Whew!
The Fourth Annual California’s Artisan Cheese Festival just finished with the final day-long event for retailers and chefs.

We want to thank all of you who attended the festival, along with the many talented cheesemakers, presenters, chefs, handmade food makers, wineries and breweries who tantalized our tastebuds all weekend. And to our wonderful staff and delightful volunteers – thank you for your hard work and great attitude throughout.

We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our generous sponsors, including our Ambassador Cheesemaker sponsors and our many community sponsors. They make this nonprofit festival possible. Thank you!

Well... we hope you had some fun, learned a thing or two about artisan cheese, found a few new cheeses to enjoy, and came to know just how many talented cheesemakers and artisan foodmakers are in our own backyard – and their numbers are growing!

Important news — the dates of the Fifth Annual California’s Artisan Cheese Festival are March 25-28, 2011.

We will be back in touch with you on this website and on our Facebook page with news and useful information about artisan cheese between now and next year.

Until then, enjoy artisan cheese and all of the wonderful handmade foods that are becoming available.

Our best regards on behalf of the entire festival team,
Lynne Devereux, Executive Director
Tom Birdsall, President
California’s Artisan Cheese Festival
