The Vermont Cheese Council invites the Green Mountain State’s most fanatical fanciers of fromage to indulge in a weeklong, statewide dairy bacchanalia. Vermont Cheese Week sees creameries, farms and vineyards throwing parties straight out of a dairy lover’s daydreams. Sample cheddar flights at Billings Farm & Museum, take a guided pasture tour at von Trapp Farmstead, peruse cider and cheese pairings at Eden Cider’s tasting bar in Newport, take a cheese board-building class and join a garden social at Shelburne Farms, sip wine and nibble cheeses at Salt + Bubbles, and indulge in a full-on cheese festival in Grafton.
