Secret Paris: How to Find the Smallest Vineyard

🍷 A Secret Vineyard in Paris? Oh là là! 🍇 ⁠
⁠
Paris and wine go together like baguettes and cheese, but did you know there’s a real working vineyard hidden in Montmartre? ⁠
⁠
Yep, just a few steps from the Sacré-Cœur, Clos Montmartre has been growing grapes and bottling wine since 1933—a rebellious act to stop developers from paving over this little slice of history. ⁠
⁠
WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT⁠
⁠
🍷 Produces around 1,500 bottles per year—making it one of the rarest wines in France. ⁠
⁠
🍇 The vines cover 1,556 square metres, making it the smallest vineyard in Paris. ⁠
⁠
🎭 The annual Fête des Vendanges in October celebrates the harvest with parades, music, and a whole lot of wine-fuelled fun. ⁠
⁠
🏛️ The wine label? Designed by local artists—because this is Montmartre, after all. ⁠
⁠
THE CATCH⁠
⁠
But here’s the catch: you *can’t* just stroll in for a tasting. The vineyard is usually closed to the public, and the wine is sold at charity auctions rather than in shops. So if you’re keen, you’ll have to plan your visit for the festival—or make friends with a well-connected Parisian. ⁠
⁠
For the rest of us, it’s a case of peering through the railings at the vines.⁠
⁠
