Hours of Operation

Venissimo was founded by Gina & Roger Freize in San Diego, California, in 2003. But it almost never happened! The owner of the retail space was not interested in leasing a little wedgie to an unknown business in an unknown industry (who wants to buy just cheese?). After spending more than four months faxing reasons to let Venissimo in, Gina overheard that the owner would be at the site on a certain day. So she snuck in with a cheese plate to let the product & presentation speak for itself. Needless to say, the owner was convinced & agreed to the deal the very next day!

if you love cheese ... this is the ONLY place for you to visit when planning a wine & cheese gathering. not only is the selection diverse and the best that can be found in San Diego county, but they are generous with their tasters - and when you get your receipt, it shows each cheese you purchased AND what best to pair / serve it with. Incredible service, amazing cheese. You can't go wrong with Venissimo.

Not only do they have a great selection of cheeses and knowledgeable staff to help you with your selections but they also have records of your previous purchases, a fun cheese newsletter and cheese-making classes!

you can count on this cheese shop to provide the best in cheese. The staff can assist with decisions if you've tasted a few and still can't make up your mind. And....with each purchase comes a description of the cheese so you can impress your guests.
