A Vermont Cheese Festival

On Sunday Dave and I spent the day at the Vermont Cheesemakers' Festival at Shelburne Farms. The event showcased dozens of Vermont cheesemakers, wineries, breweries and food producers.

We ate loads of delicious cheese and sampled plenty of local wine and beer. It was a really nice time and the setting was perfect. I just think I'll need to hit the gym later today.

Host Shelburne Farms offered samples of cheese at the event.

Twig Farm was one of my favorites.

    Having spent a lot of time in Wisconsin, I think it's time I make it to Vermont to size up the competition!

    I attended the festival and it was fantastic. I especially loved the "Bijou" cheese and the "Iced Cider"...and let's not forget the Lake Champlain chocolates with sea salt. I can wait to go again next year.
