Wedgewood Cheese Bar, a first for the state, will open its doors in Carrboro this fall.
Context: The bar is the brainchild of cheesemongers and owners of The Cheese Shop, Michelle and Stevie Webb.
- It'll be located in the historic Carolina Car Wash building alongside Belltree Cocktail Club.
Why it matters: Wedgewood is claiming the title of North Carolina's only stand-alone cheese bar and will serve small plates with local, seasonal produce, cured meats and cheeses from around the world.
- Wines will be curated by Rocks + Acid Wine Shop sommelier Paula de Pano.
What's next: The Cheese Shop, which has been operating as a pop-up inside Carrboro's Glasshalfull since 2022, will remain open through the end of this year.
