Giverny and Wine Tasting with Private Pick-Up and Drop-Off
Walk through Monet's legendary gardens, then discover the finest flavors of French wine on a fully private excursion.
This private Giverny tour from Paris combines a guided visit to Claude Monet's iconic house and gardens with an immersive one-hour wine tasting session led by specialists. Your driver picks you up directly from your hotel and returns you at the end of the day, making the experience seamless from start to finish.
Giverny is a small village in Normandy where Monet spent the final decades of his life and produced some of his most celebrated works. The property he transformed into a living canvas, from the flower garden to the water garden with its famous Japanese bridge, remains one of the most visited cultural sites in France.
After exploring the grounds with an audio guide, the tour transitions to a curated wine tasting experience. France's wine heritage is among the richest in the world, and this session offers a structured introduction to regional varietals, tasting techniques, and the broader landscape of French viticulture.
The private format means the pace and focus of the day are tailored to your group. There are no large crowds to navigate, no shared coaches, and no fixed timelines imposed by other visitors.
