Sip, Savor, and Discover: The Secret Wine Bar Experience

Discover a hidden gem in South San Francisco: the Secret Wine Bar @ San Francisco Wine School.  We're wine geeks, not snobs and we love to entertain!  So this year, we've decided to share our passion for fun and unique wines with our local community in a casual wine bar setting on a regular basis!  

New Wines Each Week

At any given time, we have hundreds of different wine selections from all nooks and crannies of the planet in our curriculum and even more in our cellar just waiting for their moment to shine.  This exclusive concept offers an ever-changing selection of these exceptional wines, curated by Master Sommelier David Glancy. 

A new theme each month will include familiar grapes and regions of course, but you'll also find many you've never tried and others you've probably never even heard of.  We'll also feature some rare and limited pours—available only while they last.  Some good ol' classic varietals, special beer and cider, and Low/No Alcohol beverages we love will always be available too.  Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just dipping your toes into the world of fine beverage, this intimate setting is the perfect place to relax, sip, and connect. 

A Word About Our House Wines

At the Secret Wine Bar, our House Wines aren’t some basement bargain hum drum swill.  Our House Wines are hidden gems.  In fact, they’re the everyday wines our owners, David Glancy and Kristin Campbell regularly stock AT THEIR HOUSE.  These guys have tasted thousands of wines over the years and their House Wines stand out as delicious crowd pleasers that easily pair with lots of foods and won’t break the bank.  Come check ‘em out!

Where There's Wine There's Food

Pair your wine with our expertly crafted Nosh Boards carefully designed to complement each theme we select. These delectable boards feature international cheeses and charcuterie, homemade dips, spreads, jams, roasted nuts, pickled veggies, and more.  They're perfect for sharing (or savoring solo).

Enjoy Your Hosts

Each night will be hosted by one of San Francisco Wine School's industry leading instructors and experienced sommeliers, so it's a perfect time to ask questions about the wines or our classes, memberships, and event offerings.  You can bet that San Francisco Wine School founder, Master Sommelier David Glancy, himself will be making plenty of appearances.  Keep your eye out for our special guests throughout the year too! 

Bring Some Home

This Month's Theme

May Theme - Judgement Of Paris

What happens when the underdog rewrites the rules?

This May at Secret Wine Bar, we’re raising a glass to the 50th anniversary of the Judgment of Paris - the moment California wines shocked the world and forever changed the global wine conversation.

Each week, we’ll feature side-by-side pours inspired by that legendary tasting, highlighting both French classics and their California counterparts.

Because wine isn’t just about tradition. It’s about disruption, discovery, and the courage to challenge expectations.

Same grapes. Different reputations. One unforgettable showdown.

Special Events

5/2 - Karaoke

Get ready to sip, sing, and maybe surprise yourself - Karaoke Night is taking over the Secret Wine Bar on May 2 from 6:00–9:00 PM!

Whether you're a seasoned performer or a “just one glass and I’m in” kind of singer, this is your moment. Step up to the mic, cheer on your friends, and enjoy a laid-back evening where great wine meets great (and occasionally questionable) vocals.

No sign-ups needed - just show up, grab a glass, and jump in when inspiration strikes. Solo acts, duets, full-on group numbers, all welcome.

Come for the wine, stay for the encore.

5/9 - Jazz With Matt Bae Duo 6-8p

Ease into your evening with the smooth sounds of live jazz at the Secret Wine Bar on May 9 from 6:00–8:00 PM, featuring the Matt Bae Duo.

Settle in with a glass of wine as rich melodies and laid-back rhythms create the perfect backdrop for conversation, connection, or simply unwinding at the end of the week.

No tickets, no pressure, just good music, good wine, and a space to enjoy both at your own pace.

Come for the vibe, stay for the groove.

5/23 - Judgement of Paris Dinner 6:30-8:00

Join us on May 23 for a special ticketed pop-up dinner at the Secret Wine Bar as we bring the legendary Judgment of Paris to life. This immersive, highly exclusive evening will be curated and led by Master Sommelier David Glancy, who will guide you through a thoughtfully designed multi-course menu paired with wines inspired by both sides of that iconic showdown. Taste, compare, and challenge your own assumptions as you experience the story, the stakes, and the legacy behind every glass - an unforgettable night for anyone who loves wine and a little bit of history in every sip. Reserve your seats now!

5/30 - Book Club 6p

Pour a glass and join us on May 30 for Book Club Night at the Secret Wine Bar as we dive into 99 Bottles: A Black Sheep’s Guide to Life-Changing Wines by André Hueston Mack.

Part memoir, part wine guide, this book brings a fresh, unfiltered voice to the world of wine - perfect for sparking conversation, sharing perspectives, and maybe discovering a new favorite bottle along the way.

Come ready to chat, sip, and connect. No pop quiz, no pressure - just good wine and even better conversation.
