A Statewide Celebration of Cheese, Culture, and Culinary Adventure
Get ready to cut the cheese (and taste it, pair it, melt it, and swoon over it) because Vermont Cheese Week is back and more delicious than ever!
Save the date! From September 6–13, 2025, the entire state of Vermont transforms into a playground for cheese lovers during this weeklong, statewide celebration of Vermont’s most iconic, beloved, and creamy creation.
Whether you’re a hardcore cheese lover, a curious foodie, or just looking for an excuse to road trip through Vermont’s rolling Green Mountains, this festival offers more cheese than you can shake a sheep at.
This isn’t your average food fest. It’s a full-bodied, flavor-packed celebration of the people, animals, and land that make Vermont cheese so legendary.
