Step into a Paris of grandeur and experience the city like royalty, with four fabulous nights of food, wine, entertainment, and rarefied access to the City of Light.
Upon arrival, settle into Kathryn and Craig Hall’s elegant apartment, tucked into one of the city’s finest arrondissements. The following evening, you’ll be welcomed into the Paris home of Jean-Charles Boisset, whose family’s vineyards span from Burgundy and Provence to Napa Valley and the Russian River. After a dinner paired with wines from his Burgundy domaines, you’ll enjoy a dazzling Parisian cabaret from VIP seats — hosted, of course, by Jean-Charles himself.
Your adventure continues as you discover treasures found only in Paris. Step into the world of haute joaillerie with a private visit to Chaumet’s legendary Place Vendôme salon — former home of Frédéric Chopin— where Champagne, archival jewels, and stories of imperial glamour await. Explore the majestic Palais Garnier on a behind-the-scenes tour. Savor a private wine tasting at Les Caves de Taillevent and a sumptuous dinner at the two-Michelin-starred Restaurant Le Taillevent.
The next day takes you behind the gates — and behind the scenes— of the Château de Versailles. Led by a senior member of the Château de Versailles Spectacles team, your private visit includes access to the Opéra Royal, Chapelle Royale, and the palace’s famed rooms and galleries, typically closed to the public. Lunch is served at the historic Le Grand Contrôle, a meticulously restored 18th-century retreat once reserved for Louis XIV’s most esteemed guests, with views overlooking the Orangerie gardens.
To commemorate this extraordinary journey, you’ll receive a one-year charter Social Membership to LE CLUB — Jean-Charles Boisset’s philanthropic art and private social club in Napa Valley. You’ll also receive three exceptional bottles from the Boisset Collection: a magnum of the 2016 JCB No. 1 Cabernet Sauvignon, a magnum of the 2019 JCB No. 3 Pinot Noir, and a bottle of the JCB GALA Millésime V Champagne. A fitting finale to your Parisian adventure, and a tribute to the world of wine, celebration, and beauty that connects Napa Valley to the City of Light.
