The Montmartre Confidential Wine Tour by Chef PJ
Montmartre always knows how to keep a secret. You just need the right guide to unlock it. That guide is Chef PJ, the Paris-based founder of The Chef Tours and the creator of one of the unique wine experiences in the city. Welcome to the Montmartre Confidential Wine Tour, a three-and-a-half-hour journey through hidden corners, quiet passages, story-filled cafés and speakeasy-style spots that locals guard closely.
This is not a tourist loop. This is Paris at ground level with a chef who actually knows the neighborhood.

Why Montmartre Confidential Is Different?
Montmartre is famous, but it also has layers people miss. Chef PJ grew up in kitchens, worked around the world and settled in Paris because the food culture felt like home. His tour blends wine, food, storytelling and history in a way that feels natural, warm and deeply Parisian.
What makes it special:
1. Tiny groups that stay personal
Only six guests join PJ at a time. This keeps the experience intimate and easy. You taste wines, ask questions and enjoy the city without crowds pushing through.
2. Hidden bars and secret stops
Montmartre still holds surprises. PJ takes guests down quiet alleys, past little-known corners and into places that do not appear in guidebooks. Some are tucked behind unmarked doors. Some are restaurants only locals know. Every stop feels like being let in on something special.
3. Wines chosen with a chef’s palate
PJ tastes and curates wines himself. The result is a lineup that feels thoughtful, perfectly paced and deeply connected to France. From crisp whites to darker rustic reds, each pour tells a story.
4. Food that honors the neighborhood
This is not a snack-plate tour. Guests enjoy pairings and small dishes that highlight classic Parisian flavours. The restaurant partners directly with PJ so that his guests get warm service and real hospitality.
The Energy of Montmartre at Night
Montmartre Confidential usually begins just before the lights of Paris soften into evening. Streets turn a little quieter. Conversations spill out of doorways. The city feels like a film set with its own mood.
Walking with PJ through this atmosphere is half the charm. He knows shopkeepers, chefs, students, musicians and bartenders. The neighborhood treats him like one of its own, and that energy spills into the tour.
Perfect for Wine Lovers, Curious Travelers and Food Enthusiasts
No one needs prior wine knowledge. PJ keeps everything simple, friendly and enjoyable. Guests walk away with:
- New wines to look for
- Tasting notes they can actually use
- A better sense of Montmartre’s history
- A real connection to the local Paris food culture
This is the tour people remember when the trip is over.
