What to expect
You'll arrive at a working cheesery where your guide will present each of the five cheeses in turn. Expect to handle and taste them while hearing details about their origins, the milk used, ageing processes and the alpine and coastal landscapes that influence their character. The pace is unhurried, with room for questions. The cellar itself—cool, aged, lined with wheels and rounds—sets the mood. This is a tasting, not a heavy meal; come with an appetite for flavour and curiosity rather than hunger.
Good to know
The cellar stays cool year-round. Service animals welcome. Public transport nearby if you're without a car. Check allergens in advance if you have sensitivities. Allow time to browse the shop if you want to buy cheese after.
