SF CHEESE FEST 2026
The SF Cheese Fest is our annual celebration of everything California artisan cheese, and 2026 marks the 11th year. This year we're heading to Gold Bar Distillery on Treasure Island on Saturday, October 3rd, with views of the San Francisco Bay as the backdrop. Guests spend the evening tasting their way through cheeses, wines, craft beers, and bites from some of California's best makers, plus an endless Grazing Table hosted by the Guild. VIP ticket holders get early access, an exclusive whiskey and cheese pairing, and one-on-one time with the cheesemakers. Tickets go on sale soon — and vendor applications are open now.
The California Artisan Cheese Festival is a vibrant celebration of artisan cheese, bringing together passionate cheesemakers, industry experts, educators, and enthusiasts for a weekend of discovery, connection, and exceptional food. Through tastings, tours, pairings, and educational experiences, the Festival shines a spotlight on the people, craftsmanship, and traditions that make artisan cheese so special.
As a nonprofit organization, the California Artisan Cheese Festival is dedicated to educating consumers, supporting the artisan cheesemaking community and its long-term sustainability, and fostering a deeper appreciation for artisan cheese and the people who create it.
Check back in November for details on the 2027 Festival.
