Temecula Valley Cheese Company

My go to cheese shop when I'm in Temecula.

This place is amazing. I’m from NYC and have a hard time finding half the cheeses and meats I love out here, but she has them!! When I go, I ask for a sampling of their current favorites, a baguette of bread, and a glass of wine. The patio is so quaint and lovely to sit on and just feast. Sometimes I take everything home and pair it with olive oil. It’s magical!

Very quaint and delicious stop we stumbled upon over the weekend. The pairings were fantastic! Staff was very friendly.

Just walked in to check out the cheese. The second we walked in the older lady with a blondish grey pony tail that we saw promptly let us know it’s a 30 minute wait! My husband asked For?? She said everything! She never looked up at us and was very off putting and seemed obliged for us to get the F out!! Never coming back!!!

We bought some stinky cheese. The lady only wanted to sell and get the most tickets size. No guidance or discussion, even though the shop was empty. We asked for a $5 slice to taste she gave two slices and gave a receipt for $21. The cheese were not nice and has a poor body.

Being a cheese lover, I have been to this shop many times. Each time I go strictly to buy cheese and get out! Each visit has become worse then the previous. I cringe as I see the rude owners always wondering how they are still in business. In every experience, the lady does not acknowledge me and blurts, "Thirty minute wait." After waiting twenty minutes, during my last visit ,she asked me, "What do you want?" I asked for a taste of some cheese prior to buying due to the cheeses price of $58.00 a pound. She told me she does not give samples (or smiles). I have nothing positive to mention about there customer service.The owners contribution to our day made the exciting cheese adventure lose its positive energy It simply deflated and fizzled away. I guess from now on I'll have to settle with mild cheddar from corporate grocery stores.

On Saturday, April 30th, my husband and son-in-law bought several cheeses for a dinner we planned to make that evening. As soon as my son-in-law opened TVCC's two tubs of "fresh" mozzarella cheese for the caprese salad, he knew it was bad. After examining both tubs we discovered that each one expired in JANUARY! Needless to say, we threw it out and nixed the salad. I called TVCC the next day to alert them to pull their mozzarella so no one else bought it and potentially got sick, and to get a refund. No one answered so I left a detailed message and my phone number. In my message I told them I had the tubs, live in town and would drive down to their shop - no call back. So, I went to their website, clicked on their contact info. and sent an email with the same message - no response. I even drove by the shop this past Monday, but they were closed. I'm upset that we couldn't make the salad and I'm upset that we're out around $20, but what has me so shocked and upset is that Temecula Valley Cheese Company has not, to this day, responded. We like to support small businesses in our town, but needless to say, we will never return to this business.

We absolutely LOVE this place. We come every time we are here visiting my brother in law. I couldn’t imagine coming to Temecula without this place. The owners are AMAZING. They have always been the sweetest and they really know their stuff when it comes to wine and cheese. I highly recommend this spot to relax and listen to live music, celebrate life, really anything you would want some wine & cheese for. This is forever one of my all time favorite spots.

This place was horrible. I paid a lot of money for a Charcuterie platter, and it was just awful. Out of season wilted fruit. Just put I styrofoam containers. SERIOUSLY I know charcuterie platers and this was lower than low. I would not serve that to my worst enemy. I would not recommend. If you are going to do specialty foods , do your research.
