Meet California’s cheesemakers; visit a cheese maker; take a farm tour; and learn about the wide variety of cheeses available. Some cheesemakers are open to the public on a regular basis, some are open seasonally or by appointment and some are just plain too busy making cheese.
Take one of the suggested tours of open sites (which are open on a regular basis), or plan ahead by checking with the cheesemakers that have occasional on-farm tours (listed as Contact for Appointment on the map). Check the map for times and availability. Some reservations need to be made in advance.
