We were staying in Whistler for a few days and walking through the village we saw this cute little place and knew we would stop in during our stay. Fast forward to Mother's Day morning, and that was all I wanted, Wine and Cheese. We walked over from our hotel and were lucky to get the only table inside for two. They have a small patio and all the tables were full and it was pretty breezy and chilly so we were happy to have a table inside.
The staff was fantastic. One woman came over immediately giving us our menu's and she was so fun to talk to. We decided on our order after a recommendation from the staff. We ordered our wine, explored the little shop, tasted a few cheeses and then it was time for our lunch, Fondue with a board of dipping items. The Swiss fondue is Emmenthaler cheese and Gruyere, we added a side of truffle oil which we used lightly as it can be strong. The board of dipping items included cornichons, tiny white onions, bread, sliced apples and small tender pieces of potato. It was also served with a beautiful side salad for us to share. This was truly was one of our favorite stops and meals while in Whistler. Everything was amazing. The fondue sat over a heater on our table, was not, bubbly and perfectly creamy and melted. The snacks to dip all paired perfectly with the fondue and were fresh and flavorful. The salad too was fresh, crispy and a nice acidic break from the heaviness of the fondue. The wine selection was nice and both of our glasses paired perfectly with the cheese.
We bought little chunks of two of our favorite cheese we tasted to take back to our room and enjoy before going to dinner. Again, great cheese shop, deli and wine. They do make sandwiches, you can stop in and pick up items for a picnic or dine in.
This was a great find. read more
