Cheese lovers, you better sit down for this. Northern California is home to an epic annual cheese festival and it’s an absolute must-visit for foodies. Seriously, this festival promises to be epic in every single way. Located in San Francisco, you will definitely want to plan a trip to The City for this one. Boasting tons of locally made cheese and wine to go with it, this is bound to be a weekend that you remember forever! Take a look:
The most mouthwatering cheese festival is returning to Northern California for the fourth year in a row. The SF Cheese Fest is taking place on September 15 and 16 this year. Believe us. You don't want to miss it!
There's truly no better place to hold an artisan cheese festival than food-obsessed San Francisco. Every year, more than 20 California-based cheesemakers showcase the cream of their crop for hungry festival goers to enjoy. Rub elbows with fellow cheese lovers while enjoying an endless array of dairy delights.
Cheesemakers come from all over the state, so you can bet that you'll be tasting a wide variety of different cheeses. Sierra Nevada Cheese Company, Point Reyes Farmstead, Cypress Grove from Arcata, and Moonside Creamery from Sebastopol will all be there—just to name a few.
The SF Cheese Fest acts as the primary fundraiser for the California Artisan Cheese Guild. The guild is a non-profit organization that has a mission of supporting the Golden State's cheesemaking community through ongoing education of both cheesemakers and consumers. This is definitely a cause we can get behind!
The festival is broken up into two parts: the Cheesemaker Celebration on Saturday and "Cheese School" on Sunday. The celebration will take place in the evening and includes endless tastings of cheese paired with pickles, charcuterie, preserves, and chocolate. There will even be live music for your entertainment.
Sunday will contain a full day's worth of seminars including classes on pairing cheeses with non-alcoholic beverages, the cheese community in California, and how to pair wine with cheese. Afterwards, you'll be able to impress all of your friends with your extensive knowledge about cheese!
The festival will take place at Social Hall SF and The Cheese School of San Francisco. This is an event that you don't want to miss out on so be sure to mark your calendars and prepare your appetite.
