We came for the tour especially since they are closing at the end of the month. There were so many people for their tour and they did a good job maneuvering the group inside and out. The explanation of the process was so interesting then having the opportunity to see the final product in their specific aging room along with the tasting at the end was worth it. Glad we stopped by read more

I first sampled the Three Trick Pony from Bohemian Creamery's cheeses at a winery and instantly fell in love with the flavor. Found out their creamery has a drop in tastings and knew I had to try it. They do a three cheese sampler for free but we opted for a full flight to try all their various cheeses. Grabbed a table outside and got to enjoy the scenery while snacking on some cheese. We watched the cows graze over the pasture and the mountains and lake in the distance. Was truly a beautiful sight. I would recommend you bring your own drinks or wine as they do not sell any beverages. They do have a water dispenser that is free in a pinch. The salty cheese does leave you quite parched. read more

Do you love cheese ? You will be happy here, My family came here for cheese tasting on our most recent Memorial day weekend trip. If you are looking for a fancy tasting place maybe this is not your place however the place is very clean and you will be tasing on a table under an Umbrella, each table have an Umbrella and the seating's are very spacious. They have a very nice clean bathroom accessible from outside but attached to the main building, the parking can be a little tight though but doable. I found that the service is somewhat cold/ rude but we were already there and since I didn't have to see their faces all the time while I enjoyed my cheese I just ignore it but the old lady in charge is not very friendly. Depending on the day and the time of your visit it could be very windy so make sure to bring long sleeves shirt so you can add your outwear if its get windy, the views from the tasting is beautiful like pastures on the prairies, an open land so the air feel very clean, the property itself is very small, the shop is very small however the only thing you do in the shop is to make your patter selection and you wait for your cheese outside at your table. There are a couple of sample plate you can choose from, there are 2 slices of the same cheese in each place at least that what we had and a couple of slices of bread you can eat with the cheese. We were 8 people in our group, we ordered 3 sample plate and each plate had 12 different cheese on them, 2 sample plate would have been just fine for us however we finished it all up but after that day I didn't want to eat cheese for a while. It was great experiences for all of us and we had great time sampling the cheese. enjoying the scenery. Would I do it again ? probably not but it was a good experiences read more

So we made our annual trip to Bodega Bay and happened upon this Cheese Shop. The location is awesome. Located in a rural setting, It's a very small shop with room for a small number of people on the customer side of the counter. They have a patio area to enjoy your cheese plate and absorb the beautiful ambiance of Sebastopol. You can take a tour of the property, and learn all about cheese making. The gentleman that was assisting us was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. I think his name was Matt. He obviously knew a lot about making cheese and was very passionate about it. They had about 15 or so cheeses in the display case, made from different animals - cows, goats, etc. It got a little crowded in the room with a bunch of people asking for different samples and he kept it moving with grace and efficiency. I definitely enjoyed the experience. I truly LOVE cheese. All kinds of cheeses. Unfortunately, these seemed a little too exotic for my palate. But It was a great experience and I would recommend it for sure, if you're in the area. read more

Wonderful cheeses in a chill intimate setting. Yum! Made reservations for the tour, which was so worth it! Learned so much about cheesemaking and got to sample 15 different delicious cheeses. Totally worth it! Tip: book the tour and come early for a delicious grilled cheese! SO YUM! Got a grilled cheese with the BOHO and truffled honey...mmmmm.... read more

What a lovely spot for a cheese tasting, Covid protocols and all! We arrived around 3p on Fri 11/6, and the friendly woman behind the counter greeted us and explained the options for tasting: purchase a tray to try them all, or sample three for free. With the relaxing outdoor seating area overlooking a pasture, we opted for the tasting platter. Within minutes she brought out a well-appointed tray of cheeses, perfectly labeled, along with a description key and a sheet for taking notes. She explained which cheese to begin with, and to work our way around the plate clockwise. We liked all but one of the cheeses, and several were absolutely delicious. The fresh bread was a perfect accompaniment. The only cheese we didn't enjoy was the final sample, The Bomb. Hoo boy is this one an acquired taste! It smelled like ripe gym socks, but we forged on despite the stink. Unfortunately the flavor didn't improve upon the smell, not for us at least. Our lovely hostess mentioned there was a reason they put it last, although she assured us that lots of people love it, including her! For us, tasting the Bomb gave us the biggest laugh of our three days in Sonoma County, but we wouldn't ever eat it again. We will, however, enjoy the yummy cheeses we purchased (Flower Power & Bo Peep), and would definitely recommend this shop to our cheese-loving friends. read more

A small creamery place but a mighty cheese selection. Booked a tour for 3 where we were shown the cheese making process. Supporting local and small. Did a cheese tasting that comprised of over 10 varieties of cheeses. Tasting cards available for taking notes. About 5-6 workers take high pride in their work and their service and especially their cheeses. Well worth going on the tasting tour. read more

Our favorite creamery hands down. Such a cute spot to stop and snag some cheese to take out wine tasting in the area. The place was bought by the head cheese maker from the previous owner a few years back and it's only gotten better since then. We love the grits and the la bomba (which is made with Russian River Consecration for some bonus funky flavors) as well as the Flower Power. If you enjoy cheese I can't recommend this place enough! read more

A group of us tried going there on Saturday, we just missed them. So I went back on Sunday. I have no idea what to expect and it was rather a stunning experience. The next time I go I get their cheese plate and bread and sit on their patio and stare at the beautiful scenery below. But you come here for the cheese. I closed my eyes when I was eating this and felt like I was in France. There are too many cheese makers around that make a rich hard cheese as good as this. And yes I know there are some legendary cheese makers in the San Francisco Bay area, this one does not have the presence of say cowgirl creamery or Marin French, but their cheese is superb. Definitely worth a Road trip! read more

Bohemian Creamery - I can't remember their names, they are both hard cheeses. The one on the right has a little peppercorn going on. - Cheese Shops Near Me - Sebastopol, California

The cheeses are delicious and the Sat. & Sunday tours at 1 pm is in just a few small rooms since this artisan creamery is small so you get a great tour explaining the entire cheese making process we got to walk into the aging rooms and enjoyed a full on generous tasting of all 14 cheeses on our tour with Matt a cheese maker and staff member . Matt who did a great job. The staff of 5 or 6 at the creamery all makes cheese and are hands on in other parts of the business too. We loved how uniquely made and named each cheese was! I have not had cheese this delicious since our France and Italy trips. There are new tables outside and you can get cheeses and sit outside and enjoy read more

What a find. We stopped here after doing some apple picking with the kiddos. The inside is pretty small so we sent one masked person in to order and sat outside on the lovely covered patio overlooking the goats. The staff was very friendly and fast! We ordered the $25 sampler so we could try all the cheeses and see what we wanted, then we went inside and made some purchases. I was impressed that there were SO many many that our group liked. They gave us notes on each cheese and a card to record what we liked, just like a wine tasting. My fave was the Caproncino, a firm aged goat-cheese that was chewy and delicious. My husband loved the Twist and Shout which was an aged sheep cheese with pepper and saffron. This one is super peppery which means he got it all to himself as the kiddo won't go near it. Also enjoyed the Cowabunga which had a yummy apricotty flavor...and for those who like a real stinky cheese, they have that covered as well! Great spot for kids (who like cheese) and families. read more

fun experience with a outside table and a view of the field below. Two of us split a platte. it's a great snack that exposes you to several cheeses you wouldn't normally try. I typically don't like sheep milk cheeses but the few I tried here were enjoyable. read more

What a delightful pit stop off Occidental Road! First of all, the cheeses here are incredible! My favorite is the one that tastes like cheesecake -- pure magic. On my last trip here, I left with Flower Power -- a soft, cow's milk cheese sprinkled with bee pollen. So fluffy and delicious! I also tried the goat's milk frozen yogurt. While I'm glad I gave it a try, the froyo was a bit too tangy for me. There is a great outdoor seating area to relax and snack on cheese. And to cap it all off, the staff are friendly and super helpful when deciding on which cheeses to buy. Pre-COVID, they offered generous samples! Definitely listen to the signs telling you to stop at Bohemian Creamery. Such a rustic gem of Sebastopol. :) read more

This is such a cute little cheese shop that I visited with friends while on a cheese tour in the area! It wasn't crowded at all and its a very small shop, but there is a lot of outdoor space hang as well as a nice landscape view in the back! The staff was very kind and helpful as she explained the different types of cheeses they offered, and I am glad they were still offering samples. The cheeses I tasted were not to my liking, but it was a fun experience! read more

Fabulous experience over all! A must visit to see the intricate cheese processing, as Sebastopol is so very famous for its dairy farms. The team in Bohemian Creamery has created a lot from very little. Not only have they created a lot of exquisite cheese with very little infrastructure, they share their spoils with you in abundance. Unique tastes, smells, experiences. A must visit! In Sebastopol! Take a bottle of wine to savor with the cheese. read more

This small creamery produces some excellent cheeses. They have a selection of cheese made from the milk of cows, sheep, goats and on occasion buffalo. I guess I don't know enough about cheese, I had visions of someone trying to milk a large--mean bison/buffalo, and thought it might be a ploy to encourage people to stop in. I was wrong; they use milk from water buffalo to make this exotic sounding cheese which they did not have when we stopped. They also have ice-cream made from the sheep and goat milk. We did the free tasting and ended up buying half of what we tasted. Unfortunately, I did not write down what we bought and it was gone almost as soon as we got home. S had the Carmel ice-cream/yogurt. I enjoyed the taste he gave me. The way to really enjoy this shop would be to take a tour and order the sample plate to enjoy all their cheeses. Take your plate outside and sit at one of the tables and enjoy looking out at the pasture. read more

A FUN place to visit again and again‼ I've been here several times and today I brought two friends for their first time. They sure enjoyed it so very much We were there on Saturday afternoon about 2:30 and the place seemed quite busy. The outside picnic area with canopy and a few tables were almost full. We ordered a sampler plate. This came with 12 cheeses and focaccia roll. We were advised to begin tasting with Capriago and move clockwise. They were all so different and interesting, some made with goat milk, cow, and even water buffalo‼ I knew I like BoDacious from my previous visit. So I focused on to see what's my next favorite. I found Poco Loco was the one to come home with me My friends said they really liked this tasting sampler but just stay away from BahBoom! I did remember that I was warned by the store lady about The Bomb (the cousin of BahBoom!) at my previous visit but I intentionally failed to let them know read more

Great cheeses of different varieties. Staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Will be back!!!

Tasty, fun cheeses. Cute place and patio vibes with views. Really lacking on the service front. Not warm or friendly. In fact, they were rude and looked annoyed with us the whole time like we were inconveniencing them. (Racist maybe? We were the only non-white people there). They also overcharged me and when I broke down the math, the lady tried to correct me and when I explained again that I had only bought 3/4lb, neither of them apologized for the pretty blatant mistake and he mumbled that she maybe wrote down the wrong number on the cheese wrapper. Wow. I mean. Way to ruin a pretty cute experience. Bye stars! read more

Tour was amazing! Great variety of fantastic, hand-crafted cheeses. Seems to be the only creamery in the area that opens its doors to the public and lets you see its neat, organized and natural processes. The cheese maker, Webster, is super knowledgeable, friendly and a true artist! read more

This is still a great Ave to visit for some cheese and other yummy snacks if passing through or local. They have a nice outdoor area now, that I don't believe was there pre-pandemic. They've changed ownership in the past few years but the dedication to cheese artisanal cheese making is still a priority and this is still one of my favorite tours on the California Cheese Trail. The tours have gone up a bit . I thought it was around $20, but I paid over $70 for two tours. It's till worth the cheese tasting that's included in the tour. If believe you can taste and not take the tour. Bodacious and Grits were my personal favs! read more

We have quite a fun time here. At first, I was a little taken back by the cheesy smell in the store. But this plate has prove me wrong, they have quite unique cheeses. If you love goat cheese, this place should be on your list. I love the cow cheese and the one that supposed to taste like cheesecake. I was quite entertained with one cheese's description: this cheese suppose to cure a noble Sicilian women. What a capturing description! Not sure if the goat taste or the peppery taste supposed to do that, but since the description stuck in my head, one point for marketing. For those adventures cheese taster out there, they do have 2 of the very funky taste-wise and smell-wise cheese on the plate, they are quite pungent you been warned. Overall, it is a fun activity to do with friends while looking at the field with cow munching away grasses. read more

Thank you for doing Sonoma county proud read more

This is our go-to place for cheese! We swing by several times throughout the year to either pick up cheese for gatherings or enjoy the sampler platter while taking in the beautiful landscape. Most recently we were watching a documentary on cheese and looked at each other in agreement we needed to head out to Bohemian on this beautiful Sunday. The staff is always so nice and informative. When we showed up, the door was locked but the gentleman working quickly opened it up and apologized not realizing it has been locked. We noticed there were some new cheeses since we had last been and the gentlemen explained they had changed ownership so some of the names were new and there were a couple of new options. Our go-to cheese is always the Flower Power and GRITS (formerly cowabunga). We got the sampler again since it was such a beautiful day out and we love trying everything. We sat out on the patio, read our books, and enjoyed the cheese. It truly was a perfect Sunday escape. We never felt rushed or like we were in the way. We took our time and everything was right in the world. We left with the new brie, GRITS, and the triple threat. Definitely check this place out. read more

Bohemian Creamery is a serious can't-miss if you're anywhere near Sebastopol and love cheese. Bring a cooler and stock up. Just note, they dry out kind of quick so store in a tupperware. Here you'll cheese from local goats, cows, sheep. These cheese are super diverse. From fresh goat cheese dotted with bee pollen, to goat cheese filled with the carmel-y substance, to the super stinky epoisse-style. They let you sample three cheeses for free, or you can try them all for $20 from their patio on top of a hill with a great view. read more

We are big, giant, well traveled foodies so this was right up our alley, especially after camping for a few days. Everything was wonderful. The setting was perfect. The service was very friendly, and the cheese tasting plate was so fun! We each assigned points on a scale of 1-5, including decimals. We added up our scores to see which 5 we would buy to take to our friends' home. They have water, but we brought sparkling water with us and used our camping cups, which added to the fun! I would totally go again! read more

My boyfriend and I were in the area on a Sunday and looking for something other to do rather than wine taste. "Creameries" popped up as part of "local flavor" and so we found ourselves at Bohemian Creamery! It was great that this place was still open on a Sunday! In fact, hours are only Fri-Sun 10-6. The area for the parking and the shop is pretty small. Inside, there is only enough room for a handful of people to stand. They also have a few tables and chairs outside. When we walked in, we were greeted warmly. They have a variety of cheeses, they have fondue, and froyo as well. My boyfriend and I decided to share a cheese tasting plate ($10) with their home-made bread ($1) and this was $11 total, what a deal! It turns out to be a bite of $16 cheeses for each of us, which I felt was good enough for me! A few of them were oh-so-delicious and some of them were pretty funky. While we were leaving we passed by the goats hanging out in their sleeping area, pretty cool, none felt like being petted that day though we were told that they usually walk right up to you! Wish we knew about this place earlier in order to book a tour! That will have to be next time. read more

SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!! - Bring Blue Ice and a cooler to stock up on goodies! This was the highlight of our day trip to Healdsburg. A tiny little cheese-ery with a small collection of unique home crafted cheeses. They also sell small rolls and hot FONDUE!, I think I am in love. This reminds me when cowgirl creamy had a teeny little shop right near my apt in SF - before they blew up. The ladies were super sweet and let me try everything. If I was going to be around all this week I would have bought one of everything, but they were upfront and said that their softer cheeses do not last very long. While the fondue is GENIUS, my idea is for them to get a couple of panini makers and offer a grilled cheese of the day. Just pre-make X sandwiches, grill them to order for $9, and when they run out, they run out (increase the volume based on the imminent growing demand). I bet they would make some money - be sure and put "Grilled cheese & Hot fondue" on the sign on the street - so people know about it. And They need a sign on Gravenstein Hwy as well. They also sold some great goat soap! read more

We stopped here randomly while cruising through a rainy Sunday Napa tour and I totally loved it! Small farm stand style goat cheese establishment with a delicious selection of hard, soft, fragrant, mild, and even goat cheese frozen yogurt! We were in a rush and quickly tasted a variety of the flavors, made a quick selection and were on our way but we can't wait to return. The location is very small, a few spots to park but overlooking a beautiful field with a suggestive picnic table placed right next to the stand. Perfect for a quiet picnic but best served for small groups. Rustic, farmhouse style, delicious and my perfect stumble-upon-it- kind of adventure. read more

We didn't get to do the tour because Lisa was out of town, but this place is such a gem, and definitely one of the highlights of our trip. They have about 20 varieties of cheese, made from milk from goat, cow, sheep and even buffalo. There is a tasting option for 2 that allows you to try every type of their cheese. The portion was just right. Thanks to that, we had buffalo cheese for the first time (.....interesting) and a dessert cheese called cowabunga (sweet caramel made from goat's milk in the center, very unique and delicious). We also had soft serve made from goat's milk for the first time! It was SO good. There are benches and tables outside of the shop, with an overlook of the farm for you to enjoy the cheese, bread and the view of cute animals wandering about the farm or just playing with each other. We are super jealous of the locals to have such a great cheese shop right in their neighborhood. Definitely would recommend anyone to go there. read more

One of the best, if not "The Best" tour I have ever been on. I have done many tours and this one stands out. For only $20, you will have an amazing couple of hours with the funny but very knowledgeable Lisa while tasting at least 20 different cheeses and learning a ton about cheese making. I am so glad I did this tour- Lisa started with explaining the whole chemistry of cheese making- she makes goat, cow and water buffalo cheeses at Bohemian creamery. Further, we tasted about 19 different cheese types- from some mild to some very very sharp cheeses. My favorite was the dessert cheese (Cowabunga), Capriago, Bodacious and ofcourse, capriago with coffee. She has invented some fun cheeses too, including the one with pollen (?!?) though it was super sharp for me, the boyfriend was a fan! She mostly supplies to restaurants, which sucks cause I would have regularly bought Bohemian Creamery cheese hee hee. Never the less, if in the area, please visit. If not the tour, at least do the tasting. Loved it :) read more

Stop here! It doesn't look like much but it offers a perfect diversion during a day of wine tasting. Order the sampler plate for $20. The portions look tiny, but most of the cheese samples are somewhat strong and funky-you'll most likely be happy you don't have more to nibble on. The fresh bread that comes with the sampler is a god send as a palate cleanser...especially when you reach "the bomb" at the end of the sample round. This cheese tasting was really fun to do as a group and the sunshine and the views were just right. read more
