Don’t wait to get your tickets for California’s premier cheese event, the 19th Annual California Artisan Cheese Festival, March 21-23, 2025. This year, 5% of net proceeds will be donated to World Central Kitchen to support Southern California wildfire relief. The Festival is presented by the California Artisan Cheese Guild.
Cheese lovers won’t want to miss the grand finale Artisan Cheese Tasting and Marketplace. In addition, spots are still available for Saturday’s pairing seminars and workshops taking place in tasting rooms throughout Sonoma County.
This year, the Artisan Cheese Tasting and Marketplace will feature 21 cheesemakers and more than 80 vendors. Turophiles who want a head start before the doors open at noon can still get tickets for Bubbles + Bites and Early Entry. Guests of Bubbles + Bites will enjoy a glass of bubbly and cheesy breakfast bites with host Clark Wolf, who will share his insights on some of the new and exciting vendors and products being offered at the Marketplace for the rest of the day.
"We’re so happy to welcome everyone to this year’s Festival,” says Candace Allen, president of the California Artisan Cheese Guild, in a recent press release. “Our farm tours are almost all sold out along with the Cheese Crawl, but we still have some spots left for the Saturday seminars and the Sunday Marketplace. We’re urging folks not to wait to buy their tickets.” She adds, “We will have over 100 cheeses to taste and purchase at the marketplace and accompaniments like charcuterie, chocolate, honey, nuts, preserves, and sauces. And there will be live music, a beer and wine garden, and an authors’ corner. It’s going to be a joyful celebration of community and cheese!"
