The Big Cheese (Festival)

June 1, 2024

We have two words for you: Cheese Fest. That’s right—Leelanau Cheese returns with their 2024 Cheese Fest on June 8 with a full day of turophile fun. You’re going to want to set aside the whole day starting at 10am, when you can choose between a mozzarella-making workshop ($50), watching the Cheese Olympics, or taking a cheese cave tour. Then it’s onto cheese tastings ($25), chocolate and cheese pairings ($25), and a fromage workshop ($50). And there’s even more dairy to delight in, with an Ice Cream 101 class with Hudsonville Ice Cream Company on-site! Kiddos will enjoy crafts, a petting zoo, and face painting while grown-ups explore the cheese market. A wine and cheese pairing class with Black Star Farms and a “Meet the Cheesemaker” session round out the day. Details and tickets are available at leelanaucheese.com/pages/cheese-fest.
