TLC Paris tip: Don’t try to navigate the entire selection alone. Tell the team your budget, preferred style and what the bottle is for — dinner tonight, a gift, or something special to take home. Lavinia is most useful when you take advantage of the breadth of the cellar and let an expert narrow the choice. If you have time, combine the shopping visit with a glass or meal for a more complete wine experience.

The Experience+

Think: part wine shop, part wine playground. Lavinia is built for browsing — shelves that feel endless, staff who can translate your taste into bottles, and a wine-bar angle when you want to pause and sip. Come with curiosity, leave with a new favorite.

What to Do First (Wine Bar Game Plan)+
  • Start with 1 glass — pick “crisp white” or “light red” to calibrate your mood
  • Ask for 2 options — one classic, one surprise (same budget)
  • Then browse — once your palate is “awake,” bottles make more sense

Tip: say “not too oaky” / “more mineral” / “more fruit” — those phrases unlock the perfect pour.

What to Buy (Bottles & Take-Home)+
  • “Paris dinner” bottle — easy, food-friendly red or mineral white
  • Celebration pick — Champagne or sparkling for an instant upgrade
  • Host gift — something elegant + safe (ask for “crowd-pleaser”)
  • Discovery pair — two bottles, same grape, different regions (fun comparison)

Browse online: Open ↗

Wine Bar / Food & Pairings+

For the “wine bar” side (and any food format), use the official Restaurants page: Open ↗

  • Apéro mode — 1 glass + something salty, then decide if you stay
  • Pairing shortcut — tell them what you’re eating (cheese / charcuterie / fish / spicy)
Bonne journée / TLC Paris Tip+
  • Go early if you want calm browsing; go later if you want the “wine bar” rhythm.
  • Ask for “one classic + one discovery” — it keeps it chic and unexpected.
  • If you’re traveling, choose a bottle with a story (region / grape / producer) — it photographs well too.

TLC Paris Concierge note: Lavinia is particularly useful when you want expert help rather than simply browsing shelves. Give the sommelier a budget and describe what you normally enjoy — or ask for a French region or producer you are unlikely to find at home. Collectors should ask about the downstairs prestige cellar and old vintages, while curious wine drinkers can look for wines available by the glass or tasting measure. Combine the visit with the Arc de Triomphe and Avenue Victor Hugo rather than looking for the former Madeleine store.

Lavinia Paris is a landmark for wine lovers in the heart of the city, bringing together the scale of a great European wine house with the pleasure of tasting and discovery. Set just steps from Place de la Madeleine, this three-level space invites both curious newcomers and seasoned connoisseurs to explore one of the most extensive wine selections in Paris.

Inside, more than 6,500 wines, champagnes, and spirits from France and across the world are presented with clarity and care, from accessible everyday bottles to rare, collectible vintages. Wines are stored under controlled conditions to preserve their character, allowing visitors to browse with confidence and curiosity. The selection spans classic French regions such as Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne, alongside a wide international offering that reflects Lavinia’s global vision.

Beyond retail, Lavinia is also a place to pause and enjoy. The wine bar allows guests to taste a generous rotating selection by the glass, or to choose a bottle directly from the shelves to enjoy on site, prepared by the sommelier team. The atmosphere is relaxed yet knowledgeable, making it equally suited to an informal apéritif or a deeper exploration of a particular region or producer.

The experience is completed by an in-house restaurant offering seasonal, market-driven cuisine designed to pair naturally with the wines on offer. Thoughtful dishes and precise pairings turn a visit into a full sensory moment, where food and wine speak the same language.

Lavinia’s location makes it an easy and elegant stop when moving through this part of Paris. It fits naturally into an itinerary that includes Rue Royale, a stroll toward Place de la Concorde, or a walk through the Tuileries Garden, and pairs effortlessly with shopping along Rue Saint-Honoré or cultural stops near Opéra Garnier. Whether before dinner or as a destination in itself, Lavinia feels woven into the rhythm of the neighborhood.

What truly defines Lavinia is its team. Knowledgeable, approachable sommeliers guide visitors through the collection with ease, helping to select wines for gifts, travel memories, celebrations, or simple everyday pleasure. Whether you arrive with a clear idea or none at all, the experience feels personal rather than overwhelming.

With TLC Paris Concierge, a visit to Lavinia becomes more than shopping—it becomes part of a Parisian moment, blending discovery, taste, and the pleasure of lingering in one of the city’s great wine addresses.
