The glitz and glamour of the trade fair is spilling out onto the streets of Paris once again, with its third OFF selection of restaurants and cocktail bars.

Wine Paris & Vinexpo Paris will rock the French capital from February 13 to 15 with its third OFF selection – the perfect wining and dining experience in the city. A total 180 venues spread across every district have been hand picked especially for their emphasis on wine, service and mixology.

The criteria for the latest selection run the gamut from unique and lively venues with an eclectic wine list, to winegrowers with a clean work ethos, quality spirits, good food and the feel-good factor. An impressive 100 new establishments made this year’s list, from wine merchants serving food to Michelin-starred restaurants. It aims to provide a unique, user-friendly experience for all epicureans and wine and spirits enthusiasts, while celebrating Paris’ incredible range of gourmet foods.

The third edition poster was signed by the talented illustrator and poster artist Thomas Baas, who is one of the leading names in contemporary illustration. Participating OFF bars and restaurants will host exclusive wine and cocktail-focused events for three evenings.
