California’s Artisan Cheese Festival is a fun and lively weekend filled with tours, workshops, wine, beer, and cider pairings, chef demos, dinners, and the popular Artisan Cheese Tasting and Marketplace. Festival attendees learn how to taste, buy, serve and enjoy distinctive artisan cheeses from the experts. The festival features a wide variety of artisan cheeses from California and beyond, together with their artisan bread, food, wine and beer complements.

Since its inception in 2007, 10 percent of all ticket proceeds from California’s Artisan Cheese Festival is donated to nonprofit organizations that work to (1) protect and preserve the lands needed by the artisan cheesemakers for their cows, sheep and goats; (2) train and encourage the next generation of milk producers and cheesemakers; and (3) support the artisan cheesemaking community in California.
