This is one of the best wine tastings I have ever attended. He was friendly, very knowledgeable, and had a wonderful sense of humor. There were 17 in the whole group, and everyone had a wonderful time. We talked among each other. The wine was absolutely delicious. The cheese was wonderful. Couldn’t think of a more wonderful place to learn about wine.

We had a fabulous time learning about wine with the owner of the Secret Door, Erwan. There were 13 people in our “class” which made the small space packed. Erwan is delightful and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about French wine which was helpful for buying wine while in Paris. It’s a different wine world in France and he prepared us! I highly recommended this lesson!
From beginning to end this was a wonderful experience. Having little knowledge of wine other than enjoying it, I learned quite a bit about French wine. The pairings with cheese made the event even better. I highly recommend this tasting event for anyone in Paris looking to have fun and learn a little about French wine.
What a fun afternoon! We found the secret door right next to the Le Butter shop in the 15th arrondissement. When we arrived, we were greeted by Erwan at the front door. He was knowledgeable & friendly and the wine and cheese were delicious. The 2 hour class just flew by! It’s a must when visiting Paris. And don’t forget to visit the butter shop too!
Wow—what an experience at Secret Wine Door! We learned so much about the different wine regions of France, how to properly order wine at restaurants, and so many little things we never would have known on our own. The owner’s knowledge was incredible, but what really made it special was how much fun he made the entire experience. We learned, laughed, and drank some great wine along the way. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Paris!
I had an absolutely wonderful experience at the French Wine, Champagne & Cheese Tasting at Secret Wine Door in Paris! 🍷🥂🧀 The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the tasting was a fantastic way to discover French wines and learn more about the different regions and traditions. The Champagne and wine selections were excellent, and the cheeses paired beautifully with them. Our host was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, making the experience both informative and fun without feeling overly formal. We learned a lot while enjoying some truly delicious French wines and cheeses. If you’re visiting Paris and love wine, Champagne, or simply want a unique and authentic French experience, I highly recommend this tasting. It was one of the highlights of our time in Paris and something we’ll definitely remember! 🇫🇷❤️
Great experience!! Owner was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. One of the best tour/experiences we have ever done. Highly recommended!!!
Absolutely fantastic experience! I had so much fun at the Secret Wine Door tasting — I enjoyed every single second. The cheeses were incredibly fresh and delicious, and the wine 🍷 was truly amazing. The host was extremely knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. It was engaging, fun, and unforgettable. Highly recommend!
One of the best experiences I’ve had for a wine tasting. I got To taste 6 very different wines and cheeses that opened my eyes to new flavor profiles. There is an art to drinking wine and actually enjoying all the flavors.
Excellent and low key experience with a fabulous host who created an interactive discussion on wine and cheese. This would appeal to beginner to advanced wine drinkers.
My Sister and I did the wine tasting and enjoyed it very much! The host was very welcoming, the wines and cheeses were great and the group experience as a whole was very charming. I would definitely recommend this for experienced wine lovers and beginners alike!
What a wonderful experience! We had an excellent time. It was very informative, but also fun and casual all at the same time. The wine was fantastic, and we enjoyed the cheese pairing! We even got to order wine to ship home. I would highly recommend this. We were tempted to go again on our trip it was so fun!
The entire family had a great experience (parents and two grown children). The guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining! Would highly recommend!!
My partner and I had such a great experience wine and cheese tasting. I would definitely highly recommend this experience.
Our host, Erewon, was gracious and kind and welcoming. We had a range of people who had from no knowledge to winery experts from Napa in the event and he accommodated everyone, answering questions and keeping the air lively and open. I love that we could experience the wine and cheese pairings (with guidance about what to pay attention to) as they came to us, without the pretentious attitude I’ve sometimes seen around wine tastings.
Fabulous cheese and wine tasting. The pairings of cheese and wine were delicious, and the selected wines were all excellent. Erwan is very knowledgeable and I learned a lot from him. Definitely a worthwhile experience.
Fabulous cheese and wine tasting. The pairings of cheese and wine were delicious, and the selected wines were all excellent. Erwin is very knowledgeable and I learned a lot from him. Definitely a worthwhile experience.
The sommelier was very knowledgeable, nice, accommodating, and personable. The wine pours were generous as was the cheese and French bread. My daughter and I really enjoyed it, had a great time, and would definitely recommend it to someone with no knowledge of wine to someone with a lot of knowledge.
Excellent! I would highly recommend. I learned a lot about French wine and cheese. Great experience and you meet very nice people who are traveling to Paris from all over.
From start to finish we felt right at home! The host greeted us with a warm smile and got to know everyone in the room in just a couple of hours! We learned so much about the wine regions of France having fun along the way and meeting other guests from around the globe! Book the tasting you’ll be so happy you did!
Very good wines and cheeses on the menu. The owner had extensive knowledge about wines and cheeses and the pairing of them. The patrons were a pleasant company as well, even if quite a few of them were US citizens.
Not at all pretentious, very informative, excellent choice of wines between 25 and 50 euros and we had lots of laughs.
This was by far one of our most enjoyable and memorable time with Erwan. Loved the wine, cheese and the learning involved. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely return. Santé !
We had such a great experience at this wine and cheese pairing class and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting! It was not only fun, but incredibly informative. I’d especially recommend doing this early in your trip, it completely changed how I approached ordering wine for the rest of my time here and made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Such a highlight of my trip!
It was fabulous! Loved, loved, loved it!!! Good wine tasting, paired with tasty cheeses! Learned a lot! Great group!
Being a novice to French wine, but not wine in general, this a nice introduction and fun as well. Erwan does a great job of explaining the basics for wine drinkers of every level while making it entertaining and not pedantic. The cheeses was amazing as well! It is also very close to the Eiffel Tower so plan to buy a bottle wine and some cheese and head over there afterward.
This was a wonderful 2 hours, beautiful wines, lovely cheeses and a fantastic host. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Paris. When my son comes of age we will definitely bring him here.
The sommelier was very knowledgeable and made the experience a fun. Extremely friendly. Great wines and has a selection of wines that you can purchase after the tasting. I bought a few take home with me.
The host was well versed in the various wines and how well it was paired with various cheeses. If you are unfamiliar with French wines and some of the cheese offerings of the various regions, it is a great introduction.
Very generous wine and cheese tasting, very sympathetic, knowledgeable and accessible host. Thank you!
Erwan is knowledgeable and passionate about wine and a fun and articulate host.
You learn som much, it's fun and you get to taste so good wine and cheeses. We had the best time and want to do it again.
It was perfect, if you have experience or not you should go. The host was welcoming and nice, wine was superb, what more could you ask for
While I must admit I’m not normally much of a wine guy, I would tell anyone I know they would have to do this tasting if they were visiting Paris. The atmosphere was amazing and friendly, the wine was some of the best I’d ever had, and the cheeses were exquisite and really brought out the flavors in the wine.
by far my favorite thing we did in Paris! it was amazing to learn so much about wines, pairings and how to properly taste without it feeling solely educational. he was so funny and so knowledgeable about everything, the time flew by. if you’re thinking about booking it please do!! by far my favorite thing we did while here
The best wine tasting we’ve been to in a long time. Erwan is down to earth, knowledgeable and provided great tips not only about the French wines but wine handling, storing etc in a small intimate space. A great afternoon and now a new network of friends from the event. Thank you, would highly recommend this on anyone’s Paris list whether a beginner or a connoisseur.
Very highly recommend! Delicious cheese wine and bread! Great learning experience and super fun! U need to Go asap!
We had the best time!! Fantastic wine and cheese, Erwan was very educated and we learned so much about wine - how to identify flavor notes, how to test acidity, and where different wines are from. 10/10 recommend!! Small group was great. You will leave full of food and tipsy :)
this wine tasting was fantastic not only was the wine and cheese excellent but the host is fabulous. Learn so much about French wine and cheese. Ordered something to even bring home.!
What a time we had! I would 100% recommend this wine & cheese tasting whilst in Paris. The wine selected for us were so good and also the cheese was a great touch. This didn’t feel like a classroom or formal learning activity it was very casual and done perfectly.
A great experience with terrific cheese and wine. I learned a lot too! The host was friendly and easygoing and very knowledgeable. Merci!
Excellent choice in wine and local French cheeses with an outstanding, informal presentation filled with great information from a well-versed sommelier. Wonderful way to spend 2 hours in Paris. Highly recommend!
What a great way to spend an afternoon in Paris. Lovely relaxed location, excellent host. Learned about wine, drank wine, ate cheese - all in good company. Loved it.
We had the most amazing experience! Learned so much but also had so much fun. Great atmosphere, yummy cheese, and delicious wine. Highly recommend to everyone!!
Wonderful experience, learned a lot and it didn’t feel like being lectured! The wine and cheese were awesome! Definitely recommend!
We had an awesome wine and cheese tasting with Ewan at Secret Wine Door, along with about a dozen others whose wine experience ranged from almost nil to expert. It was fun and informative without feeling like “school”. Ewan was engaging and helpful, including before the tasting when he fit in one more of us, even though the tasting was marked as full. Learned a lot about wine and cheese, and a bit about Paris culture (buying bread 4 times a day; what!?!), and had a great time doing it. Highly recommended.
Erwin is very knowledgeable and explained things in an understandable way. Taught us much about what to look for when ordering a wine and the difference between French wines and others. It was a fun and delicious experience. I’d highly recommend to others.
It was a phenomenal experience!! Loved it all. Erwin, the host, was funny and fun and welcoming and so very knowledgeable. I can’t eat unpasteurized cheese so he called his wife to go to cheese store to get me cheese I can eat. She arrived in minutes. They both went over and above. So thoughtful and wonderful of him. Would highly recommend this experience and will definitely go again the next time we are in Paris. Thank you!
This was a nice intimate setting with excellent information regarding French wines and cheese Thierry was very knowledgeable and was an exceptional presenter Learned a lot and had great wine and cheese Highly recommend it
We had the most incredible experience at The Secret Wine Door with Erwan Leo. He is by far the most knowledgeable wine expert we have ever met. His passion for French wines is unmatched, and he shared his expertise with such warmth and enthusiasm that it made the entire afternoon truly delightful. This was so much more than a tasting- it was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
