McMinnville Deserves Some Damn Good Cheese.

Nestled in the heart of Oregon’s wine country, on the native Kalapuya lands, you’ll ­find McMinnville, Oregon: a warm, inviting, and genuinely friendly community. Whether it’s the nostalgic feeling of walking below the twinkle-light fi­lled trees lining the historic downtown or enjoying some of the world’s best Pinot noir, you’re sure to experience the warmth of the people you’ll meet in McMinnville.

Mack & Cheese is a nod to the culture of McMinnville and Yamhill County. Our cheese tasting room is in Suite Seven, above La Bella Casa in Historic Downtown McMinnville. One can come for a visit, the view, a taste-or all of the above.

Open Friday & Saturday 4 - 7pm, Mack & Cheese sells bricks, blocks and wedges of world class cheese and offers complimentary tastings for Culture Club members. Private parties and tastings are also available.

Who’s Picking These Cheeses Anyway?

Meet Erin, the Mind and Mongress behind Mack & Cheese.

Erin Morgan Bowman has lived in McMinnville for nearly 30 years. She was recruited by the McMinnville Downtown Association during the revitalization of the 500 block of Third Street, led by Marilyn and Matt Worrix’s Tempo Building and McMenamins Hotel Oregon. Erin and her husband Marc founded Mes Amies Ladies Fineries in 1998 and Hopscotch Toys in 2001. The Bowmans sold both businesses in 2003, which allowed Erin to focus on raising their three daughters and supporting Marc’s growing career in technology. In 2011 Erin became a partner in 4 elements yoga studio, and Marc started a sensor technology firm in McMinnville in 2017. Today, the Bowmans’ commitment to small business and community has never been stronger.

Erin grew up in Lincoln City, Oregon, where her grandparents owned two grocery stores. “I’ve always loved grocery shopping. I take time to write a list and menu plan. I mindfully choose my ingredients, imagining their origins. I sometimes get lost in the fresh smells of the produce department but most of all, I love cheese.” Further inspired by international travels to France and the growing wine industry, Erin and Marc are throwing their hats in the local food scene with Mack & Cheese, a downtown fromagerie and gathering space.

In addition to tasting, selling and hosting cheese events, the suite of offices will also be the home of Erin Bowman Yoga. “Yoga in the morning, cheese all afternoon.” And really, when you think about it, yoga and cheese have a lot in common. 

For more than 5,000 years, humans have been making cheese in nearly every corner of the world. Similarly, the true age of yoga is unclear, but artifacts and ancient texts suggest that the practice has been part of the human experience for more than 4,000 years. It’s impossible for Bowman to imagine a world without cheese or yoga. 

“Our family loves McMinnville and we are so grateful for the chance to learn new skills, meet folks and host old friends. With so many wine tasting opportunities downtown, we’re thrilled to jump in and share our love for all kinds of culture—pun intended.” Mack & Cheese is located above La Bella Casa in Suite Seven, the previous home of the International Pinot Noir Celebration.

Mack & Cheese will be serving the community with subscription cheeses, just like a wine membership with monthly allotments and tastings.
