A winery, which will be next to restaurant La Bulle Parisienne, will be installed inside the tower and produce the first vintage with an Eiffel Tower label on the bottle
Paris-area winemaking, given a second wind by La Winerie Parisienne project (the first urban winery to open in the capital since 1970), should return to its rightful place in the industry after it was decimated by the Phylloxera plague of the late-19th century.
And what better symbol than the Eiffel Tower to relaunch the city's heritage in viticulture? The idea is becoming a reality with the monument producing its first vintage, to debut in the spring of 2020.
It will be a feast for both the eyes and the tastebuds, as visitors will get a glimpse of the process. As reported by the company that operates the tower (Sete), the winery will be right next to Thierry Marx's restaurant La Bulle Parisienne, as part of the eatery's renovations. To that end, barrels, tanks and a press will be displayed for visitors to admire the process until November.
