Seems like a quintessential Wisconsin place to be, a cheese bar paired with your favorite wine or cocktail. This place is pretty neat! It'll turn you into a cheese connoisseur if you're not already one. I fell in love with Gouda cheese as soon as I took a bite. We tried a classic cheese flight board and red wine only flight to pair with the different types of cheese. They made it into a gluten free spread so we had four types of cheese in lieu of the seasoned dried meat and gluten free crackers. The place is inviting, has nice decorations, great for going on a date or a casual catch up with your bestie. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. They knew so much about wine and cheese, I would want a whole Documentary on cheese. You can also purchase cheese and other goodies to go! Come on Thursdays, they have a discount on cheese boards! read more

I've been here a few times now with friends and family and I really enjoy the cheese bar. My prior reviews are on another page for the business and spoiler - they were 5-star reviews. The space is cozy and dim and well decorated. The staff are always kind. some are more helpful or informative than others. You can pair the cheeses with every drink on the menu or try pre-paired boards. You can also buy cheeses from the dairy and others, as well as assorted related products at a small retail section or cut fresh from the cheese case. Parking is on the street and can be a pain in this saturated area. The reason for the drop in stars? Prior visits got you more wines and more food to pair it with. This visit had prices steady but fewer wines, less cheese and $1 upcharge for some wafer crackers. I know the economy is not great right now, but this now seems like an expensive place to bring friends, not a reasonable day outing. read more

Date of visit: March 28, 2026 This was our second stop on a birthday date night and was a lovely little find! While the menu is limited and not cheap, staff were very friendly and walked us through everything before we selected a couple of things to try. Pretty much all of the cheeses and accoutrements were fantastic! One of the cheese on our plate was the espresso version of Bellavitano, which happens to be one of my favorites, so that was a nice little bonus for me. In addition to the board, we also went with the ricotta bites, which featured one sweet and one savory option, both of which we also really liked. The shop is cozy and if this was somewhere that I lived walking distance from, I could totally see myself coming here fairly regularly and having a little cheese and ambiance. During our time there we saw both couples on dates and old friends gathering for a drink and a nosh, all of which I found just wonderful. Really the only thing keeping this from a five star review was that the side items, such as the crackers were not plentiful enough for the cheese. I know that ratio can be hard to nail but it was not quite on the mark here, unfortunately. However, that would not be enough to prevent me from returning! read more

We came in on a Thursday afternoon when it first opened and the place was totally empty. Staff was super friendly and gave us recommendations based on our preferences. I ordered the White Wine Cheese Board while my husband got the Hibiscus Margarita with the accompanying cheese. I was surprised to find the Harbanero included with mine wasn't super spicy which I appreciated! I think the wine choices paired very well with each cheese. I wasn't crazy about the Hill Valley Cheese included with the board, as it was a little too strong for my palette. The place itself was super relaxing and we enjoyed our cheese and drinks on the couch. There's also board and card games you can play with friends too! All in all, good experience and a relaxing way to experience the cheese Wisconsin has to offer read more

This is the cutest spot! Perfect for a cozy date night or just meeting a friend to catch up! I was intrigued that they served crafted mocktails with NA spirits (love that more places are doing this), and was dying to try it out. The drinks did not disappoint and each is paired with a piece of cheese, which is the most fun idea! We also ordered the smaller cheese plate for a light snack and got to pick 3 cheeses from the case. The owner/cheese maker brought it out to us and was so friendly! They also have a retail section, and we grabbed some cheeses for a party the next day. Will definitely be back! read more

Very friendly staff! I came in knowing nothing about cheese and the staff helped me pick the best board. I tried black pepper cheddar, ancho chile & coffee alpine, and 7 year aged cheddar. All were delicious! I also got the rose (strawberry kiwi) sangria, which was also delicious. It was a great place and I'll definitely be back! I have a nut allergy and they were very accommodating! read more

What a lovely little spot! We stopped in for a pre dinner drink, and we're excited to try their craft cocktails & cheese pairings. While I don't remember the exact names of our drinks, I DO remember the delicious pineapple foam on top of mine-what a treat! There is a small retail area that has all of the essentials to make your own board. They also serve their own! I'll be back to try a Bloody Mary, sangria, or both read more

I met a friend here last week and had a great experience! Julia was our bartender, and she provided excellent service and helpful suggestions. We ordered the white wine & cheese flight and red wine & cheese flight, and we each ordered a cocktail that was also paired with a cheese. I ordered the Babcock Boulevard, and my friend ordered the Hill Valley Bourbon Old Fashioned Sour. Everything tasted great and paired well with the cheeses. The atmosphere is loungy, and it is a great place to wind down, catch up with friends, or to take a date. Check it out! read more

This is a great spot with a nice atmosphere and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We went with a group and tried nearly every cocktail on the menu. Each one was absolutely fabulous and so creative. One had a ricotta foam, which was unique and tasted amazing! The cheese pairings were delicious, and the fromage truffles were great for splitting with a couple others. My favorite cheeses were Luna and the butterkasse. The fresh cheese curds were the best I've had, and I'm from Wisconsin. It's a great place for a pre- or post-dinner date night or to get some drinks with friends. The cheese you can purchase from the store also makes a nice gift or would be great when hosting. read more

Seeing everyone post about the new cheese bar at Hill Valley Dairy and had to check it out. It did NOT disappoint!! With delicious cocktails. Including the best bourbon old fashioned I've tried. (I prefer brandy sweet.) And the rum based Autumnal Beach Vibes. Each with a cheese pairing. The Classic Board was a perfect mix of salty and sweet treats. We ended up grabbing a couple of our favorite items, the Alina cheese and Bourbon Flank Steak to go! Staff was very knowledgeable and helpful in picking out things we'd like. read more

Hill valley is such a fun spot to stop at if you're looking for unique Wisconsin cheeses to try and beverages to pair with. It is also in a super convenient location in the Walkers Point neighborhood as well. We had a great experience, everyone who helped us was so kind, and I love that it is a relaxed/chill atmosphere. I went with a friend to catch up and we got their specialty cocktail of the day and split their classic charcuterie board which featured a bunch of local products such as cheese, nuts, crackers, and more. It was SO delicious and I felt that the board serves anywhere from 2 to 3 (maybeee 4) people. I greatly enjoyed my fruity cocktail choice as well. They also offer different flight options for wines and cheeses which is a great idea if you can't decide what to get! I would very much recommend stopping at Hill Valley if you are a cheese or wine lover and are looking for a new/different experience! read more

Awesome spot in Walkers Point. Delicious cocktails and cheese. What more could you want

First time enjoying this local cheesemaker and will be back! At the suggestion of my daughter we visited the "cheese bar" and it was simply amazing! Staff immediately greeted us as we entered - entire team was very friendly and knowledgeable. This made for a wonderful night out with my grown kids. We enjoyed wine flights that included cheese pairings and nibbles. My daughter enjoyed a unique fresh and fruity cocktail with a delicious banana foam. The cheeses and wines were carefully selected and paired. These were great quality and decent pours. The server took time to explain each of the items included on our cheese board and flights - a real expert and we could tell they loved the cheese like we do! This would definitely be a great place to bring visitors to our city. We enjoyed a variety of cheeses and agreed they were all so good! We even got some meats, snacks and salted dark chocolates. The interior was clean and very pretty with comfortable mixed seating- we chose plush lovechair and chair seating. They sell the cheeses they serve - all are local and they make cheese on-site! The retail area is inviting with wines, cheese and local items for sale. It doesn't get fresher or better than that! Overall great experience and looking forward to our next visit. read more

Highlights 1) Nice Ambiance 2) Generous Portions 3) Fun/Unique Place What a great addition to the neighborhood! Stopped in with a group of 4 on a week night and was able to snag a table right away. The ambiance is really nice and there is seating at the bar, couches or tables. There is also a cheese shop where you can pop in for grab and go cheese. We all did the wine flights and cheese pairing. The portions were very generous. The servers explained everything in detail about the wine, cheese and why they paired them together. We had a fun time and I look forward to being back! read more

Great new addition to Walkers Point! Stopped in for a lunchtime visit and had the Classic Board which was served with 3 cheeses, Lake Geneva Country cured meats, fruit, nuts, jam, Intelligentsia chocolate and cookies. Delicious and plenty for 2 people. My favorite cheese was Luna - cave rind offspring of alpine and Gouda. The soft Brie and 3 year cheddar were also very good. I never thought to pair chocolate and cheddar but it was so good. Location is a beautiful remodel of former cheese shop with a new cocktail bar vibe. Speaking of drinks, the menu of specialty cocktails, wine and beer was more than I expected at a cheese shop. I'll be back in the evening to try some of these. They offer multiple wine and cheese flights to choose from along with some additional food items. Staff was friendly and helpful. Met the owner/cheesemaker and learned a lot about the business and process of cheese making. There is even a window viewing area to watch them make the cheese. They were making fresh cheese curds when we were there. Finally you can buy Hill Valley Dairy cheese and other cheese makers products in their deli cases. Top tier stuff! Overall this new kid on the block is a must try if you love cheese and want a fun night out. PS they also own a shop in Lake Geneva which is equally great read more

Inside decore was very classy, dark ambiance. Made it feel like a jazz club. Menu was much more than I was expecting with lots of options and variety of pairings to try. Wine came by the glass, bottle, or flight with and without cheese suggestion pairings. I liked that it felt like a good in between from a bar and dinner. Not too much pressure. Only thing that took away from the experience for me was having to get up and go order from the bar rather than service. Still so fun read more

Absolutely delightful, out of towner from Denver this was the experience I was searching for! Cheese was amazing service lovely. read more

We visited this place for my sister to purchase something Wisconsin made to bring home to LA. It was a lovely place to be in for some wine to go with cheese .
