Boatshed Cheese

Boatshed Cheese is run by the Archard family from a factory unit in Dromana, where every cheese is handmade on site in French-style soft varieties, made from goat, cow and buffalo milk sourced from across Victoria. A viewing window lets visitors watch the production process as they taste, turning a simple stop into a genuine behind-the-scenes experience. Inside, a nautical theme runs through the fit-out, right down to a repurposed boat used as a tasting table, giving the small factory shop the feel of a proper destination rather than a bare production room. Cheese and charcuterie boards, along with baked brie, are available to eat in, while individual cheeses can also be bought to take home, and the business has picked up industry awards for its handcrafted range. Boatshed Cheese also positions itself as an alternative to a traditional wedding or celebration cake, building tiered cheese displays for weddings, birthdays and corporate functions on request. The shop trades Tuesday to Sunday, closed Mondays, and rewards anyone serious about cheese with tastings across the goat, cow and buffalo range, letting first-time visitors compare styles before committing to a wheel, guided by a team happy to talk through the making process in detail.
