    My wife and I had a ton of fun during our wine/cheese experience with Erwan. We were fortunate to come across this class during our thorough search of wine experiences in Paris and chose Erwan's class because of his countless perfect reviews - and we are happy to leave another! The wine was terrific, the cheese pairings were perfect, and we left the class with a better understanding and appreciation for French wine! We just wish we could have stayed there all day!!

    Definitely the highlight of our trip to Paris. Erwan is an excellent host, and took us through five wine and cheese pairings excellently. His talking points were really interesting and actually contained a lot of useful tips! The portions of both the wine and cheese were generous, and when I scoffed the whole basket of bread he got some more. Overall it was a fantastic few hours and worth every penny.

    It’s very obvious that Erwan loves what he does. Not only was the wine, cheese, and bread delicious, but the atmosphere that he creates is unlike anything else I’ve experienced in Paris. He’s personable, knowledgeable, and keeps it fresh with the occasional joke. It was more like a friend explaining wine instead of a boring classroom lesson. I’m walking away full and satisfied and much more knowledgeable about wine than I was before. I hope he continues to see success here and whether you’re a wine pro or beginner, make it a point to plan to see Erwan on your next visit to Paris.

    Our family traveled to Paris recently and had the opportunity to attend Erwan's wine and cheese tasting. What a great experience! I cannot begin to do justice to the fun of learning more about wine, the cheeses that he paired the wines with and the chance to meet people from all over the world. The ambience was amazing, too! I highly recommend this experience! We are eagerly awaiting our first shipment of the wines we tasted - they were excellent!

    I’m a novice to French wines and cheeses. I'm happy to try things when we travel, but as far as knowing anything about what I'm ordering, I had no idea what I was doing. Erwan was the perfect host and teacher to learn more about French wines and learn more about how to pair cheese and wine. Perhaps what I loved about this most is how the tasting was set up to facilitate great conversation between guests and Erwan. Throughout the tasting, we were able to try five different French wines and five different cheeses from various regions of France. (Both white and red wines are included in the tasting, so there is something for everyone.) Erwan has all the wines available for purchase and his recommendations a very reasonably priced. We purchased a couple of bottles to take with us, but he also ships to the United States. I would happily book another wine tasting experience with Erwan to learn more. He is so fiercely passionate about wine and cheese and I really enjoyed learning from him. His wine recommendations are truly exceptional.

    First time in Paris and this was definitely worth it! As someone with little wine knowledge I learned so much during the tasting! Definitely go if you can fit it in one day!

    A fantastic experience. Erwan is very knowledgeable and is truly an exceptional educator of wines, the regions of France and pairings with food. 100% would recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you Erwan for such a memorable afternoon.

    We went for the later tasting with Erwin and I can say that this was absolutely one of the best evenings we spent in Paris. The tasting itself was well structured to explain all a beginner or novice wine drinker would need to know. The cheese's that we were given to pair with each of the 5 wines we tasted were high quality and delicious. I think booking in to do a wine tasting at the secret wine door should be a first to do for any trip to Paris. I found myself using all the knowledge I gained at this tasting at every meal eaten the remainder of the trip. I will definitely be back and cannot recommend highly enough!

    Waouw !! Can't expect better than that !! Very well welcome by Erwann. Cute place. And then the show and dégustation start... AWESOME !! In English, well explained, taking time to reply to all questions, tell some interesting stories, and so and so... The pairing with cheese was excellent as well. Quality-price is the best in Paris for wine testing !!

    This place was in a cute little neighborhood and easy to find. The instructor was outstanding and really knows the answers to everything you want to know about wine. He taught us how to order wine properly while dining out and clarified the regions where the wine was from. I really enjoyed this time and the cheeses were outstanding. It was such a fun time. Can't wait to come back next year to learn and taste more! He also ask a shop you can order from and its amazing! Perfect for the holidays or the secret stash you keep for cold winter nights and snow storms :) Merci Beaucoup!

    What a fantastic couple of hours spent at the Secret Wine Door. If you don't know much about wines, but like drinking wines, you will learn about wines and cheeses. There are some tips that make you a bit more educated. And I wished we came here our first day in Paris vs. our last. I loved learning how the French vs. Americans look at and order wines. I learned about specific French wine regions. And even some background in cheeses. The small group (about 12) of people was so much fun to interact with. We met people from Canada, Australia, and the US. It was a fun and educational experience and I would do it again when we come back. And yes, the wines and cheeses were fantastic.

  • 5/5 Joscha L. 3 months ago on Google • 75 reviews New
    Very openminded and relaxed host. It was a lot of fun to try the different wines & cheese together with the others. Good selection, good info and an excellent vibe!

  • 5/5 Joshua S. 7 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    This is absolutely the best experience. Do this on your first day in Paris. You learn so much about wines and how to order them that it will really make the rest of your dining experience amazing. Erwan is so knowledgeable and friendly and so much fun. The Secret Wine Door is air conditioned and so cute. This will open your eyes and have you thinking differently about wine moving forward.

  • 5/5 Brittany O. 3 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    My Secret Wine Door tasting was a delight beyond words! Erwan expertise added an extra layer of brilliance to the tasting, and the great ambiance created a unique and unforgettable atmosphere. A must-visit for any wine enthusiast seeking a blend of expertise and eccentric charm.

  • 5/5 Megan D. 3 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    Such an awesome experience! My husband and I did this for a fun afternoon in Paris and are so happy we did. Great environment that’s laid back and fun. Definitely would recommend to anyone!

  • 5/5 Mark B. 2 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    I can't say enough good things about the wine and cheese tasting at the Secret Wine Door. The wine and cheese were very good but the host, Erwan was exceptionally informative, friendly and entertaining. This is definitely not a snobby sommelier wine lecture, but an informative experience by someone who loves what he does and enjoys people. The most useful thing I learned was that in France wine is not ordered in a restaurant by the grape variety but by the region and the city. I often wonder about reviews on the web, but in this case the reviews are accurate and correct, definitely a 5 star experience at a reasonable price!

  • 5/5 Van M. 2 years ago on Google
    Erwan is an incredibly knowledgeable and laidback sommelier. This class was super informative, led in an intimate setting and not to mention, tasty!!! We had a very good selection of wine and cheese from various regions in France. The pairing was impeccable. My taste buds exploded in symphony. Everything came in reasonably large portions too. I left with more unexpected knowledge and appreciation for French wine and cheese. Highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in wine.

  • 5/5 Amalie B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience! Learned so much

  • 5/5 Cherrie L. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended wine tasting in Paris. Erwan is very friendly and so knowledgeable about French wine. My friend and I had a very good time during that 2-hr wine tasting. Oh the cheese was good too. 😉

  • 5/5 Paula H. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a private tasting for a group of 13 and Erwan was absolutely lovely! He was extremely knowledgeable without being pretentious, kind, and most importantly patient! The wine and cheese were so delicious as well! I can’t wait to revisit next time I am in Paris.

  • 5/5 Dirk R. 2 years ago on Google
    We had an incredible group tasting with Erwan. He was super friendly and had a great feeling for the group. The wines he offered were amazing and the context he gave was really helpful. Thank you so much - and we will 100% come back!

  • 5/5 Julien G. 5 years ago on Google
    A MUST DO in Paris ! This new cozy place proposes an exiting wine & cheese tasting where you can try 5 different wines matching with 5 cheeses. "AirOne" is leading the show and is very knowledgeable. The beverage/food association is a delight. Many thanks to Erwan for this amazing experience, definitely one of my favorite spot in Paris.

  • 5/5 maia c. 1 year ago on Google
    Erwan knows his stuff. Delicious wines and some of the best cheeses you'll taste in Paris for a very affordable price. Ask him any questions, he is the loveliest person I've met here so far!

  • 5/5 Raquel G. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely incredible time with Erjuan! He made our experience so informative and enjoyable! Something we should've done on our first day in Paris to know how to order wine but so fun none the less. The cheese pairings with the wines were incredible!

  • 5/5 Katie K. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing time. Erwan was an incredible host - he filled in quiet spots with useful info, otherwise just let natural conversation flow. Everyone felt welcome. And great selection of wine and cheese.

  • 5/5 Bianca S. 1 year ago on Google
    This was one of the best wine tours we've experienced. Erwan Leo (the host) is not only knowledgeable but very nice. We never felt rushed or pressured and the wine tour was more of an exploration than a strict lesson. Not to mention the wine and cheese pairings were all delicious, even to novices like us. Thank you Secret Wine Door for an amazing experience.

  • 5/5 Karina De A. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is absolutely incredible! The host is not only extremely knowledgable in wines but, he makes the experience so much fun! Takes your taste buds on a real wine journey! Thanks again for the unforgettable experience. If I could give you 10 stars- I would!

  • 5/5 John M. 10 months ago on Google
    Erwan was charming, entertaining, and very knowledgeable about French wine. We spent two happy hours tasting five wines, each with an accompanying fabulous piece of cheese. We highly recommend this experience.

  • 5/5 Susan K. 10 months ago on Google
    Started our Paris vacation with Erwan and his wonderful wine and cheese tasting program! The wine AND cheese were delicious. Very generous portions, great variety of tastes and Erwan’s warm, friendly and vast knowledge was most appreciated. I was sorry when the program ended and would encourage anyone to spend the two hours to grow your knowledge of wine! Erwan… you are the real deal!

  • 5/5 Rémi G. 4 years ago on Google
    We had such a great time at Secret Wine door. Erwan has shared with us his passion for Wine and Cheese. We have spent a great night there and learnt a lot. I highly recommend this experience during your visit in Paris. Don’t miss it! And don’t forget: knock 3 times to get inside!

  • 5/5 Toralf S. 4 years ago on Google
    On our Paris trip we were looking for an authentic wine and cheese experience to learn more about the French wine culture. This one is an absolute gem and was an amazing experience which is highly recommended. It was a fun two hours in a cozy private environment with the host Erwan being authentic ,fun and super knowledgeable which lead to some nice conversations and interesting facts to be shared within the group.

  • 5/5 Settie B. 3 years ago on Google
    Erwan was kind enough to bring the wine tasting to us for my partner’s birthday. We had a few friends over; he brought the wines, glassware, charcuterie, and a map of the wine regions of France. We learned, had a lot of fun, and tasted some great wines. He also brought bottles for sale. He was friendly, very knowledgeable, and happy to switch between French and English. Would definitely recommend a tasting with him if you’re in Paris.

  • 5/5 Mathias G. 4 years ago on Google
    Such a great wine tasting experience! Lots of knowledge and discussions shared in a fun and interactive way. I did wine and cheese option and I can only recommend it !

  • 5/5 Zach J. 4 years ago on Google
    Absolutely wonderful. Learned more about French wine than I could have ever learned on my own. Our host was extremely friendly, and I cannot wait to recommend him to all of my friends. Merci!!

  • 5/5 Craig D. 4 years ago on Google
    Erwan really knew his stuff and made the whole experience really interesting, even for someone who knew nothing about wine going in! Would definitely recommend it.

  • 5/5 Aaron F. 4 years ago on Google
    As someone who didn't like wine... Erwan made this an excellent and memorable wine tasting, and I even took home a few bottles!

  • 5/5 Michael A. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice, very personable, great experience. 10/10 would go again.

  • 5/5 Laplace C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A superb experience, well done! (Original) Une superbe expérience, bravo!

  • 5/5 Cassandra S. 4 years ago on Google
    Erwan was a great wine guide with a passionate knowledge for cheese and wine. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Anton P. 4 years ago on Google
    Erwan manage to be both professional and easy going at the same time. He knows what he’s talking about but is very humble at the same time. Very good experience! Definitely one of the high points from our five days in Paris. Our group where not very knowledgeable, but pretty interested in wine which I feel was perfect! We asked a lot of questions and that heightened the experience a lot since it created a very interactive and feel good vibe with Erwan.

  • 5/5 Romain R. 4 years ago on Google
    Very enjoyable experience, I recommend !

  • 5/5 Charlotte G. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a fun way to experience a wine and cheese tasting. It's the perfect balance of being informative without being formal and the setting is really cute and cosy too. Thanks :)

  • 5/5 Audrey B. 5 years ago on Google
    I had a great experience last night at Secret Wine door! I have tasted 5 different wines and 5 different cheeses matching perfectly! I spent a great time with great people. Erwan is an awesome host and has an in-depth knowledge of wine and cheese. A must do in Paris during your next visit!

  • 5/5 Joseph K. 2 years ago on Google
    Just had the best experience at the secret wine door. We have done other wine tastings and none even came close. He was knowledgeable, friendly, spoke multiple languages and had the best wines! We never knew much about pairing wine with food and this experience gave us much more confidence. I would highly recommend this to any travelers or even locals who want to support a fellow Parisian!

  • 5/5 Daniel B. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic experience with Erwan. We know a little about American wine but not very much about French wine, the appellations and the subtleties within those regions. Erwan spent almost 2 hours with a small group giving a very personal, friendly and knowledgeable overview and tasting. Note- he runs a small wine shop as well so you can buy a few bottles or ask for recommendations as well. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Bryony D. 2 years ago on Google
    A really wonderful experience. Erwin was super knowledgeable and friendly and really brought the group together, especially considering we all had different experience with wine tasting. It's quite difficult to find activities/tastings like this in big cities so I really can't recommend it enough!

  • 5/5 Megan B. 2 years ago on Google
    I’m exploring Paris, on vacation, and couldn’t help but take the time to write a quick review on the wonderful experience we had today at the Secret Wine Door. He was such a humble, down-to-earth gentleman who clearly knew his wines and pairings. The setting was intimate and encouraged conversation while still feeling casually information-forward. Was a wonderful time and will recommend to anybody and everybody!

  • 5/5 Jennie R. 2 years ago on Google
    Fabulous experience! Erwan is extremely knowledgeable about wine and transfers that knowledge without ever feeling like you're in a classroom. He is energetic and fun and creates a welcoming environment. The wine and cheese selection was excellent - each one was better than the next. I went alone and had a great evening with new friends. I highly recommend this tasting if you're in Paris!

  • 5/5 Wellington R. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We were a group of friends and everything was perfect. The tasting of wines and cheeses was excellent. The service was super-customizable and personalized at all times, and the service remained at an incredible pace. Well, this place has to be a mandatory stop for all tourists that passed through Paris. Follow the successes Erwan! (Original) Estuvimos un grupo de amigos y resultó todo perfecto. La degustación de vinos y quesos estuvo excelente. La atención fue superamable y personalizada en todo momento, y el servicio se mantuvo en un ritmo increible. Bueno, este lugar tiene que ser una parada obligatoria para todos los turistas que pasamos por Paris. Que sigan los éxitos Erwan !!

  • 5/5 Emmanuelle B. 5 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience !! Thank you Erwan for sharing your passion of wine and thank you for all the explanations and your professionalism. I highly recommend this place. Erwan is a great host and is really knowledgeable :) !

  • 5/5 Ami P. 5 years ago on Google
    I had such a good time at the Secret Wine Door! The cheese and wine was fantastic and I learnt so much from Erwan that I will never buy wine in the same way again. Highly recommended and a fun time guaranteed! Will be coming again with others.

  • 5/5 Amélie C. 5 years ago on Google
    Such a wonderfully positive all around experience! An absolute must do in Paris! Aside from the tastefully decorated venue, Erwan’s hospitality, knowledge and professionalism were unparalleled. It is a lovely, intimate setting which does not feel like a classroom and everything is delivered in such a fun, unique way. A very enjoyable time had by all and will definitely return. I am glad the ‘secret’ is out and I cannot recommend enough! Thank you!

  • 5/5 Andre De L. 5 years ago on Google
    French wine and cheese in the french capital! I couldn’t ask for a better experience in Paris. We all know that France is a great producer of wine and cheese but thanks to Erwan and his masterclass now I get to perceive the differences for the rest of my life. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone who’s looking for something out of the ordinary. The place is beautifully decorated and very cozy. I’m coming back for sure in my next visit.

  • 5/5 Maria Natalia Parada M. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a very nice and cozy place. The experience of knowing France through its wines and cheeses is unique, and they have a first class host. I would definitely go back on a next visit to Paris. (Original) Es un lugar muy lindo y acogedor. La experiencia de conocer Francia a través de sus vinos y quesos es única, y tienen un anfitrión de primera. Definitivamente volvería en una próxima visita a Paris.

  • 5/5 Nicolas b. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A super place, the first attention, we had an amazing night with my wife and friends. The personal attention of the owner that makes the night very pleasant between drinks and snacks. Learning how to take and know how to drink wine changes the experience of a drink. (Original) Un super lugar, la atención de primera, pasamos una noche increíble con mi esposa y amigos. La atención personal del dueño que hace que la noche sea muy agradable entre copas y cosas para picar. Aprender como tomas y saber como tomar vino cambia la experiencia de una copa.

  • 5/5 Ernando T. 5 years ago on Google
    Secret Wine Door is a MUST go if you are visiting Paris. I went with my wife and we had a very enjoy full evening. At first we were a bit sceptical because it is a new place, but we were pleased to exceed all our expectations. We tasted the best wine and cheese in a very charming place and with great people. And what to say about Erwan, he is a plus to Secret Wine Doors. He has a lot of knowledge in French wine, and his lifes experiences are just amazing! I totally recommend this place! If your are a wine lover you will be amazed and if you are not, I guarantee you will become one! I hope you keep up with this great place because we are coming back! Cheers!

  • 5/5 Natalie K. 5 years ago on Google
    I had the best evening learning about French wines from Erwan - he's super knowledgeable and I learnt lots that I've never been taught on previous wine tastings. The main positive for me is that it never felt boring or slow, the pace of the evening was perfect, with plenty of fantastic French wine paired beautifully with delicious cheeses. I'll definitely be booking again!

  • 5/5 Iam Joy C. 3 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Erwan was wonderful! He made the experience amazing! He is truly knowledgeable of the wines and cheese and also friendly. My husband and I had an amazing time and are so thankful we did this wine and cheese tour. It was truly delicious. He gives good amounts of the wine and cheese! So thankful! You will be glad you did it!

  • 5/5 Anna E S. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    My colleagues and I spent some of our free time on a work trip to Paris with Erwan at his Wine & Cheese tasting. It was just what we needed during a stressful week! Erwan is friendly and warm and makes wine approachable. We had so much fun learning more about French wine and wine culture and meeting some new friends in the small and intimate class. Highly recommend! Will be coming back the next time I'm in Paris (and letting Erwan know since he mentioned he would be sure to have all new wines and cheeses the next time)!

  • 5/5 Nasseeka D. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    I had the best time during my wine tasting at Secret Wine Door! Edwin was very kind, very knowledgeable, and helped us all leave more aware of how to choose the best wine. When you’re in Paris, please stop by and have this experience.

  • 5/5 Joel N. 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Great experience for learning about French wines, lovely little place designed for small groups which makes the experience even better. Erwan made us feel real confortable and was easy to talk to. Booking was super easy through the website. You won't be dissapointed. I would repeat when I come back to Paris. Enjoy!
