The United States needs more wine shops like this! We stumbled upon this place after the beer shop we were looking for was closed for the afternoon. I mean, we're in Paris so you gots to drink some vin, oui? The owner, Phillippe, was absolutely lovely and chatted with us about the various wines they have on tap (40!). How it works: It's a card system that is loaded with 20 Euros. You go around and put the card into the machine, pick the wine you want and the sample size. You can get just a sample, medium fill or a full glass. Once you're done drinking, hand the card to the cashier and pay the amount you drank. Most of the sample sizes cost around 1-1.5Euro. For me, this is a great way to sample a variety of wines without committing to a full glass. There is plenty of seating on the main floor as well as the lower level. Bringing some snacks and it would make for a great evening! read more

Looooved Wine Touch! Basically you get a pre-paid card (you don't have to spend the whole amount) and swipe the card each time you want to try one of the many, many different wines scattered around the shop. [If you like sweet dessert wines they're all downstairs!] Prices for each tasting range based on how much you want (half or full glass) and the type of wine. Philippe the owner was especially friendly and super helpful with explaining the process, the wines, and which meats and cheeses paired best. read more

Loved this place. Learned so much I'm still using all the information I learned to this day. Thank you Philippe!! read more

Wine Touch - Wine Bars Near Me - Paris, 75

Are you in Paris? Do you need a bottle of wine to enjoy alongside the goodies you've accumulated? Come here. I was immediately greeted by a friendly man (it must have been Philippe), and I asked if he could recommend a wine to accompany camembert (well, vegan camembert that I picked up from Un Monde Vegan, but he didn't need to know that). He asked for my preferences and my price range, and within a minute he picked out a perfect, affordable Chablis. I was in and out within 5 minutes. I would absolutely come back to stay and taste wines. Their setup looks so cool! But if you need a bottle to go, it's amazing for that too. Thank you, Wine Touch! You made my wine & cheese night complete. read more

POS is closed and has been for 6 months. Update this stupid spot. Had us wasting a Uber trip and walking around looking like lost tourists trying to find it!! Don't waste you time!! read more

Best wine tasting place in Paris!!!! Philip is an excellent host/owner!!! Explains to everyone how it works and also shares all his love and knowledge of wine!!! I would not only come back here every single time I'm in Paris, but also I have been recommending Wine Touch to ANYONE who is headed to the city of lights. Really cozy and charming ambiance in the Cave. Absolutely LOVE it!!! read more

Wine Touch is great. I was looking for a cheap place to drink. My mind was on a patio cafe, but this place kept popping up, so I suggested it to my wife. Turned out to be a great hit. Philippe greets you when you walk in and will explain how it works (pretty simple, put your card in, place your glass under the wine respective tap, hold down on the portion size you want until the wine starts pouring) and will talk about the wines for hours. My wife and I were lucky to walk into the shop when it was empty, so he talked with us the entire time about different wines and grapes. It was a full education on French wines (the only kind he serves). The wines are available as taste pours, half glasses (~2.5 ounces) and full pours. You'll get a wide variety of prices, from €28 for a glass to €4 for a glass. He carries at least 5 wines at each price point. I drank a bunch of €2 half pours while my wife enjoyed some €10-18 half pours. Something for everyone!! I can't recommend this place enough. This is a wonderful first stop to learn about French wines as your start your time in Paris. read more

Awesome experience with the guy who ran the shop. We were the only customers for the majority of our experience and he gave us a guided tour with explanation of the French wine regions through tastes of his many wines. It seemed there were over 100 wines on tap and he understood each and every one! read more

Wine Touch was a wine tasting experience unlike any other I have experienced! The owner, Philippe, was incredibly kind and very informative. My boyfriend and I visited Paris from the US and we spent about an hour to an hour and a half here, tasting various French wines ranging from 1 to 5 euros per glass. I personally didn't taste any that were more expensive than 3.5 euros per glass but everything I had was great! The service was amazing, Philippe taught us a lot and was more than willing to answer any questions we had regarding wine, grapes, regions, and so on. As soon as we entered the premises, Philippe greeted us, offered us a wine tasting experience, and handed us a "credit card" that had 30 euros on it. We then used the credit card to try various wines -- you don't have to use the whole 30 euros, you simply pay for what you use. Of course, we spent the entire 30 and paid the 30 euros right before leaving! Also, it is located in a fun neighborhood with a lot to do and eat all around. There is a patisserie directly across the street from Philippe's place, I do recommend a stop there once you leave feeling a little tipsy. So much fun! Thank you, Philippe! :-) read more

What a cool concept! Wine Touch allows you to put money on a card (20 euro increments), and try samples of a huge range of wines in (what I think are approximately) 1.5, 3, and 4.5 ounce pours. Prices for the smallest pour range from 1 to 5 euros, depending on the wine. Wine Touch allows you to try a huge range of wines, at a wide variety of price points. It's a great way to learn about wine -- compare varietals, or compare different vintages of the same varietal. You can also try a 85 - 100 euro bottle without committing to purchasing an entire bottle. Granted, it's not the cheapest way to drink -- those small pours add up pretty quickly! But it's a really novel (and potentially educational) experience. We were the only ones in the place on a weekday afternoon, and the owner was friendly and very helpful. He gave us detailed information about all of the wines (in French, to my French-speaking partner, but I believe he speaks excellent English as well.) This is a really cool concept; I hope it catches on elsewhere! read more

Nice wine tasting place and retailer. Have 70 good wines for 1 to 6 € a dispensing. You get a card and rack up charges and pay at the end. Very well curated selection with some very fine wine (Grand Cru). Person there was very knowledgeable and helpful. Also played Nelly and Missy elliott over the sound system for a party happening at the same time, which made this one of the most amazing experiences in Paris read more

Out of all the things I did in Paris, this was probably my favorite (aside from eating, of course!). I came with my boyfriend on a Thursday, and we were delighted that we finally found a place to wine taste on a budget. Philippe, the owner, was truly a blessing. We got lucky by being the only ones there because Philippe gave us a tour of the place, and provided extensive knowledge about the wines, where they were from, etc. He even taught us how to tell the difference between the flavor profiles, and gave us recommendations for which order to try the wines in, which specific ones to try, and how to enjoy each one. In terms of the wine, they've an extensive collection - with the coolest dispensary machine I've ever seen. The machine works through a card system, and you basically insert the card, choose how much wine you want (there are 3 options. Sample serving, half serving, and full serving?), put your glass to the tube, and watch your wine pour out :) the prices are all very reasonable too. We strictly did sample servings of each wine since we wanted to try as many as possible. Out of the 10(?) or so wines we tried, the prices ranged from 1-3 euros. Not bad at all if you ask me! Philippe also takes a lot of care in choosing which ones to have on tap. Overall, Wine Touch is a must visit when in Paris. The sincerity in which Philippe enjoys his craft really shows through the overall quality of the place. Pay Wine Touch a visit! read more

Wine touch is a great place for wine beginners who don't know where to start. The owner is really nice and doesn't hesitate to answer any question you may have about wine and wine tasting. His English is really good and he has no problem communicating with people from US or UK. 5/5 would come back again! read more

Similar to the concept popularized by Wine by One - it's a "choose your own wine adventure" shop. There are lots of taps and you get a card, load it up with Euros, and choose tastes, mediums, or large pours. Staff and even fellow guests can help you out if you are lost. Should be open later - only critique. read more

Excellent experience with Philippe. The selections were great, service was impeccable. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you go to Paris. read more

I stopped into Wine Touch early and was lucky to have Philippe all to myself to sample 7 reds from all around France (I am not wine savvy so I asked him to choose them so I could learn more). He is very knowledgeable and a great host...and has a great selection at all prices. I ended up a Bordeaux fan and left with a lovely bottle. If you like wine and visit Paris, this is certainly a place to check out. read more

Loved this place!!! My sister and I wanted to do a wine tasting while in Paris. Found this place on yelp and decided to check it out. So glad we did. Small place with 70+ wines to try. We were in search for a good sweet French wine and our host led us to so great options and left us to wine away. We loved all of them!! We were like kids in a candy shop. Would love to go back one day!! read more

Great wine and awesome owner! I recommend this versus a packed wine tasting. You can drink at your own pace and select as many or few wines as you like. Awesome place, the reviews were right! read more

Came to Paris and was looking for some wine tasting place. Very good system, I can see why everyone else put 5 stars for this place.

Visited Wine Touch with two friends during our first trip to Paris. Phillippe is truly remarkable. Thanks to him our first experience wine tasting was exquisite and one of the most memorable moments of our trip. Not only was he extremely friendly, but he also took the time to explain the process of wine tasting at his shop, shared his insights on the wines we liked, and taught us about specific regions of France. Learned a great deal and walked away with my ideal bottle of red wine. read more

Fun way to try French wines that I did not know much about. Knowledgeable staff helped me understand the regions ratings and wines they create. Way better than buying random in a wine shop! Packed eight for home! read more

A wonderful shop with a wonderful owner! You get a "credit card" and insert it into the machine for a sample or a glass. We pay for what you drink. A great way to sample a 100 euro bottle for 4 euro. Much fun! read more

This place is AWESOME. Come here if you are visiting Paris. I feel like a "kid in a candy store" Willy Wonka status.

My wonderful fiancée surprised me with a trip to Paris for my 30th birthday. A trip to the Louvre was top of our list but alas, it was closed due to the Seine bursting its banks! It turned out to be a massive blessing in disguise because we went to Wine Touch instead and I can't imagine that even the Louvre could have been as enriching (and intoxicating!) an experience as we had there. We began browsing the spectacular array of wines on display and asked our host, Philippe, if he minded telling us about the wines. What followed was a wonderful 90-minute crash course in French wine! Philippe is incredibly passionate, knowledgeable and friendly. He told us all about the different regions and explained once and for all how the labelling on French wines works! My fiancée and I tried three wines each, with the Burgundy being our favourites. But all were amazing! It was a wonderful experience and is a must-do for all visitors to Paris with the mildest interest in wine and its significance in French culture. read more

This is both a wine store and a bar where you can top up a prepaid card and self-serve wine out of some dispensary machines. Most wines are about $3 to $5 euros for a half cup. I don't really drink reds but the owner was kind enough to walk me through different reds for an hour and a half! I learned more in this time than all the tours I've been on combined. He even stayed passed his normal closing time for me and some late patrons. One of my highlights of Paris. read more

This is a fantastic place to come and try and buy French wine. We were lucky enough to have Phillipe the owner walk us through each region and has favorite wines. Was a superb experience to be able to try many different wines, highly recommend it to anyone who is keen to try French wine but doesn't know where to start! read more

This place is awesome! You get a "credit card" to taste all the wines you want and pay at the end!

The best way to discover wine without pressure. Credit your card, choose the bottle and quantity and... drink. The owner is nice and very helpful. read more

The best place for wine tasting I've been to. Phillippe, the owner, was amazing in his French wine knowledge and friendliness. Whatever your wine tastes are, he will show you the wine that you want. Grab some cheese and charcuterie from next door and you are set. You can stay there for hours. And, you are sure to go home with some bottles. It is hidden, so make sure to look for it in a small street off of Rue Rambuteau just east of Sebastopol. Any winephile should at least stop by for some info on wine requests. read more

Affordable wine tasting with from age and charcuterie offerings. The host is super informative with ample knowledge of French wines. They use a card system and you pay the the end for what you drank. You're not forced to pay 20 euros ahead of time if you don't drink the full 20 euros. Fromage and meats range from 3 euros and up nice casual atmosphere with cute cozy dens on bottom floor with more wines! Would visit again next time! read more

This was the perfect rainy day activity! Philip was very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable about all of the different (78) wine and regions. Going on a Tuesday evening was ideal because we almost had the whole place to ourselves. There is food available, but we stuck to the wine. Highly recommend - quaint spot and many different wines to taste! read more

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place, it was amazing. We were able to taste a number of different wines as there was over 80 options available. The owner was so kind and he was making suggestions as we tasted based on what we liked. It was such a fun way to sample wines from the famous French wine regions. read more

Visiting from the U.S. we wanted to take a nice bottle of French wine back to our parents as a memento of our brief time in Paris. Came across Wine Touch on Yelp and it was well reviewed so thought we'd check it out. Luckily for us, Phillippe, the owner spoke English. He was incredibly helpful in suggesting wines our parents would enjoy considering we didn't really give him much to go off of. He gave us instructions on how the wines should be kept and how to serve. Added bonus, they're able to ship to the states. So if the parents enjoy, easy access to more. Definitely recommend this place if you're a wine fan. read more
