Fodor's Review:

Fans of wine making will enjoy this quirky museum housed in a 15th-century abbey, a reminder of Passy's roots as a pastoral village. Though hardly exhaustive, the collection includes old wine bottles, glassware, and ancient wine-related pottery excavated in Paris. Wine making paraphernalia shares the grottolike space with hokey figures retired from the city's wax museum, including Napoléon appraising a glass of Burgundy, but you can partake in a thoroughly nonhokey wine tasting, or bring home one of the 200-plus bottles for sale in the tiny gift shop. If you call ahead, the staff will arrange a guided tour in English. You can book ahead for lunch, too.

Cost: EUR 8.90 with glass of wine; EUR 2 for English audioguide; wine tastings EUR 14-EUR 26, includes admission
Open: Tues.-Sun. 10-6
Metro: Passy
