A showcase of Vermont's small-batch artisan cheese producers, held on the grounds of the Shelburne Farms estate.
Vermont has one of the most active artisan cheesemaking scenes in the United States, and this festival — held on the grounds of the historic Shelburne Farms estate — brings dozens of the state's small-batch producers together for tastings alongside pairings with Vermont beer, wine and spirits.
Workshops on cheesemaking technique run throughout the day, reflecting the festival's genuine focus on craft and process rather than just sampling — a serious event for a state that takes its dairy tradition seriously.
