Cars & Cheese is pretty informal around here.
Let's do this Saturday 4-6 in Kent!
Anytime you feel like taking a drive, stop in and say hi.
Let's talk cars. Great roads. Vintage vehicles. New projects. Detailing products. Rallys. Road trips. The best route you discovered by accident. Or just about anything that involves happy times behind the wheel.
Grab some lunch, enjoy a little cheese, maybe a glass of rosé, and spend some time with fellow enthusiasts.
At WKNDDRVR and 109 Cheese Kent, it's never really about the destination anyway. It's about the drive, the people you meet along the way, and finding your way back again.

Days like this are why we live where we do.
The doors are open in Kent, the patio is ready, lunch is being made, and the gallery is waiting for anyone looking to slow down for a bit. Come by for a sandwich, some cheese for the weekend, or just an excuse to take the scenic route.
If Ridgefield is your stop, Sammi and Jemma are there to help with everything from tonight's dinner to this weekend's gathering.
No matter which shop you visit, we're grateful you're part of what makes these places special.
See you soon. 🧀❤️🚗☀️

Cars & Cheese this Saturday 4-6
The weather looks a whole lot better, so we're doing Cars & Cheese this Saturday because... well, we can.
If you're out for a drive, in the neighborhood, or just looking for an excuse to get out of the house, stop by and say hi. Bring the car, bring a friend, or just bring yourself.
We'll have great cheese, good food, a little rosé, and plenty of people who appreciate a good road and the stories that come with it.
No pressure. No judging. Just a relaxed afternoon at WKNDDRVR.
Take the long way.
See you in Kent.

Memorial Day weekend brings the unofficial start of summer
but at its heart, it’s a time to remember.
To pause for those who gave everything, and for the families who carry that sacrifice every day.
As we gather around the table this weekend, let’s take a quiet moment of gratitude for the freedoms that make these moments possible. Let’s also remember those who continue to serve and those around the world who fight every day in the hope of peace, freedom, and democracy.
And let’s not take any of it for granted — choosing instead to live with kindness, respect, compassion, and a little more care for one another.

As we head into the weekend, the earth is starting to show off a bit…
Brighter colors, longer days, and those early sunrises that make you pause for a second. The drives are back. The boat is calling (when the weather cooperates). And there’s that feeling again — that we should probably be outside a little more.
Watching the Artemis mission, seeing Earth from a distance like that… it does something.
It reminds you how beautiful this place really is. How small the noise can feel. How much there is right here that’s worth slowing down for.
Bandit seems to have it figured out.
He reminds us to take the moment when it shows up… not rush past it.
We try to do the same.
When we can, we gather around food, wine, and good friends — simple things that turn into great moments.
That’s really what this season is about for us.
We hope you’ll join us this spring and summer. We’re looking forward to bringing back some of our cheese and wine classes, along with a few fun things we’ve been working on for Kent.
More reasons to take a drive, spend some time in WKNDDRVR, and enjoy the day a little differently.
Because when the world feels a little chaotic, we hope 109 can be a place where things slow down… and feel good again.
Maybe it’s just a glass of wine on the porch… a simple meal at the table… or a quiet moment by the water.
Whatever it is — don’t miss it

Our First Spring Second Saturday!
Vintage Cars, Great Co-Pilots, Picnics and Boat Time!
We’re starting to feel it…
Windows down, longer drives, and that pull to just get out and go. The kind of days where the road matters as much as the destination — and maybe even a little more.
This weekend feels like the first real step into it.
Make a day of it… either way.
Start in Ridgefield with Second Saturday — Gary will be pouring wines from 12–5, and our neighbors Sarah and Bernard from à table will be right next door, joining in as always. It’s the perfect place to begin — something to taste, something to eat, and a little inspiration for what comes next.
Then head north to Kent. Spend some time in WKNDDRVR, our gallery space inside 109 Cheese & Wine, and settle in for a bit. The patio is open, the pace is slower, and it’s the kind of place you end up staying longer than you planned.
Or do it the other way around.
Start with a drive to Kent — take the long way, walk through the gallery, grab something to eat, sit outside for a while — then make your way down to Ridgefield to catch the tasting and see what Gary has open.
Either way… it works.
Cheese, wine, a good drive, and a little time to enjoy it all.
Bandit’s already leaning into it… ears up, taking it all in, ready for wherever the road goes next.
Stop by, grab something good, and make a day of it.
