LAVINIA: the wine heaven in Paris
In the vicinity of Paris in the near future? Then you have to go to LAVINIA. It is the most fantastic wine shop, wine bar, and wine restaurant in the city all in one. And bring a wheeled suitcase just to be safe, because leaving empty-handed really isn’t an option.
Near the Paris Opera lies the most beautiful wine shop I know: LAVINIA. With a wine selection that will make your mouth water. The endless quantity of bottles comes from every corner of the world, with more than 40 countries represented. Naturally, most attention goes to their own beloved wine regions, but there are some truly unique specimens among them as well.
Cult wine
More than 1,500m², spread across three floors, with nothing but wine… Well, actually, not only wine. There is also an impressive collection of wine accessories and international wine books. And be sure to visit the special refrigerated wine cellar—sealed off with electric sliding doors. Behind those magical doors, you’ll find cult wines that you will probably never see again in your lifetime (let alone drink).
Top wine at shop prices
And now the very best part. In the restaurant on the first floor, you can enjoy a delicious meal. First reserve a table when you arrive, and only then head into the shop. There, you can choose any wine you like to have served with your meal. At shop prices. Just be careful not to accidentally pick that one Château Lafite Rothschild, 1er Cru Classé 2003, priced at €1,885, from the shelves.
These days, LAVINIA branches can also be found at La Défense in Paris, in Geneva, and in Madrid.
