This is a great place with a wonderful staff. The selection of wines and cheeses is impeccable. The service here is top-notch. Danny, the cheese purchaser, is very well informed and very nice. He picked a great wine and cheese pairing for us. When in Alameda, this will be our first stop.

This has one of the best wine selections I've come across in East Bay. It's well thought out, with great under-the-radar finds from France, Italy and Spain that don't break the bank.

Farmstead Cheese & Wines (both Montclair and Alameda) is the best. Dave?... A coolDude, extremely knowledgeable as is Danny at Alameda. Very friendly, courteous and eager to share knowledge. I have learned so much about wine (especially imported bargains) and cheese pairings.

★★★★★

I'll call it here: they have a cheese and wine selection with items that even in France would be hard to find. Really a top tier store, and excellent service too. Highly recommended.

 Common questions 

Expanded answers shown for content approval.

When are your weekly wine tastings, and do I need to make a reservation?

Our regular wine tastings are generally held on Fridays and Saturdays from 3:30–6:30 p.m. Featured wines, pricing, and special event arrangements may change, so please review the tasting calendar before visiting. Larger groups should contact the store in advance so the team can explain the options and confirm whether advance arrangements are needed.

How do I order a custom cheese and charcuterie platter?

Contact the store before your preferred pickup date with the number of guests, occasion, budget, flavor preferences, and dietary considerations. The team can suggest cheeses, cured meats, and accompaniments, then confirm availability, pickup timing, and final details. An inquiry is not a confirmed order until the store responds.

Can Farmstead help me select wine for dinner, a gift, or a larger event?

Yes. Whether you need one bottle for dinner or a broader selection for a party, wedding, corporate gift, or other event, the team can recommend wines based on your menu, preferences, occasion, and budget. Allow additional planning time for larger quantities or special requests.

What kinds of wine, cheese, and specialty foods will I find in the store?

The selection emphasizes domestic and international wines from family-owned and sustainability-minded producers, plus farmstead and artisanal cheeses. You will also find charcuterie, gourmet chocolate, tinned fish, crackers, preserves, oils, vinegars, nuts, and other pairing and pantry items. Inventory changes regularly.

Can I pick up a Farmstead wine club, cheese club, or online order here?

This store serves as a pickup location for Farmstead club orders. Pickup timing and availability can vary, so wait for your ready-for-pickup notice or contact the store before making a special trip. For online products, review the fulfillment options during checkout.

Does this store serve sandwiches?

Sandwiches are not currently offered at Alameda. They are available at the Montclair Village store Wednesday through Sunday; selection and availability may change.
