 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.
