What to expect
You'll walk through Belleville's streets—parts cobbled, parts gritty—stopping at three or four intimate bars where the owner often pours. Expect small pours, big conversations, and wine that tastes nothing like what supermarkets sell. You're tasting living wines from living vineyards, which means some bottles will be cloudy, some natural, some unexpected. The food is never flashy, always purposeful. Bring comfortable shoes and a moderate pace; this isn't a race between venues, but a genuine neighbourhood meander.
Good to know
You'll navigate to the start under your own steam using public transport or taxi. The route involves steady walking and climbing some stairs. Not suitable for late pregnancy or those with heart conditions. Wheelchairs, prams, and service animals are welcome at venues.
