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.

First Thing’s First: Consider Your Lodging. Rooms can book up fast in Vermont. If you want to join us for Vermont Cheese Week, we recommend booking early at one of our lodging partners, who are helping us celebrate with promotions, perks, and more. And in early September? The drives will be gorgeous. (Remember: our entire state has no billboards, just the rolling Green Mountains, fertile valleys, and calm lakes.)

We’ll be adding events details, ticket sales, and new partners all summer — from bite-sized to big wheel — but already aged are:

  • A guided cheese tour + tasting by our friends at the award-winning Spring Brook Farm (September 9 • Reading)
