As the oldest cheese store in all of Wisconsin, the Baumgartner's Cheese Store and Tavern holds a special place in the local community’s heart. Baumgartner’s has been making the finest cheese in the state available to patrons since 1931 from their tavern which is conveniently located in the heart of a small but beautiful Swiss community in Monroe.


Baumgartner’s produces a fine selection of cheese ranging from Cheddar, Swiss, Mild White, and Blue or Washed Rind cheeses, but they also carry imported cheeses along with other specialty foods. Visitors can also visit Baumgartner’s Tavern to taste spectacular offerings created from Baumgartner’s products and cheeses.
