Wine and Cheese Shops in Montana's Yellowstone Country
Montana was traditionally known as a meat and potatoes kind of state — with good reason, producers raise some delicious beef around here. In fact, Manhattan, Montana, is one of the state's agricultural gems with an abundance of seed potato, dairy, and beef farms. You can still find a great steak at most restaurants, but you will also find a variety of delicious delicacies, including two of our favorites, wine and cheese.
Babcock and Miles
Red Lodge, MT
Wine Club Available
Carrying 50-80 different cheeses at a time, you'll find unique varieties that are not traditional to local grocers. Many of the wines they serve come from family-owned boutique producers who tend to produce smaller quantities, so you'll likely find some new brands on these shelves as well.
The Gourmet Cellar
Livingston, MT
Wine Club Available
You'll want to spend some time perusing this gourmet shop with over 400 wines from Spain, Italy, France, South Africa, Australia, California, and the Pacific Northwest. They also have a fantastic selection of party foods and gifts – a one-stop shop for entertaining!
The Cave Spirits and Gifts
Big Sky, MT
Wine Club Available
Featuring wines from 18 different countries, you'll find something for every type of wine lover. Order ahead, and The Cave will have it ready for pick up or delivery!
Hungry Moose Market and Deli
Big Sky, MT
Wine Club Available
With two locations, at Big Sky Resort and Town Center, Hungry Moose makes it easy to pick up wine and nibbles, après ski, hike, or other adventures.

Joe's Parkway
Bozeman, MT
Discounts on six or more bottles
One of the original gourmet markets, Joe's, has a hearty wine selection and an even better cheese selection. They often have samples of various kinds to try in-store, and they make an excellent charcuterie box that works well for picnics or other outdoor adventures.
Maven's Market
Bozeman, MT
Carrying over 100 meats and cheeses, Maven's brings unique flavors from around the world. Their local wine label, Maven's Cellars, is a lovely compliment to their gourmet foods. Cozy up in their tasting room with a cheese board, or order one for your next event – they are a real showstopper!
Blend
Bozeman, MT
Wine Club Available
A Bozeman winery, Blend makes locally crafted wines from Washington grapes and then brings them back to Montana to age gracefully. Their charcuterie and other small bites are excellent to share in their classy ambiance – and be sure to watch the schedule for everything from live music to swing dances!
PLONK
Bozeman, MT
Bozeman's original wine bar, PLONK, is still a local favorite. They have an exceptional wine list, and the private cellar is available for small events accommodating up to 24 people. (Their sister restaurant, J.W. Heist, also boasts a stellar wine list.)
Mischa's
Bozeman, MT
The newest wine shop, Mischa's, focuses on natural wines, gourmet snacks, and meats. Their selection rotates often, so you'll want to check back frequently for the latest labels.
Bozeman Wine Gallery
Bozeman, MT
Wine Club Available
Arguably the most extensive wine selection in the region, Bozeman Wine Gallery is a great place to explore your palette. Give them your favorite flavor profiles, and they will guide you to new flavors that will appeal to your tastes! Or, watch for their featured wines each month and explore on your own.
Vino Per Tutti
Bozeman, MT
Wine Club Available
Meaning "wines for everyone," Vino per Tutti lives up to its name with a hearty selection of wines at various price points (including beer, sake, and cider.) And, if you're looking to learn more, their tasting series is so popular it sells out in advance!
Primal
Four Corners, MT
While meat, seafood, and pre-made salads are the specialty here, Primal also has a stellar wine list. They lean toward the finer wines and cheeses, but we have yet to be disappointed by anything in this powerhouse of a gourmet store.
