Vermont Farm tours will offer five cheese tours ($95 per person) throughout the state on
July 24, 2010, the Saturday before the Vermont Cheesemakers festival: a southern tour based
in Manchester, a central tour focused on the Brookfield area, an Addison County tour, a
Hardwick-area tour, and a Shelburne-based wine tour.
Most tours will be limited to 11 guests (the Addison County and wine tours can accommodate more). All tours include transportation, a picnic lunch sourced in Vermont, a tasting at each farm or producer, a Vermont Farm Tours tote to fill with cheese, and tour notes that provide contact information and a brief description of each producer. Tours will begin at 9 or 10am and conclude at 5 or 6pm. For the central and northern tours, guests are encouraged to dine at Bluebird Tavern in Burlington on Saturday night for a Festival-themed menu.
Vermont Farm Tours is also organizing three cheesemaking workshops ($50 per person) taught on small farms in Sudbury, Hinesburg, and Charlotte, Vermont.
