Vermont Cheesemakers Festival

We’ve been getting questions about the VT Cheesemakers Festival for this year – so here’s the scoop! This year we faced another challenge in location – again needing a new spot to land for the year. Instead of hosting a single event, we decided to experiment with a new weeklong experience we’re calling Vermont Cheese Week September 7-15. It was created by our cheesemakers for the public - just like the fest was, so as you can imagine (just like the fest) it’s going to be amazing!

It includes a mix of special one-time events (like educational events or pairings & tastings) and all week long happenings (like Meet the Maker tastings, picnics, at creamery activities, and more). Some experiences are small and intimate, while others – like our kickoff bash at Harpoon Brewery – will be 500 of our closest cheese friends gettin’ down and cheesy together! For industry-only friends, cheesemongers, and wholesale buyers – there’s the Vermont Cheese Summit, a sampling, networking, and ed event just for you.

We hope you’ll join us for this awesome week of parties, picnics and cookouts, educational and learning events, cheese camps, tours, and uniquely curated Vermont cheese celebrations!

To Plan: Check the schedule, register for the events you like, and get ready to rub elbows with cheesemakers across the state! Use our profile links to see our calendars and get more info; registration is on each calendar event page.

We’ll be highlighting Cheese Week events on our @vtcheese account more than this account – so recommend scootching over to follow us there if you don’t already!
