Marc and Louise take the time to understand your wine likes and dislikes and can always recomment the perfect bottle for whatever occassion you need. We belong to their wine club and always receive truly special wines. Their Friday night wine tastings, paired with their incredibly wonderful cheeses and other goodies are the best way to begin the weekend and we've learned so much about the wines offered by attending these events. Pros: Selection, food, ambience, friendliness of proprietors. Cons: Sometimes a really good "find" has limited availability.

We have been attending wine tastings at La Maison Gourmet for a few years now. Each tasting event is a delicious pairing of wines and cheeses. The hosts, Mark and Louise, are always available to answer questions about food pairings, as well as suggesting particularly extraordinary wines. Their shop carries beautiful giftware and specialty gourmet items. We always love to attend their tastings on the patio overlooking the lake. Pros: Best wine tasting experience in Orange County

Mark and Louise take time to learn your likes and dislikes, and frequently suggest other wines to try. I have always been a creature of habit, staying with only a few varieties. Now, I rarely have the same bottle more than once!! And they are experts at pairing the wine with great cheeses and meats. There is nothing better than to sit on their patio over-looking the lake, and enjoying a great bottle of wine. Everyone needs to attend a Friday night wine tasting... you will have a great time and learn a lot. Pros: Best personalized service around

My wife & I drive from Anaheim Hills to Mission Viejo Lake to enjoy the ambiance and personal attention given by the owners. Marc has never missed when recommending a wine to us. Give Marc an idea what you like in a wine and he can get it right every time. We take and meet friends for their wine tastings that often include the wine makers and/or owners of well know wineries. Their deli of cheeses salads and pates adds to La Maison as a great all around experience. Pros: Personal Attention and vast knowlege of Wines

The lakefront terrace is an ideal spot for sipping wine and sampling La Maison gourmet's abundant specialty meats and cheeses served attractively on a platter with fruits and nuts. Their specialty is the best tasting, hard-to-find low production wines in all price ranges. My favorite is their Pate`. Marc and Louise are perfectionists at carrying the best quality. Try their Winemaker Friday Night tastings. Pros: Outdoor Terrace with Parnoramic Lake View Cons: It will take several trips to try everything.
