This is the old location--it was so cute! I have a feeling the same great charcuterie will follow to the new location. Each board is customizable, allergen accommodating (all nuts kept in separate jars away from other items), and comes with all the accoutrements! Perfect to grab a bite with friends or take away to a party or get together! read more

The perfect spot for a group or date night! I recently visited Culture for the first time as part of a holiday gathering with about 25 people, and I was so impressed! The Vibe: It is such a cute, intimate space. While I didn't get a chance to check out the second level, we rented out the entire first floor and it was perfect for a group of our size. It would also be an amazing spot for a cozy date night. We had a massive charcuterie board that was a total hit--it was loaded with plenty of unique bites that kept everyone happy. Two things you must try The Spicy Pecans: My group literally couldn't stop raving about these, and the Spicy Margaritas. If you're looking for a stylish, small venue with great energy and quality snacks, this is it. I'll definitely be back to see what the upstairs is like! read more

My bestie took me here for a birthday celebration meal thing. It is charcuterie so it is gonna be pricy, just be aware. We each got a different cocktail, and they were quite tasty! Part way through our time here though, we also discovered that you can get mimosa flights, so we ended up also getting one of those to share. Brilliant! We built our own charcuterie, and you already know it ain't gonna be cheap! We knew a couple things we really wanted, but also happily took recommendations from the staff for a couple options to fill out the board we got. We noshed and sipped for a while, taking our time (mid-day, week day visits have you feeling unbothered and unhurried, if you swing that). Even with the small charcuterie plate we got, there were things leftover. We were given a to-go box to take the rest of our goodies with us. We had a nice visit here and a good time. Certainly worth a visit, maybe with a small group or a book club meeting or something....or just as a treat for yourself! read more

Mixed review incoming.. so we came here for their anniversary event that was advertised on Facebook. This review is mainly for the event. The event said it started at 12, we arrived at 1. The $5 cocktails advertised were only offered from certain times. You could get a $5 Bloody Mary from certain hours but the five dollar old-fashioned and margaritas weren't available till 5 PM. We brought two pairs of shoes for donation for WaterStep and the man taking our order had no idea what we were talking about (he asked another person thankfully). The event said they were doing giveaways all day and had goats, we didn't see either. We saw a box of giveaway items and when someone asked about them, the staff member said he wasn't sure and maybe they were for games they were playing later. Flash tattoos were supposedly starting at one, we saw someone setting up around 1:30. We saw a face painting booth but no one was there. We ordered a $12 charcuterie cup, it was fine. The space is really neat, lots of indoor and outdoor seating! A staff member came to our table and brought us water which was really kind. We were really disappointed that an hour into the event (when we arrived) nothing was set up. We stayed till 1:45 and gave up, they were still setting up. read more

Went on a nice Wednesday day. Small parking lot or street parking available. Almost every table on the patio was taken around 630pm. Staff there to take your order but you can also go inside and order at the counter. Inside is where you can find out the type of cheeses/meats for the boards too. Wednesday is half off bottles of wine. Wines bottles were around $40 so ~$20 on Wednesdays. Once we ordered our wine it took about 10 minutes for it to be brought to our table and then another 20 minutes to get our board. Really enjoyed everything on the board food wise. read more

Cultured - "Four You" Board (4-6 people) includes 4 cheese and 3 charcuterie - Cheese Shops Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I was in the mood for charcuterie so my friend and I stopped by for dinner. The staff explained the menu and helped us choose cheeses and meats. We got 3 cheeses (can't remember which ones) that the staff recommended and for meats, we got the trout and salmon since my friend is pescetarian. Really nice of them to have options for non meat eaters! It didn't seem like much from the plate but it ended up being a lot of food! We were stuffed! They had chocolate, crackers, fruits, and pickled vegetables. A great selection! And since it was half off wine bottles we opted for one of their white wines. Such a great deal! There weren't any seats open indoors so we sat out on the patio. Lots of fans around and umbrellas to cool us down. Parking is kinda weird since the parking lot next to it isn't free LOL. I parked on the side street without any trouble. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Cultured on a Friday night. We arrived on the earlier side around 5:30 pm. There is a parking lot with a good amount of spaces or on street parking. We walked through the outdoor patio area and inside where there is a small seating area, bar area and counter. It's a bit tight where you order but the service was wonderful. They explained the menu and that days offerings of meats and cheeses. We opted for the 2-3 person platter which includes 3 cheeses and 2 meats. We also ordered a few drinks and then headed outside with our order number. The patio area is lovely and mostly shaded. We selected a corner sitting area and noticed several fans around to help keep the area cool and bugs away. They brought us out a carafe of cold water and our food arrived shortly after. We throughly enjoyed the assortment of meats, cheeses, nuts and fruit that came on the platter. Would highly recommend and we'll be back! read more

The Charcuterie Class offered at Cultured is 100% worth your time and money. The wonderful owner of Cultured herself was our class instructor who truly took her time to demonstrate the process to build our own charcuterie board. I would highly recommend taking this class! It is first come, first serve seating so get there early if you have a larger group! read more

I discovered Cultured on my trip to Louisville in 2021, and even though I was only in Louisville for four days, I went twice because Cultured is SO GOOD. Cultured was one of the places I was most looking forward to going when I went back to Louisville in 2023, and it did not disappoint. Cultured serves drinks (beer, wine, cocktails, and mocktails -- there's something for everyone), and they specialize in charcuterie boards. You can get charcuterie boards of various sizes, and you can select which cheese and meats you want (you're not forced to have a cheese or meat you dislike). The cheese and meat selection rotates, so there's always something new to try, and they add an assortment of fruits, vegetables, nuts, crackers, pickles, and more. Their charcuterie boards are truly AMAZING. And if in the mood for something lighter, you can just order an assortment of cheese and meat, without all the other items. Once again, we went to Cultured twice, once for lunch and once for a small snack. For lunch, we had a charcuterie board with Asiago, Chipotle Colby, Pimento, and "Ted: cheeses (Ted is an aged white cheddar made locally), and smoked salmon and beef salami. DELICIOUS! If in Louisville, stopping at Cultured is a must! [Yelp collections: Louisville, KY 2021; Louisville/Indianapolis 2023; Louisville, KY 2023] read more

This place is AMAZING. My husband and I were trying to find a place to eat and were kind of aimlessly driving when we spotted the patio of Cultured. How did I not know there was a place that specializes in charcuterie boards? This is basically my dream - sitting outside eating local cheese, fruits, nuts, etc. We got the Make it a Double for $35 which serves 2 - 3 people. You get three cheeses and 2 meats. The tray was stuffed with the aforementioned cheeses and meats, fruits, olives, vegetables, some chocolates, etc. It was soooooo good and definitely enough food for two people. They had an extensive drink list. My husband got the Mob Wife which has Limoncello, Luxardo, raspberry liqueur, simple syrup, lemon. It was sweet and tart. I got the Modica Blueberry Lavender Lemon Drop mocktail. It was super refreshing for a summer evening. I'll definitely be back to sample some other cheeses and meats. It seems like their selection changes frequently. Service was great, the vibes were chill and comfortable and the food was wonderful. read more

Cultured is my go to whenever I need a charcuterie for a get together. I've ordered several boards from here over the past couple of years. I usually order ahead of time online. My board is always ready on time and fresh. I love the variety of meat, cheese, fruit, veggies, nuts, chocolate, etc. that they offer. They are also reasonably priced. One day I'll have to come and actually sit in the establishment. Whenever I go here to pick up my board, it seems like a fun chill environment with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is also very welcoming and nice. 10/10 would highly recommend! read more

I made the mistake of showing my girlfriend this place in the middle of spring and then every Wednesday she asked me to go for the wine deals. I am not a big wine drinker, but I do love those charcuterie board. The only problems is is that I love the cheese so much that I need more cheese. Cultured, please give me more cheese. Thank you cultured read more

Loved this place! Charcuterie platters, cocktail specials on the weekend and a lovely patio and indoor space. The variety on the charcuterie platter was perfect. The weekend drink specials included $3 mimosas which is hard to pass up. The bloody mary's were definitely worth it especially with the $5 price tag. read more

Fairly priced cheese spot with super attentive staff and a great variety of accouterments on the charcuterie board. We got the white cheddar, manchego, and pimento-beer cheese. All 3 were very good but the pimento beer cheese combo stole the show. Easily spreadable and had a unique but delicious flavor. read more

Cheese, meat, drinks... count me in! I love having a spot my husband and I can go to enjoy an afternoon or pre dinner nibble with their charcuterie boards. The only problem is having to fight over who will have the last bite of cheese! read more

The atmosphere of cultured is great! The outside area is fun and so is the inside area. Definitely a place set up to get some finger foods and talk amongst friends or coworkers. The charcuterie board that we got had some really tasty options and looks amazing when you get it! Five star presentation. I think it's pricy for just two people but that's specific to us obviously. It's a very fun place for parties, double dates, and maybe a special occasion. read more

Cheese & Vibes? Say Less. I walked into Cultured thinking I'd have a cute little cheese moment--and walked out a full-blown dairy enthusiast. If you love great wine, perfectly curated cheese boards, and an atmosphere that makes you feel effortlessly cool, welcome to your new obsession. The selection?? Next level. Every cheese, every pairing, every sip of wine feels intentional, elevated, and just straight-up delicious. Like, I took one bite and immediately started questioning why I ever settled for basic grocery store cheese. (I've changed. I'm different now.) And the vibe?? Absolutely flawless. It's giving "I'm sophisticated but also fun"--the kind of place where you could have a romantic date, a gossip-filled wine night, or just sit alone and pretend you're the mysterious lead in an indie film. Final thoughts? Cultured isn't just a wine & cheese shop--it's a lifestyle. If you haven't been yet, grab your people (or just yourself, no shame) and go treat your taste buds to something truly elite. read more

Cultured lived up to the hype. The food and cocktails were outstanding. Don't wince too much at the prices because you get a lot of food and the quality of the meats and cheeses are incredible. They craft everything behind the counter, so be a little patient with getting your food because, trust me, it's worth the wait. Our server gave us excellent recommendations, and we went home extremely happy. We ended up staying for a second cocktail because it was a nice place to sit and relax. I enjoyed the Black Manhattan and the Old Fashioned. read more

Cultured - Make it a Double - Cheese Shops Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Ordered a charcuterie board for 3-4 people and had it delivered. The board was missing a couple of items which was disappointing. Also when we were getting ready to serve it, we noticed the crackers were quite stale (soft) and the bread slices tasted old. For the price we paid, and compared to past orders with which we were pleased, this was such a letdown. Please do better! read more

Visited here for the second time today! First experience was fabulous! Awesome coaching on tasting cheeses and meats, excellent selections with a staff that is smart, helpful and conscientious. We had a smaller tray this time and it was not disappointing. We tried a variety of cheeses and the smoked trout. It was wonderful. Fruits and nuts and honey added in. It was a wonderful experience. Their wine selection is very good also. read more

Cultured - Cheese charcuterie with smoked trout. Excellent!! - Cheese Shops Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Excellent locally owned business. Great food, drinks and service! A must try if you're in the area. Also the best boards to go in the city.

Went here as a midafternoon snack, we split the "get your own" board, which you select 3 cheeses and 1 meat. It also came with "extras" like fresh fruit, pecans, mustard, honey, and picked veggies. It was delicious and the presentation was beautiful!! I definitely think the value of the board was worth it for all the food we got. We will definitely be back! read more

My friends and I took a pit stop from our distillery tour to grab a snack and some refreshing cocktails. Cultured is such a beautiful, chill spot. Plenty of outdoor patio seating for large groups. (And seems like a popular first date location.) We went inside to order a few charcuterie plates and drinks. The baristas are so fun and welcoming. They made it feel like we were going on a picnic with friends. I got the Hibiscus Paloma (tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, hibiscus syrup, soda water) for myself, which didn't taste like a usual paloma, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Love the spin they put on classic drinks. Everyone else seemed to have a great time because we stayed here to talk and drink for a few hours. I'd definitely come back here again on my next trip to Louisville! read more

If you love cheese, definitely put Cultured on your to-try list. You can buy cheese -- especially from Kentucky favorite Kenny's Farmhouse Cheese -- and order charcuterie boards and drinks to enjoy on their patio. They also have a variety of other charcuterie board items to purchase. I went in most recently to buy some Kenny's to give as Christmas gifts. The owner, Jessica, is the daughter of *the* Kenny, which means they get some cheese exclusives. I also blame Cultured for my new obsession with Green Chili Jam. This jam is ... well ... the jam (sorry, couldn't resist). Jessica originally recommended I use it on some soft cheese, like a fromage blanc, on crackers. I don't normally like spicy things, but this is amazing stuff. I'm about halfway through my second jar. Cultured also has plastic igloos on their patio so that guests can nosh and hopefully stay safe from COVID. So excited to make Cultured a regular stop! read more

We started our Saturday evening out by meeting at this cute place called Cultured. It is a cheese & charcuterie bar off Main Street downtown. They have a great patio and tables to enjoy the outdoors. It is also nice that they have a small parking lot available. Street parking was easy to come by though. We had a round of drinks which included an Aperol Spritz, Ginger Pear Margarita and a Spyglass Sour Beer. We will definitely be back to try some of their charcuterie. read more

Including but not limited to assorted fruits, vegetables, pickled items, condiments, nut & berries.) The meats and cheeses chosen were : Had ordered cheese curds but was given chipotle colby instead fromage blanc gouda white cheddar mortadella smoked trout It was all so delicious and fresh, it really was a work of art. I will definitely be ordering from here anytime I need a food gift from now on read more

I work downtown and pass this pretty building twice a week. Finally on a day off we decided to check it out. The space is impressive with both indoor and outdoor seating along with a fully stocked bar. The meat and cheese selections vary so there is a lot of opportunity to change up your charcuterie preferences. We loved our "Make it a Double" selection--a lot of options for $30. They also do delivery via GrubHub which is a bonus for people who aren't in the downtown area. I was really impressed with the ambiance, outdoor seating and presentation of the food. We will definitely be back! read more

Stumbled upon Cultured while exploring Louisville with a group of friends and feel like we found a hidden gem! The shop is absolutely adorable - they have a cute outdoor patio area and the inside has a cute neon sign with a selfie stick and light at the ready! The staff were really friendly and helpful. We ended up making our own charcuterie board to take to go. I felt like the price was very reasonable for everything we got! The cheese and meats were delicious and we really enjoyed all the little accoutrements as well. Would definitely recommend this for lunch, happy hour, or even a cute date night! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Wonderful charcuterie boards/options and great drinks. We were there on margarita day (Monday) so the classic margarita will be $5 but the specialty margaritas will be $8. I had the watermelon margarita for $8.. and had 2 as they were very tasty. Served with a jalapeno but the drink wasn't too spicy... just the slight hint, which was perfect. I didn't notice it at first but I was charged full price for the drinks but when I called the next day, it was no issue at all for them to refund the difference. Nice customer service. One of my friends had a red wine flight which is served with properly paired cheese/crackers/nuts for each pick of wine. With the flights, you can not mix white and red... you have to chose one or the other. My other friend had a couple mocktails that she enjoyed. There were 3 of us but since this was going to be our dinner, we ordered the Four You board that is said to serve 4-6 people... and we devoured it! Their cheese and meat options can change daily so they are posted on boards in the restaurant. I love that they have a smoked salmon option as it was a nice addition to our board. Inside has some seating but not a lot. The deck can provide more space; however, on our day, it was super hot but luckily we were able to grab a table inside. All ordering is done at the counter. The location has plenty of parking too with it's own lot and street parking available. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Finally got a chance to spend some time at Cultured - what the heck took me so long?! First of all, I let them know right away that this was my first time here and they were so sweet and explained everything so even a newbie like me could understand. I really appreciated that. Since I stopped in right after eating a huge meal, so I decided to forgo the food and enjoyed a couple of cocktails instead. My initial plan was the hang out on their awesome patio space, but it was far too windy. Luckily, their indoor space is so cozy and comfy, I couldn't have asked for a better place to post up! I tried their espresso martini - very creamy, very yum. I would say I do like my espresso martinis a little less creamy and milky, but this one still hit the spot. I also tried the seasonal margarita and it was absolutely refreshing and delicious. I am really looking forward to spending more time here. It's so cozy, the cocktails are on point, and the charcuterie boards look beautiful and bountiful. read more

Cheese, wine, an adorable patio, friendly staff- what's not to love? Cultured is my kind of place. Locally owned and operated, delicious selection of cheese, meats and all of the accoutrements beautifully arranged on a tray, wine, beer, bourbon and more! The building is bright yellow which is my favorite color so I was drawn to it immediately. There are several tables and bar seating inside and picnic style tables with umbrellas on the patio. The owner and the staff work very hard to make sure their guests are having a wonderful experience. They have daily specials such as $3 mimosas and $5 Bloody Mary's on Saturday and Sunday, half price bottles of wine on Wednesdays and discounted cocktails on Thursdays. It is the perfect spot for girls night or girls day. :) I highly recommend the smoked salmon and smoked trout as part of your charcuterie board. read more
