Vermont Cheesemakers Festival 2026

Join Vermont Cheese Council as we celebrate the 14th Annual Vermont Cheesemakers Festival! Spend a wonderful autumn day at the historic Shelburne Farms Breeding Barn celebrating Vermont cheese! Meet-a-Cheesemaker panels are back by popular demand: The History of Cheesemaking in Vermont and Women in Cheesemaking, both free with your Festival ticket. The Cheesemakers Festival is the capstone event of 2026 Vermont Cheese Week (September 13-20), with special happenings and lodging, retail, and dining specials across the state. This event traditionally sells out in advance; do not wait to buy your ticket! For more information and to purchase tickets, visit https://vtcheese.com/festival.
