Farmstead Cheeses and Wines was founded in 2003 to provide quality wines and artisan cheeses in a convivial and educational setting.

Since that time, we've become a destination for Bay Area foodies and have been named Best Cheese Store and Best Wine Store by several East Bay publications.

Relax, it’s just food” is more than just our motto - it’s how we approach the often intimidating process of selecting great cheeses and wines with and for our customers. 

We hate food and wine snobs as much as you do, but that won’t stop us from finding under the radar and hard-to-find wines and perfectly presented artisan cheeses.
