About Petaluma Cheese Shop / Barber Cellars Winery

The Petaluma Cheese Shop / Barber Cellars Winery is a family-owned and operated establishment located in the heart of Petaluma. Owned by Michael and Lorraine Barber, the winery has been crafting delicious wines since 2007 and is known for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. In 2023, the business expanded to include a cheese shop, offering a wide selection of local and international cheeses and charcuterie, as well as sandwiches to pair with the winery's exceptional wines. Customers can enjoy the cozy tasting room, complete with large windows, a bar area, and a variety of seating options. The cheese tasting experience is organized and informative, providing a much better alternative to randomly trying cheeses at a store. The shop is open to the attached hotel courtyard, where visitors can take their cheese and drinks outside to enjoy with their dogs. The cheese choices change regularly and often come with a selection of savory and sweet sauces, dips, and bread. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable, making every visit special. Lorraine, the owner, is especially warm and engaging, sharing stories about her winemaking journey and helping coordinate visits for groups like wine clubs. Many customers appreciate the cheese subscription, which includes detailed cards with background information on the cheeses and creameries. The cozy space, combined with the beautiful location inside the historic hotel lobby, makes this a must-visit for wine and cheese lovers.
