Sutter Creek Cheese Shoppe

Great cheese selection where you can try everything they have. We have visited before and this time were really happy to find out they have added wine and cheese tasting as well. We couldn’t keep our cheese so they saved it for us overnight. A great place to visit and pick up some snacks for a wine picnic!

Horrible customer service. Would not give samples to me and my friends since we were in our early 20s. But as soon as older people walk in they get 5 star service. Was going to make a large purchase for our picnic at a local winery but was not able due to written off by age. Will not be returning.

Amazing cheese shop. Great variety and nice suggestions from the owners. A must stop when you’re in Sutter Creek. Now with a wine tasting bar in the same shop and help pairing just the right cheese.

We stop in Sutter Creek from time to time and always have to make a stop in here. I mean after all who doesnt love cheese??? We’ve always been greeted warmly and enjoy being able to try different cheeses before buying. They have a great selection and its also nice to get a few cheeses to take home with all the wine you’ll be buying when you continue to walk down the street lol.

Cool place. Great selection of some very different cheeses. I actually got sidetracked reading a book they had about cheese and another about beer. Fascinating stuff! The people working there were extremely nice too.

Some days you gotta eat your feelings. And some days those feelings consist of a La Brea sourdough baguette, a package of La Quercia applewood smoked prosciutto, and a giant wedge of Sartori raspberry cheese. They may or may not also include nibbles of your dining companion’s Ford Farm Wensleydale with cranberries.
The Sutter Creek Cheese Shoppe is located toward the end of Main Street in the historic downtown district. It smells a bit funny inside, but the employees are welcoming and you can’t go wrong with free samples!
There were so many cheeses, cookies, crackers, spreads, and wines from which to choose that I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted. I almost left empty handed, but the girl who helped us suggested a mild white cheddar, and that’s how I became acquainted with BellaVitano. The cheese was so tasty that we decided to skip a restaurant and have a little picnic on their patio.
With the help of my mother’s Swiss Army Knife I was able to open up my speck americano and the sealed cheese. I broke bread with my hands and layered on the meat. I’d been craving a simple, European-​style sandwich for forever and this hit the spot.
I didn’t even bother to slice the cheese. I just took a bite of my carbs and protein and then topped it off with a mouthful of cheese straight from the block. An elderly man approached me while eating and jokingly (I think) said «You shouldn’t do that. It’s not healthy. We’ve all been there.» … Sir, I don’t give a shit.
After eating much more than I should have, I tottered up to Miller Wine Works for some samples and was happy to find that the tasting fee isn’t just waived if you buy a bottle, they also comp the sippy cups if you’re a patron of the cheese.

My family recently bought a cabin in Sutter Creek less than a few miles away from the downtown, so it was more or less fate that I stumbled upon this place. I could easily eat cheese all day (and am regularly tempted to eat a 90% diet of only cheese — if only it weren’t for those pesky side effects) so when we walked into this store after several recommendations from tasting rooms down the street I knew I was in my own personal heaven.
The people at Sutter Creek Cheese Shoppe seem to Caerphilly (
) select the best hand crafted & artisan cheeses that are sure to wow even the most discerning palates.
They offer dozens of samples and you can pick the brain of whoever is standing behind the counter and you’ll be sure to snag a wedge of something you’ll love.
If you’re already in the Sutter Creek area, make a pit stop at the Cheese Shoppe, I highly doubt you’ll re-‘grate’ it.
