About Cheese Please

Cheese Please is a Tampa favorite that blends two great pleasures: artisan cheese and thoughtfully curated wine. Rated 4.7 out of 5 across 182 reviews, it's earned a loyal following in a city where the food and drink scene keeps raising the bar.

Services & Process

The cheese shop side of the business stocks a rotating selection of domestic and imported cheeses, perfect for building a board at home or pairing on-site. The wine tasting room lets guests sample curated pours in a relaxed, knowledgeable setting without the pressure of a full sit-down restaurant. As a wine bar, you can settle in for a full glass or a flight alongside carefully matched accompaniments. Staff can walk you through pairing suggestions, making each visit genuinely educational.

Service Area

Cheese Please serves Tampa residents and visitors across Hillsborough County, drawing guests from nearby neighborhoods like Hyde Park, South Tampa, and Ybor City. It's also a convenient stop for those coming in from Brandon or the wider Tampa Bay area looking for a quality wine and cheese experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a reservation to visit the wine tasting room?
Walk-ins are generally welcome, but calling ahead is a smart move, especially on weekends when the tasting room fills up quickly. Reservations help ensure you get the full attention and experience you're looking for.
Can I purchase cheese and wine to take home?
Yes, the retail cheese shop side of the business is stocked for take-home purchases, and bottles are available to buy as well. It's a great spot to pick up ingredients for a home charcuterie board or a host gift.
Do they offer private events or buyouts?
Private gatherings can often be arranged for the right group, making it a unique option for birthdays, corporate events, or date nights. Contact them directly at (813) 766-0060 to discuss availability and what a private experience would look like.
What types of wine are typically featured in the tasting room?
The selection rotates and leans toward wines that pair well with cheese, often including a mix of Old World and New World options. Expect to find both familiar varietals and a few more interesting picks that the staff can walk you through.
Is Cheese Please a good spot for wine beginners?
Absolutely. The staff is known for being approachable and genuinely helpful rather than intimidating, which is a big reason why the reviews are so consistently positive. You don't need to know anything about wine to have a great time here.
Are there food options beyond cheese?
The menu typically includes accompaniments like cured meats, crackers, and other items that complement the cheese and wine selections. It's more of a snacking and pairing experience than a full dining one, but it's satisfying either way.
