Vermont is famous for its cheese. And for good reason: behind Vermont’s world-class cheeses are inspired farmers, idyllic pastures, intriguing cheese caves, and innovative approaches to cheesemaking. The artisan cheese tour emphasizes the unique personalities, herds, and landscapes that produce an astonishing array of cheeses here in Vermont. Each stop will include a discussion with the cheesemaker and tasting. Be sure to save room for the picnic lunch featuring food from nearby farms.
Driving tour includes a visit to two or three artisan cheesemakers, tour notes, a Farm Tours tote bag, greeting card by local artist Megan Humphrey, an on-farm mozarella cheesemaking demo with the farmer!, cheese tastings, a three-course picnic lunch, local artisan beer or wine and cheese pairing (let me know which you'd prefer), and exclusive entrance into the cheesemaking rooms. The half-day tour visits two cheesemakers with snacks and cheese tastings.
