great place to buy nibbles. Wonderful variety of cheeses and wine. Located within driving distance of the inn.
Oh, where to start. First, my husband was a little put off by the old building exterior of the shop--I think he had something else in mind. He parked and we went in and that's all it took. The person working was super knowledgeable and helpful as we chose wine/cheese to end our day. She also made a WONDERFUL recommendation for a late lunch. I only wish we had this shop closer.
I always end up laughing gustily with the two women who own this place, which has a nice selection of wine, and excellent cheeses from local and Vermont farms. As it is located across the street from one of the more exciting and pleasurable restaurants in the state, the Downtown Grocery, the pleasure of each trip is amplified by at least 2!
Downtown ludlow ...close and easy after a long skiing day...get your wine on and enjoy it somewhere by a fireplace...
The Wine and Cheese Depot in Ludlow is operated by one of the most wine-knowledgeable persons in the East. Leslie's selection of wines covers normal table wines to excellent vintage specialties. Her selection of cheeses is wonderful. And soon, she'll be opening the Stemwinder where you'll be able to enjoy wine and selected tidbits in a very new and comfortable location.
The wine is fine but the cheese tells you the wonderful story that is Vermont frommage!
we bought some delicious cheese and wine from this place. They have a great inventory and the help is very knowledgeable and made great suggestions
I read all of the other reviews and decided to visit. Really good wine selection and fine cheeses. They didn't offer wine tastings, something about Vermont Law. It is just not something I would go out of the way for.
My husband and I where up in Ludlow for a quick getaway and stopped in at this shop. I was a little intimidated by all the types of cheese and having it set up in a deli style case. There where two ladies that worked there that where warm and welcoming. Encouraged my husband and I to try whatever we wanted and was very nice when we only bought a half pound sample of a few cheeses. I would definitely return!
this place is a must see if you travel to Ludlow!! My mom and i loved the wine and the wine suggestions we were given here!
