HotelChatter

Available at both the Hilton Arc de Triomphe Paris and the Hilton Paris La Defense, the package includes:

- a night’s stay
- breakfast
- a 2-hour wine tasting at O Chateau, a 17th century cellar founded by Olivier Magny, a young sommelier known as “the Jamie Oliver of wine” (that’s code for “cute, with kinda shaggy hair”)
- an O Chateau bottle opener and Drop Stop

The tasting will give you the chance to sample six French wines, including Champagne, and there’ll also be tips on how to read wine lists and labels, and how to drink wine without looking like an idiot. Conveniently, the cellar is only about 10 minutes away from both Hiltons in a taxi (15 minutes by Metro), so you can get sozzled and then return to your room for a disco nap.

The package is available now through December 15, and starts at 220 Euros (about $314 U.S.) at Hilton Paris La Défense, and 340 Euros (about $506 U.S.) at Hilton Arc de Triomphe Paris. The only catch? You have to book through the hotels directly. For Hilton Arc de Triomphe Paris, phone + 33 (0) 1 58 36 67 16 or email Reservations.adt@hilton.com; for Hilton Paris La Defense, phone +33-1-4692-1010 or email rm.ladefense@hilton.com
