If you can't decide which Heini's to visit In Amish country, let me help you. Visit The market In Sugarcreek! Nice little gourmet store with cheese samples, a wine tasting bar, and beer tasting bar. Lots of tables and seating, and quite often some live music. Great atmosphere! If you want a crowded cheese tour, go to the one In Berlin. If you want a good time, go to Heini's Market in Sugarcreek.
I don't know what I was thinking....I thought this place was like a country store that also sold cheese and wine in Amish country. It's a rather upscale place, with tons of wine -- if you can't find it there, they probably don't sell it! There was also a lot of cheese to choose from. There was live entertainment when we were there. Parking is a little dicey. Not enough spaces. Anyway, this is not a place to bring the kids (remember, I thought it was a country store!). We did pick up a few bottles of wine, though. If I were on a date with my husband or out with friends, it would be a nice place to sit, unwind and relax. It's not really kid-friendly, though.
We went here and they had a great selection wine plus they had samples of cheese. So you can get everything at once. They also have a seating area inside and out for a glass of wine or beer. Very nice place and friendly people.
When we go to amish country , we always make a stop at Heini's. They have a very good discounton buying three circles of their famous cheeses. Butter cheese, baby lace swiss and colby are our favorites. And we buy exactly that !! They also have a nice selection of marinades, dips and dressings. We stop at Heini's right before we head home. That way we get our cheese home straight away, not letting it sit in the car. What a wonderful place to shop!!
Heini's is a great place that many locals like to frequent on Saturday afternoons. They have a very impressive selection of Ohio wines and cheeses, plus live entertainment from 1 - 4 pm on most Saturdays. They also have a small bar, sandwiches, and wine tastings! If you are looking for something to do, check out Heini's!
Plan your day to arrive around 10:00 AM for opening or later in the day for live entertainment. No matter we you arrive be prepared of samples & samples of cheeses produced locally. The is a small indoor deli & a thrift shop downstairs in back if you belly does not get full & the other many items offered inside the market does not meet all your needs.
This is not the massive cheese factory but rather a really nice wine and beer retail store. They easily have the largest selection of drinks in the Ohio Amish country. They must have great distributors because they have tons of high quality brands. They also have a few beer taps in the back. They do have a small selection of cheese, meats and other snack type items.
They had live entertainment while we were there and a large variety of wine. The place was packed!, overall it was OK just nothing really special about the place
We were pleasantly surprised to find Heini's open in Sugarcreek until 7:00pm. We ordered from the draft beer selection, which was very impressive. There is a small menu with appetizers and sandwiches, and the service is good. The concept includes a large area in the middle of the store for seating, in addition to the beer section, wine section, and delicatessen. The wine tastings were offered for local Ohio wines, however there is a decent selection of both white and red wine at prices comparable to what we would pay outside of Amish country. We will definitely visit again!
We stopped in to get some cheese and we pleased with the large selection of both cheese and wine. Would recommend making a stop in you are in the area.
