"I booked expecting a classic wine tasting but it turned out to be one of the most special experiences of my trip. It was emotional, surprising, and so different from anything I had done before. It stayed with me long after the evening ended."
— Viator guest, Paris
"It's not about memorizing grapes or regions. By the end I actually understood my personal taste in wine, which I never expected. We also left with a guide to choosing French wine that I've already used. One of the best experiences I had in Paris."
— Viator guest, Paris

Creative Wine Therapy:
Fashion Edition
Twenty years as a creative director in fashion taught me that all the senses speak the same language. This experience is the proof. Mood boards, textures and visual references sit alongside wine and Champagne, creating a tasting conversation you have never had before. Ideal for creative teams, brand events and curious minds.
Private group | 6 people minimum | 2 hours | €185 per person
"Her approach to wine was unlike anything we had experienced before: intuitive, emotional, and deeply immersive. We left inspired, surprised, and honestly seeing wine in a completely different way."
— Viator guest, Paris
Champagne Therapy
A private Champagne experience in Reims co-designed with an exclusive off-mainstream Maison. We visit the caves, taste a curated selection of Champagnes guided by The Wine Translation Method, and go deeper into the wines than any standard visit allows. Designed exclusively for my clients.

I'm Mari Jacob
I built these experiences because wine should bring joy, not anxiety. And because Paris, tasted the right way, stays with you forever.I am an international sommelier based in Paris. Over years of formal wine training, I developed The Wine Translation Method, a way of taking everything I learned and making it approachable, sensory and personal.The goal is simple: you leave understanding French wine through your own palate, not through someone else’s rules.I work with small groups. Every experience is guided, intimate and completely different from a standard tasting.
