Bayern qualified for the quarter-finals as second behind Lyon.
The local opponent, PSG, marched through the preliminary round with six wins and 25: 0 goals and will initially compete in Munich as first in the group.
In the French league, Paris are in second place behind Lyon with ten wins from eleven games.
Against PSG there is a reunion for Bayern with ex-player Sara Däbritz.
The 26-year-old national player moved from Munich to France in 2019.
"We know that PSG have a very strong team with world-class players," said Bayern coach Jens Scheuer, referring to the duel: "Conversely, I'm sure that none of the group winners wanted us as an opponent."
Wolfsburg won a gripping group ahead of Juventus and the preseason finalist, Chelsea.
All three teams were tied after six games.
VfL's performance on the last day of the match was particularly impressive, when the Bundesliga runners-up beat Chelsea 4-0.
Arsenal, leaders of the English Women's Super League and with star striker Vivianne Miedema in their own ranks, prevailed against TSG Hoffenheim in a duel for second place.
Last year's winners from Barcelona are considered to be the title contenders.
They are the clear favorites in the Clásico against Real Madrid.
In the Spanish league, Barcelona have won all 14 games of the season so far, Real are ninth with 22 points less.
The possible semi-final pairings were drawn at the same time.
Bayern and Wolfsburg can only meet in the final in Turin at the earliest.
The Munich women could meet group opponents Lyon again if they advance, but a duel with Juventus is also possible.
Wolfsburg would face Real or Barcelona in the semifinals.
