San Francisco Wine & Cheese

Walk into San Francisco Wine & Cheese and you’re immediately surrounded by stacks of wine so high you might need a ladder to get them down—this bottle shop has no shortage of variety, though most of the wines are either local or imported from France and Italy. But this place is also home to a fantastic hidden patio . Snake your way through the walls of wine and you’ll find the covered, heated back garden, complete with tables, enough plants to rival the Conservatory of Flowers, and loaded sandwiches or charcuterie to snack on. Head in for some pre-dinner brie, share a prosciutto sandwich and chardonnay before a show nearby, or visit any time you want to experience the great outdoors while staying close to the nearest glass of wine.
