Vermont Cheesemakers Festival 2026
Join us as we celebrate the 14th Annual Vermont Cheesemakers Festival! Spend a wonderful autumn day at the historic Shelburne Farms Breeding Barn celebrating Vermont cheese and making new friends!
Back by popular demand: Meet-a-Cheesemaker Panels! 12:30-1:00pm: The History of Cheesemaking in Vermont and 2:30-3:00pm: Women in Cheesemaking. Panels are free with your ticket; there’s no additional cost to attend panels.
This year’s Cheesemakers Festival is the capstone event of our 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; we do not recommend waiting to purchase.
*Attention retailers, chefs, grocery buyers, distributors, food writers + media, and other industry personnel: our 10:00am-11:30am Industry Hour gives you a chance to connect with our vendors before the general public. Great one-on-one time to get to know our people and products. (Your industry admission covers the 11:30-4:00pm portion of the festival too!)
