9th Annual SF Cheese Fest

Saturday, September 21, 2024 - 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm | Cost: $148.00*
*General Admission: USD 98.00, VIP Early Entry: USD 148.00

Ferry Building | The Embarcadero and Ferry Plaza, San Francisco, CA

Event Details

California’s artisan cheesemakers are producing some of the tastiest and most exciting cheeses in the country. At the Cheesemaker Celebration, a multitude of the Golden State’s best artisan cheesemakers will gather to present and sample their delicious hard work and mingle with guests, at the Ferry Building Grand Hall in San Francisco.

The cheeses will be paired with preserves, chocolate, and charcuterie as well as plenty of local beer and wine. While sipping and sampling, guests will enjoy a stunning view of the San Francisco bay, live music by Brooke and Mike, and an amazing grazing table sponsored by Ollie’s American Cheese + Provisions and Gourmet Imports.

New! VIP Early Entry Cheese Lover’s Paradise offers a behind-the-scenes opportunity for turophiles to deepen their cheese knowledge an hour before doors open. A personal cheese sommelier will take you and a small group of fellow cheese enthusiasts for a curated tour featuring three distinguished cheesemakers that begins and ends with a “best bite” pairing. At each stop you’ll meet the cheese artisan behind the magic, taste, and indulge in cheese discourse. After the tour you’ll have time to mingle, get first dibs on the choicest cheese, and beat the crowds to the bar for a perfectly paired libation. Space is limited and sure to sell out.

SF Cheese Fest is presented by the California Artisan Cheese Guild.
