EMMIE LEWIS
RVA Cheese Girl was created out of a love for hosting and bringing people together. Owner Emmie Lewis is a Virginia Commonwealth University school of business graduate. After college, she began to discover a passion for cheese and wine. She visited winery after winery, in search of the perfect charcuterie board to accompany her adventures. Her pursuits always left her underwhelmed and dissatisfied. Naturally, the driven hostess decided to make her own. She not only made her own cheese boards, but she set out to make the BEST boards in Richmond. Soon, friends and family wanted their very own. Her passion grew into a business. Emmie crowned herself as RVA’s Cheese Girl developing a household brand and website. What started as a side hustle to her traditional job as a commercial insurance broker, quickly turned into a side sprint. She continues to be driven to curate a product that is locally and domestically sourced and brings people together during meaningful moments in their lives. Emmie has managed to grow her business at a rapid pace and this cheese queen has much more up her sleeve for the future.Â
