The Cheese and Culture Festival brings together Vermont cheesemakers, producers of cultured and fermented foods, bakers, brewers, cider, wine, mead makers and charcuterie, for a day of tasting, education and celebration. The event will present a robust schedule of demonstrations, workshops and speakers. Cheese and beverage pairings will be offered. The day will culminate with live music from a favorite local band.
 
The Cheese and Culture Festival will occur alongside Cabot’s annual Fall Foliage Festival which will add pop-up crafts markets, food trucks, farm and leaf-peeping tours, pumpkin carvings, and children’s activities to the celebratory atmosphere.
