Private experiences
At varius vel pharetra vel turpis
Private sessions cover the same wines and the same topics as in our public experiences.
But if you wish, we may alternatively focus on a specific theme:
- A region (Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Rhône valley, Loire, Alsace, Champagne, etc.)
- A style of wine (light summer wines, dark rich reds, light summer wines, sparkling wines, etc.)
- A grape (cabernet, pinot noir, syrah, chardonnay, etc.)
Blind tasting games may be held too.
if you would like to book a different time or date or a different topic (a grape, a style of wine, a region, etc), please contact us at contact@archibon.fr for more information.
There will be no foreign person joining.
English or French are possible.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
What wines are served?
We pour 6 fabulous French wines:
- 1 champagne (because life needs bubbles)
- 2 whites
- 3 reds to round things out.
All are handpicked from small growers who prioritize quality over quantity.
You’ll sip your way through France’s iconic regions: Champagne, Loire, Burgundy, Rhône/Languedoc, and Bordeaux.
And what food?
Our plate includes 5 artisan cheeses and charcuterie. The perfect companions for the wines!
Fresh traditional baguette is served. Straight from the boulangerie!
Can you accomodate diet restrictions?
We aim to please! Here’s how we adapt:
- Cheese or meat only: Let us know, and we’ll double up your favorite.
- Gluten-free: Crackers and bread are available, but please request in advance.
- Vegan: Options are limited, but we can provide nuts and veggie bites. A little notice goes a long way!
How about group size?
- Public Tastings: Up to 10 guests. On average, we host 6–8 people.
- Private Events: We can host up to 25 seated guests.
Whether it’s intimate or lively, the vibe is always welcoming.
What language is spoken?
- Public Tastings: English only. If you’d like a French session, contact us before booking.

Where does the experience take place?
We’ll meet at ARCHIBON, at 13 rue Rougemont, 75009 Paris. Look for the door with antique tiles showing a milkmaid - she’s your sign!
We’re a stone’s throw from the Louvre, Palais Garnier, and Galeries Lafayette.
The nearest metro stop is Grands Boulevards (Exit 6: Rue Rougemont) on lines 8 and 9.
Is walking involved?
Not at all! This is a seated event in a private, cozy bar. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the wine and conversation.
Is Archibon accessible to people with disabilities?
The entrance is wheelchair accessible (just a tiny step under 2 inches). We’ll happily arrange seating to ensure comfort and a great view of the presentation. Just give us a heads-up!
Sadly, the restroom isn’t wheelchair accessible, and we deeply apologize for this limitation.
Can I buy wine after the experience is over?
Absolutely! You can purchase the wines we taste - and many more!
What is the cancellation policy?
Life happens!
- Cancellations: free until 7 days before your session.
- Rescheduling: until 24 hours in advance, subject to availability.
Not sure of your new plans? No worries - we’ll hold your rescheduling request until you’re ready
