It’s more cheese than you can shake a sheep at.

Vermont Cheese Week is a state-wide, weeklong celebration designed to feed the fanaticisms of all you cheese lovers out there (We see you.). It’s unique learning, tasting, pairing, and authentic Vermont experiences that celebrate our beloved cheesemakers, and the land and animals that make cheese possible.
