My favorite wine (and food!) shop the world over! The selection of fine vintages and delicious eats is outstanding. And the service from Pram & Suzanne is over the top! Do yourself a favor and make sure you put Esperance on your list of places to stop by when you are Up North.

What a great store! If you like gourmet foods and wines, this is the place for you. They had so many hard to find things like truffles, small maker European cheeses and wine galore!

Pram and his wife, Susan, are amazing! The pre-fix dinners they host in the summer are a real treat.

Dinner was incredible, including the service, and the shop itself is always fantastic. Esperance is always a highlight of visiting Charlevoix.

Lovely gourmet food and wine shop and cafe. The cafe has wonderful food and service in a nice outside space, but does have limited availability. The shop has a good selection of wines, yummy cheeses, and a variety of other specialty foods (and chocolates). Highly recommend!

I can't say anything bad about this place. We drove by it, turned around and went back just to check it out and the owner let us in even though they weren't really open. He warned us he had a private client coming in and asked us NOT to touch anything. That is PERFECT in my book. BE SAFE! We only had a few minutes but WOW great selection of French Champagne and Wine. We grabbed a quick bottle of French Bordeaux and some awesome Blue Cheese (also from France) and left.
I'm glad and sad I don't live closer to this place.

I stopped in for the wine, but return regularly for the dinner. This is one of the most memorable and enjoyable meals you will have. Pram is an amazing host, and will help you select your bottles prior to arrival, which is nice when we start with a white variety. The top restaurant in Northern Michigan, period! Wish they were located in Cincinnati!

We had the tasting menu on a Wednesday night at Esperance and everything was amazing. They converted the parking lot into an elegant dining area, with well appointed tables and very comfortable cushioned chairs. Their wine list is extensive and the owner is extremely knowledgeable about wine varieties. The prix fixe dinner started with quail egg 🥚 and a Persian salad with chives, parsley, cucumbers and tomatoes. After this first course came prosciutto salad with melon and arugula. The ricotta stuffed ravioli came after with grated Parmesan and artichoke. The steak 🥩 was perfect with fois gras and mashed potatoes, zucchini and sun dried tomatoes. Dessert was sweet corn 🌽 ice cream with biscotti, and grilled peach 🍑. Highly recommend, an excellent restaurant for you to enjoy 😊

Owner is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The place is beautiful. He stayed late to show me a few wines, and I will be returning.
