - we will try things in your comfort zone and a few out of your comfort zone, which with your permission, I will suggest. We will meet in le Marais district, the heart of the local Parisian fashion scene where you will have a chance to discover Parisian designer boutiques that would be difficult to find on your own.

I will be happy to give you style advice and prepare looks for you, but if you prefer to shop on your own, I will take you to the best shopping spots. The goal of this experience is to introduce you to the Parisian fashion scene and let you discover hidden local boutiques, brands, and vintage/consignment stores that you couldn't find on your own, and find you the pieces that you will wear in the next years. All the boutiques are reasonable: 190-250 euros for tops and bottoms and around 290-350 euros for dresses. All is produced in Europe with high-quality fabrics and in proper working conditions."
