About Us

Welcome to Philippe’s Wine Cellar, Lafayette’s premier destination for exceptional wines, expert guidance, and a truly personalized shopping experience. Nestled in the Park Shopping Center, our boutique wine shop is more than just a store—it’s a gathering place for wine lovers of all levels, from curious beginners to seasoned collectors.

 

A Legacy of Fine Wine Since 1999

For over 25 years, Philippe’s Wine Cellar has been Lafayette’s premier destination for exceptional wines and expert guidance. Founded in 1999 by Philippe, a dedicated sommelier, the store has built a reputation for offering a world-class selection of wines while maintaining a warm, welcoming atmosphere. 

 

Philippe’s passion for wine and deep industry knowledge have shaped the store into more than just a retail shop—it’s a place where wine lovers gather, learn, and discover. From sourcing rare allocations to sharing stories of vineyards and vintages, Philippe has created a space where customers feel inspired and confident in their wine choices. 

 

Philippe’s Enduring Influence

As Philippe transitions into a mentorship role, his legacy and expertise remain central to the store. He continues to guide the next generation, particularly Miki, our store manager and in-house sommelier, ensuring that the high standards of service and wine curation he established continue. 

 

Philippe will continue to source rare wines, lead special tastings, and work with VIP customers, ensuring that his philosophy of education, discovery, and passion for wine lives on. His relationships with winemakers, importers, and collectors around the world continue to bring exclusive selections to our customers.
