Explore the Vermont Cheese Trail

We have over 40 different cheesemakers in Vermont and you can visit them in every corner of the state!  You can use the Vermont Cheese Trail to see who is open to the public and when, who offers tours or cheesemaking viewing, and where they are.  Use the trail to craft your own visit to Vermont, knowing you will eat VERY well along the way!
