Saw this wine bar from the side of the road one day and looked it up on yelp. Purposefully came in today to sample a tasting while killing some time. Happy I did, the aesthetics are very modern, warm and welcoming. The staff was very friendly and seemed like a well oiled family, coexisting through life together. They change up their tasting menu's often, so you never know what you'll be experiencing. Today featured Spanish wines from Celler De Roure. The experience was pleasing with the wine being displayed in top notch Spiegelau wine glasses. It definitely elevated the experience. In the end I was drawn to a glass of the B True Napa Valley Cab Sav. It was very lovely to the pallet and hit all the right notes. Thank you for a relaxing afternoon. read more

Sooooooo cool. I've always wanted to try this place but could never remember where they relocated! Finally a good friend of mine took me here for birthday wine and I am so glad she did! Wonderful people working there and the store is super cute. Delicious wine and they are so knowledgeable and will help u find the best wine for your pallet and wallet! read more

Had the best time wine tasting at this super quaint fine wine boutique shop. I had no idea what it would be like when I booked it for a birthday afternoon, but we had so much fun. Naquan was a fantastic host and wine specialist, he was really knowledgeable about the wines, and very passionate about what he does. It's a tiny venue, no more than 8 people can really fit in here unless you choose to use their outside space. We had 7 inside and it was perfect. They allow you to bring in outside food as they don't serve any. Go across to the salted melon market if you want to get something. I had emailed them earlier to ask about the wine tasting and book it and they were very cool about letting me select what I wanted to be in the tasting. He picked some great wines, we really enjoyed them. They have fantastic glasses too! They have a great variety available for sake, with prices ranging from affordable to very high end! It was a really nice classy affair, and I would most certainly do this again, reasonable prices, $45 plus tax and tip per person. Perfect fun Sunday afternoon. read more

Phenomenal wine bar! I go to the South End location and the man there is always so kind and incredibly knowledgable. He walks you through each wine perfectly. Their wine tastings change weekly and are so fun to sit and just talk wine. You gotta go! read more

Very pleasant tasting. Great atmosphere and convenient parking lot behind building. One handicap spot in small front lot otherwise requires steps if parking in back lot. Kind of expensive at $28 for tasting of 4 wines. We were celebrating a birthday so it was a special occasion. read more

My boyfriend and I loved this place!! The boat was so polite and gave us so much information about the area and the wines. We will definitely be back! read more

Most of the reviews are greater than 2 years ago I have never felt very welcomed as a customer here. The owner is not friendly except when it is time to pay. This is a great area for a wine shop to thrive if only this shop would up its game and not come across as so pretentious. Your wines are just okay.... read more

Soooo many wines choices. The employees are very knowledgeable and helpful. I've been to a few wine tastings and they are fun. Now... the chocolate shop inside petit Philippe is called 20 degrees... they have the best chocolates in Charlotte. I often pick up a mixed box and indulge. read more

Petit Philippe has a wonderful selection of wines from Oregon, California and Europe. Every price point is covered from an inexpensive "drink it tonight" wine to something you'd like to save for a special occasion. Alex, Jeremie and Naquan are great at asking what you would like or what you are pairing and offering suggestions in your budget. The chocolates are very good and many of them are gluten-free so they make great gifts! If you are passionate about wine or want to learn more - check out this local business. read more

Ooh la la loved!!!! What's better than wine & chocolate??? Nothing I can think of. And it's all right here. In a lovely setting made to sit back , relax and savor. Very extensive selection of both wine and chocolate. Creative flavor combos on the chocolate, very well thought out because they really pair well with the wines. I was on vaca so I wanted something special, I got a Spanish sparkling rose and a pink champagne ganache & a black forest ganache, both went beautifully with the wine. A really special place, nice service, real attention to detail in the way the chocolates are decorated to the total atmosphere overall. I'd love to go back when I'm in town again. read more

Artisan-made chocolate created using quality ingredients in flavors such as sweet heat (mango w habanero pepper), strawberry balsamic, and at least 8 more varieties available everyday. Wine. An entire wall of reds and whites that all scream "I'm delicious - believe it." You can buy by the glass, by the bottle, or do a flight of a trio (3 3 oz glasses). There is ample free parking, cozy seating, apropos music (mostly Italian and classical). Delectable! read more

Updating my review for Petit Phillipe. Since my last review about 2 years ago, I have fallen even more in love with this place!! Everyone is so friendly and knowledgable! Make sure to get on their email list. Each week they send out the winery they are featuring in the flight for the week. They explain the winery, owner, story, and type of wines. Additionally they give the breakdown of the wine flight. We almost always do the wine flight. Additionally they send out wine dinners all the time. They usually partner with Lumiere. We are actually signed up for one next week!! This place continues to be on one of my top favorite places in the city list. Awesome local owners that really care about giving you a great wine experience! read more

The truffles are amazing! I can't wait to go back and try some wine too! Very friendly staff. Nice spot.

Made a stop in here on a door-to-door tour of all the new spots that just opened in this mixed-use development. It was cold and rainy out, but the owner quickly welcomed the wife and I in with a glass of wine and a personal introduction to his business. While things are still settling in, there will be a small amount of seating around the front, but the real draw is the bar that swings around almost the length of the shoppe. There is a large black board behind the bar that describes that day's wine pourings and offers specials on other wines to be found on the shelves which line the length of the back wall. I'll get to the wine in a minute, because I can't go on any longer without talking about the chocolate truffles, found in a glass case in the center of the bar. On our visit, there were about 12-15 different chocolate truffles, dark and milk chocolate, covering all kinds of wonderful ganache centers- I was especially fond of the blood orange and caramel with sea salt. They are all made-house. I will be back to try the coffees, the teas, and the pure Peruvian dark chocolates. If you're lucky, there might be a few samples on top of the bar. Try at your own risk, 'cause then you'll want more! Purchases come in nicely designed clear little boxes and are handled with a white glove- talk about respecting the chocolate! Each truffle has it's own delicate design and you can mix and match as you like. Hey fellas- drop the mass-made Godiva and impress your lady friend with a box of these- they'll step up your game! Now for the wine. If you've seen my other reviews, you know I'm pretty much into wines- especially Spanish and California reds. Well, Petit Phillippe's name is most ironic because their wine selections are monstrously bold and good. Small production wineries can be found among a few larger, but well-chosen, producers. What is apparent is the thought and effort that went into selecting their offerings. A good few varietals are present- pinot, merlot, cab, grenache, etc. But each wine they sell is there with a purpose- nothing just to try and move a bottle out the door. The owner and his staff are knowledgable and can steer you towards whatever your occasion or palette best calls for for. On our visit, the wine pouring was limited to about six bottles that appeared to be served and priced as a flight. I think it was Oregon vs. California pinot noirs. Interesting. Had it not been lunch time, I'd have bought in. I think this will change weekly, if not more often, so here's another e-mail list to get yourself onto to find some new and good stuff. They are also working on a reserve room for still more, high-end wines. On our visit, this was unfinished and it seems the contractor and the subs were fighting over who was at fault. We were assured this would get finished, and I don't doubt it because they need the shelf space! I'm excited to have found Petit Phillippe and think it's got a good thing going- smart wine and gourmet chocolate. Definitely a stop for date night or just about anytime you want to treat yourself. read more

For wine knowledge and a lovely tasting room, Petit Philippe is indeed, as good as it gets. Since I do love me some great prosecco and an occasional glass of Pinot Noir, I was positively blown away by the experts, concept and selection at Petit Philippe. I've been twice now and sampled a smattering of wine and Casey's stunning chocolates. Sometimes when I walk into a tasting room it seems intimidating. Since I don't spend hours every week learning about wine, I frankly don't have the vocabulary or insight to know what I'm looking for all the time. But both Mark & Dylan at Petit Philippe are there to remedy that issue. Their laid back and friendly demeanors pair perfectly with their intense knowledge of wine. Plus, they specialize in bringing in smaller scale wines that you'll probably not find elsewhere. Price wise, you'll find a nice range here - from affordable to supreme. And, the chocolate, oh my oh my. Listen, Casey creates all of them in house, so they aren't cheap ($2/each). You get what you pay for, guys, these chocolates are so special. My fave thus far is a three way tie between the salted caramel, the strawberry balsamic and the scotch chocolate (made specially for their Valentine's Day man box). Thanks for hosting a few of us yelpers at Petit Philippe for a gorgeous tasting - so impressed! read more

I ventured in Petit Philippe for my weekly On the Road story that airs on WBTV. I have to say I like chocolate a lot, but I've been turned off by the typical Hershey, Godiva, and Lindt bars and truffles. There's nothing special about those chocolates. When I tasted Casey Hickey's collection of deliciousness I was immediately lifted up to a chocolate high. These chocolates are different than any I've ever tried. The texture, the taste, the original flavors are all worth the trek. It cured my chocolate rut. The wine selection is diverse and also affordable. They have wines in each price point so no one is excluded. Mark is so knowledgeable about each wine and what it will pair well with. You will walk out learning a lot. One thing I love is that they specialize in wine from smaller, boutique vineyards. They feel it provides a more intimate wine with a little extra TLC in each glass. The decor is trendy, modern, and completely appealing. It's a perfect spot for a girls night out, a date night, or just a relaxing afternoon alone. It's a must try. I will be returning in my off work hours for sure. read more

I think this wine store would be pretty average if not for the attentive owners always on site and eager to help you find something delicious. I have been back a couple of times and they are always so helpful. Plenty of wine stores can impress you with how much they know about wine (specifically, more than you) but it takes real charisma to turn that esoteric knowledge into solid and welcome advice. That's what I get here - people who listen to what I like, ask a few probing questions, and give me something wonderful to try. That is all you could ask for. But it is not all they offer. There are also the chocolates, made on the premises. The assortment of flavors sounds insane (strawberry and balsamic?!) but they were incredible. Their price tag reflects this, but at $2 each they would make a great gift to a local-foodie-type or to a simple admirer of chocolate. read more

Chocolate Vault meets Laboratory de Vino. Tons of steel, clean, modern lines. Well lit without being garish. Racks and racks of gleaming glass. I know this sounds intimidating - but it somehow isn't. Which could be the staff (read:owners), or the pricing (not as insane as you'd expect), or the chalkboard. Whatever it is, I had a thoroughly enjoyable time tasting bubbles, and unbubbles, and some seriously killer chocolates (fav: strawberry balsamic, by a hair). Even though I lean more towards cheese with wine (and more towards beer, in general), I learned a ton and had a grand, pampery couple of hours with the sweet kids at Petit Philippe. The question is, would I return? For a special prezzie for a food nerd really into chocolate, yup. And for a well-priced bottle of Prosecco, or a small-batch Cab Sauv when I feel like making a special trip, for certain. Keeping places like PP alive is about making the effort - yes, we know you can grab decent vino at the Peeter but carve an extra 10 minutes out of your pre-dinner-party schedule and let the boys at Phillipe help you find the bottle you need. You won't regret it. read more

I really enjoyed my recent experience at Petit Philippe. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Tell them what you want to eat and they'll help with a wine. And by help, I mean ask you what sauces you cook with; spices; sides dishes, etc. Helpful is an understatement. I went with a Proseco and a Pinot Noir as well as...wait for it...scotch chocolate. Chocolate infused with scotch...so good. It's called the "Highlander", so make sure to ask for it if you enjoy scotch as much as I do. Great addition to the Selwyn Ave area. A definite stop if I'm getting some fresh fish or meat from the two markets near by in walking distance. They specialize in the smaller manufactures which is nice, though they can get anything for you if you ask. My new favorite wine shop :) read more

This place is dangerous. And I mean that in the best way. It's the type of dangerous where you walk in and you say to yourself, "I'm only going to *taste* the wine" and then end up buying the bottle. The type of dangerous where you say "I am going to devour these chocolates" but you can't because you they're too rich and well-crafted to put a whole one in your mouth. The ambiance reflects the owners' passion for both chocolate and wine, as there is equal importance placed on both. I felt like I was being helped out by a Sommelier who moonlit as a chocolate connoisseur (thanks for helping me spell that, google). Everything was explained perfectly to us, the prices were more than reasonable for the amount of craftsmanship in the product, and I cannot wait to go back. read more

When someone has a strong passion, you can see it reflected in their work. This is what crossed my mind during my Wife and my first visit to Petit Philippe. We stopped in for a pre-dinner drink since we live close-by. While talking with Tim, the manager working that night, I enjoyed our conversations about wine and was blown away with his thorough knowledge of the wine selection currently in the shop. The owner, Mike, specializes in sourcing wines from micro production wineries in both France and California. Don't be afraid to engage in a little discussion with anyone in the store, as they can help point you in the right direction based on your tastes. I also noticed that while the wine bottles had a range of pricing, overall I found them to be very reasonable. We settled on a syrah blend which we opened and enjoyed in the shop. As you can tell from the other reviews, they also have chocolates which they make onsite. Having a sweet tooth myself, we indulged and got one caramel and one french roast chocolate. They were exquisite, and I hope to try the Highlander in the future - a chocolate infused with scotch! One of my favorite aspects of this place was the size and atmosphere. We ended up spending a good chunk of the evening here relaxing, talking, and making friends with people around us. I really enjoyed the experience and look forward to going back for one of their specialty dinners or their carefully picked wine flights! read more

Full selection of wine and gorgeous delicious chocolate made on the premises! They are very helpful if you are looking for help picking good wine. They don't have the usual high-end wines like Cakebread Cab but give them a price range and types you like and they will help you find some great wines. The chocolate is fantastic - you can pick which size box - the pieces are a dollar a piece. They will load the box for you and give you a guide to explain which is which. Parking is in the back lot, don't park in the side lot - they have signs all over saying they will tow you!! read more

Wow! Petit Phillippe is my new favorite spot in Charlotte. It serves triple duty ... a great place to hang out with friends to enjoy wine and chocolate, a go-to place for wine advice and to grab a great bottle sure to impress, and finally - beautifully boxed handmade chocolates for any occasion. They have been most accommodating when I need to run in and run out - with a box of chocolates or a bottle of wine - and, when I've had the opportunity to actually sit and enjoy, the experience was very pleasant! The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful, the seating is comfortable, and, I've never felt rushed or out of place. Recently, my friends and I went to an early dinner and were still wanting something a little sweet to round out our night ... we selected a bottle of wine and a plate of chocolates - such variety! The woman behind the counter made a few suggestions and then offered to cut the pieces in half for us - the perfect size. I highly recommend Petit Philippe and can't wait to go back. The only downside ... the hours. They close pretty early most nights (the latest they stay open is 10 on Friday and Saturday) and aren't open at all on Sundays. read more

Wow....it takes a lot to impress me AND give a place 5 stars. Petit does both. So during the holidays I was roaming around doing the holiday thing and it was around lunch time and I happened to be near Petit Philippe so I decided to check them out. The place is an open space with tall ceilings and clean lines. There is a small vault of wines as well as multiple shelves lining the wall with wines of all makes and models *grin*. The counter is pretty much reserved for the chocolates and are presented in the most inviting manner. I discussed wines and selected a glass to try along with a few chocolates. The wine was $8 and chocolates were $1 each. The staff was very engaging and answered all my questions. They engaged in some great conversation making my experience here something of a treat. A steady flow of traffic came in and out and I sat in some comfortable chairs to the side and enjoyed my wine, chocolates and people watch. read more

This is my favorite place in Charlotte. Their wine selection is incredible - you can find something fabulous at any price point. The staff is very knowledgeable and more than willing to share their knowledge with you. Mark, the owner, is funny and approachable - makes you want to support the business even more. The chocolates are excellent and the service can't be beat. What more could you possibly want? Bonus - stop by before or after dinner with friends, there is no additional corkage fee. So if you don't want to do the nightly flight, buy a bottle, get cozy, and enjoy a great evening in the shop. read more

Excellent spot to end our date night. We sampled 6 chocolates and a glass of Pinot Noir from Napa Valley. The staff was very personable and knew their stuff about wine. Petit tries to carry exclusive wines that no one else in Charlotte carries. Laid back atmosphere. We will be back.....soon! read more

This is a perfect spot for a quiet evening enjoying company. There is seating inside and outside but be warned the seating is small and limited. The chocolates are about ~2.50ish each when we went. Absolutely amazing, I loved the selection of dark chocolates. You can buy bottles of wine there or you can buy a glass/flight and drink it there. The staff was very knowledgeable and polite. I will be coming back! read more

Fantastic selection of wine and interesting chocolates. They have wine flights. They have wine bottles for under $20. Their staff is friendly and wants to get to know its customers. Parking in the area is doable. Some small seating areas inside for people who want to stay for a while, but they also don't mind if you just stop in for a bottle before you hit the road. Great little neighborhood gem. Bonus: They have a system that tracks what wine you buy, so the next time you go in and think "gah, what was that delicious wine I had last time?" you don't end up buying the wrong pinot. read more

5 star service the chef himself helped us pick our selections accompanied with wine- super romantic hidden gem!

The knowledge and passion these people have for wine and chocolates are hard to top. They have tastings for wine and chocolates if you ask. They also sell chocolates by quantity or box, as well as wines by the bottle or glass. Very quiant place in a very nice area of Charlotte. Nice place to go for a date night before or after dinner. read more

The wife and I had just bought some fish next door at Clean Catch and decided to pop in and see what Petit Philippe had to offer. I had heard of it, but was unsure of what they were all about. Basically, it's a wine shop with some fancy, made in-house chocolates. They probably have about 20 different chocolate varieties at any given time. The manager (at least I assume he was the manager) talked to us about the concept as far as their wine selection, tastings and the story behind the chocolates. If I understood correctly, there is no corkage fee and you can drink your wine on the premises, but don't quote me on that. That seems like a cool thing to do, maybe before going to dinner in the area, or even after. From what I saw, they have a pretty good selection of mostly American and European wines. On this visit, we both some chocolates, a bourbon flavored one, a blood orange one, a fleur de sel caramel and a dark chocolate. They provided a nice dessert for our meal later in the evening. The chocolates are definitely gourmet and as a result on the pricey side, but definitely worth a treat once in a while. We will definitely return in the future. read more

Impressive chocolate! With the holidays around the corner, you'll want to pick up a box of gourmet bites for that special someone that has everything...you'll make quite an impression giving these! The presentation itself is impressive...you won't want to eat them. They are $2 each, but well worth the price! The wines are plentiful! Next time I'll need to spend a little time going through their selection and perhaps settle down to a flight. The location is wonderful on Selwyn! The store itself is lovely. It definitely feels upscale and if you walk in casual, you will feel a tad out of place. read more

Fantastic Wine & Chocolates! This is one of the best wine and chocolate stores in the Carolinas. They have top-shelf wines and fabulous wine tastings, add to it they do a fantastic job creating gift baskets, along with multiple gift baskets for companies. I would suggest them for every company in the Carolinas, that is how fantastic they are. In my opinion, Number 1 wine store in Charlotte!!! read more

What a delightful treasure this cozy and well appointed wine & chocolate shop is for Charlotte. My husband and I have enjoyed a few evenings of great wine, stimulating conversations and amazing chocolates at Petit Philippe. I would say it is the best chocolate I have tasted outside of Switzerland. This is more than a wine and chocolate shop as we have enjoyed private parties and relaxing evening. Give it a try and you will definitely be back! Bravo read more

Fantastic in all respects - Mark and the entire team have created a spot that brings is with it tremendous warmth and friendship - great wine, awesome chocolates and if you get the chance, well planned and not to be missed paired dinners and events. Highly recommended and a must for those who live close or afar read more

We came for a quick wine tasting on Valentine's. It was well worth it. The chocolate selection was fantastic and the wine was very nice as well. We had 3 half glasses of wine for $18. The selection was perfect for Valentine's and paired up nicely with the chocolate. It was nice to hear the background of the wine and the people running Petit Philippe were knowledgeable and engaged. We really enjoyed it! read more

I am all for a locally owned business- especially those where the owners are actually present. And moreso when the owners take the time to educate their customers. This was my experience at Petit P. From the leather and wood decor to the haute chocolates (little works of art on each) and small batch boutique wine selection, the owners certainly knew their Myers Park locale when they opened last December. Petit P. offers not only gourmet wine and chocolates...but most importantly, an experience. read more

Chocolates are nice- wine selection average...a great concept, not executed well. Poseur staff uninterested in anyone they aren't already familiar with. No sense of welcome or interest in our presence. A shame, but FABO next door friendly & knowledgeable with new wine finds. read more

I've been dying to get to Petit Philippe since it opened, and now I know why. The fella and I stopped in on a Saturday evening to have a drink and check it out. We were greeted immediately when we walked in, and I loved the decor - a few high-top tables, a "dining room" table for a big group and cushy chairs in the back with bottles of wine lining the walls and a glass-enclosed cellar in the front room. Everything was silver, glass, sleek and yet, still comfortable. Being new, we weren't sure if we were supposed to sit down to be waited on or go up to the counter, but I got the feeling that whatever we did would've been the right thing. The owner, Mark, came over and introduced himself and thanked us for stopping in. I told him we were newbies just stopping in for a glass of wine, and he asked what we liked. This OCD girl usually likes a good menu to choose from, but I trusted his judgment. The wine was perfect and reasonably priced ($10/glass), and I really appreciated that he took our tastes into consideration and knew exactly what to pick. We also tried a few - okay, 6 - of the chocolates, which were divine. (There was a list with descriptions for those, so I didn't have to be TOO fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants on those.) We signed up for the wine tasting email, and I'm really looking forward to see what PP has to offer. I'll definitely be back soon, and I wish we could've stayed longer when we went. read more
