The event will once again feature about 20 cheesemakers sampling some of the finest artisan and farmstead cheeses made in Washington. We will celebrate their artistry, passion and commitment to their craft while sampling fruits of their labor- cheese. Plus several other local artisans will also be sampling their products that will delightfully compliment the cheeses.

Tickets will go on sale online at www.washingtonartisancheese.com in June. In the meantime be sure to like us on Facebook and get updates! 2014 Washington Artisan Cheese Map available this summer

For those you who can't wait until September here's good news. New 2014 edition of the Washington Artisan Cheese Map will be available at cheese shops and specialty food stores near you starting in June.

This free guide contains a Washington cheesemaker directory, a list of retailers who regularly carry Washington cheeses and other useful cheese information. This year's directory lists a whopping 58 Washington cheesemakers, up from 47 in 2013. The directory offers detailed information for each cheesemaker including the milk type (cow, goat, sheep or a combination), operation type (production only, retail shop on site or visits by appointment only), and whether it makes farmstead cheeses (made with milk from its own animals raised on the farm) or offer classes.

The map will be also available for download at www.washingtonartisancheese.com in June.
