★★★★★ Great wine, great people, great local energy
We’ve been guests and members at Half Moon Bay Wine & Cheese for about six years, and it’s such a great spot to pop in for a quick glass at the bar—sometimes before dinner, sometimes that’s the whole plan. Sitting outside on Main Street with a glass of wine and watching people go by is pretty hard to beat.
The wine is consistently excellent—well curated, interesting, and fairly priced for the quality, plus you get to try things you probably wouldn’t pick on your own. The snacks are great, and the cheese selection is always solid.
What really makes this place special is the team: Kerri, Pedro, and Robb. They really know their stuff, keep it casual and fun, and every visit feels like you’re at a friendly local spot.
Also love that they support the community—my wife Haley has done Mom’s Night Out events there, and they host wine events that support local schools and bring people together. Great wine, great people, great local energy.

CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS TO AVOID BEING OVERCHARGED!
$32.00 per glass of champagne on a bottle that costs $59.99. Then, to charge incorrectly to the tune of $128.00 for 2 (two) glasses of champagne. What is wrong with this. Then to be told that it is as my choice to not get a bottle…..geez, that’s a fail on customer service. Do better, especially with locals who will patronize when all the tourist go home.
I will not go back…..

Fantastic wine and cheese shoppe. Aside from the extensive wine offerings, the shoppe has cheeses (of course) and other items that make excellent gifts for oneself or others. The specialty wine bags are fun and the mini fondue pots are also great. I love the whale’s tail cutting board. A clean, tidy, top notch shoppe!

Nice wine and cheese shop in Central Downtown the only downside is the staff isn’t very accommodating. Yes they have lots of wine selections and yes they have a lot of wine accessories but after visiting a few times I’ve just noticed that the staff isn’t very accommodating they tend to say no more than yes they tend to have a lot of rules. If you’re looking for a nice place for you and your date maybe this could be fun. But don’t count on having a lot of great conversations with the staff.

Nice place in the heart of downtown half-moon bay
They have got some really good wines for rating on the bright whites menu (I didn’t try the others)
Really nice server at the bar. Glad to be able to use my 15% off yelp coupon for tasting and cheese.
You get three 2oz portions in each flight.
Good music nice clean interior.
The lady was kind enough to let me choose my own cheese and added fig jam and crackers

We’ve visited this wine tasting room for years when visiting HMB and checked it out last week. We are fans of TJ Rodgers Pinot…and keep in mind, my husband and I have a long history with semiconductor, including TJ and Cypress. We had an opportunity to attend an exclusive tasting at his home early 2000s (est) comparing the most expensive French wines to his Pinot. Super impressed by his wine processing… super tech at the time we were there.
This wine shop offers many options including TJ’s personal wines (he owns this tasting room). We’ve had a good experience over the years but was annoyed by this last visit. The attendant behind the counter was enthralled with the two gals tasting. The customers were rude and had a biting attitude. The attendant had not recognized our existence..,, until my husband I took a lot of interest in TJs wine, in particular. I was ready to leave until she said…. “Did you want to taste his wine”? I am all about customer service and ambiance and environment that invites you to experience the wine room. I told her how annoyed I was and ready to leave. She recalibrated and adjusted to our needs. We ended up purchasing two bottles of TJ’s wine but I was ready to leave and not buy anything.
Not sure who they cater to – locals or vacationers.

From across the country, I ordered a charcuterie board for a very special couple who was visiting Half Moon Bay this past weekend. It was beautifully crafted and was such a delightful surprise for the couple. They sent me a picture. Thank you so much for taking good care of this order, being so easy to work with, and delivering it to them!

Decent selection of wines and cheeses, but the cheese they served on the cheese plate I ordered didn’t match what was on the menu (got a basic Mt. Tam from Cowgirl Creamery instead of the advertised French brie), and service to me and my friend was noticeably distant compared to other customers. I wonder why.

Absolutely fantastic small business, with a very strong focus/emphasis on small production, rare & fine wines, most of which, at very highly competitive pricing! More so, their staff are all super cool, delightful, friendly and accommodating, especially Kerri and Pedro. I’m looking forward to doing more business with them in the future. Highly recommended! 5-stars and A+++++
