Montmartre in the evening, the click of heels on the cobblestones, the faint sound of music, glasses clinking in a hidden room in the back of a cave a vin. Dives that tourists never find, luxurious spots where oysters and champagne are the norm. For 999 euros, two people will receive an evening that feels like being invited into a private wine cellar by a celebrity chef friend.
No large groups, no tourist traps. If you want to bring friends, we have an absolute maximum of 6 guests. Just PJ and his hand-picked wines and stories, only a local chef who grew up in these streets would know.
The Experience:
A hidden room in the back of a humble wine store, which many Parisians do not know exists. A plate of raw milk cheese that is not available outside of the country. PJ’s signature pairings to meld with the flavours of the exquisite cheeses. Hear the story of each vintage and why that particular bottle matters to the soul of France. This tour is designed for two or a very small party. Every question is answered, every pour is personal.
A few steps away, experience oysters and bubbles, standing at a cafe table in the front of one of the best seafood restaurants in the world, as the French do. Tonight, you are not a tourist but a treasured guest.
A short walk up the hill to one of the most exclusive spots in all of Paris, where PJ will select more wine to tease your senses.
The Finale: A dive bar in the best sense, a piece of Parisian soul that has not changed in decades. Edith Piaf's photos line the wall, as it was her favorite hangout.
Why This Is True Luxury Private Wine Experience in 2026:
No long bus or car rides to crowded tasting rooms for sips. You have Chef PJ to answer your questions, educate and entertain you. This is the only luxury wine tour in Montmartre.
PJ is the former star of Eating Europe and Secret Food Tours and has his own restaurant in Montmartre. You have access to 40 years of wine knowledge. He is famous for his small group tours, and for those on a lesser budget, they are a wonderful option. Even those only allow a handful of participants.
There are other wine walks in the area that take up to 15 guests who do not have access to the small and exclusive places that Chef PJ can offer.
You access wines that never leave the country. At under 500 euros per person, this accessible luxury gives you the same level of personalisation you would expect from a 3000 euro private sommelier experience, but with soul and humour.
Meet the Chef
Chef PJ, beloved in Montmartre, a raconteur, a renegade, a biker, a passionate storyteller who turned his love for Paris into The Chef Tours. From TripAdvisor guests:
“An Experience Not To Be Missed”
“Chef PJ is a national treasure!”
“It's PJ's town, and we can only visit, but what a visit it is.”
Part chef, part historian, part friend.
The tour begins at 7:30 and lasts close to 4 hours. If you have tickets to the late show at Moulin Rouge, he will drop you off in front of the theatre. Private guiding, wines paired with snacks, and the magic only PJ can provide. This is perfect for honeymooners, those celebrating anniversaries, or wine lovers who want a deeper experience than a standard wine tasting. Lighter is the heart that has sipped Montmartre with Chef PJ.
You don’t just taste Paris; you feel like you belong to it.
