It includes the tasting of over a dozen artisan cheeses and paired beverages.  The class is focused on cheeses made according to European styles and methods and the burgeoning local cheese movement in the area. You will come away with a new appreciation of the exquisite cheeses available locally and know  where to buy them, serve them, cut them, cook with them, pair them, taste them, store them and much more. We also serve appetizers and dessert. Come hungry!

Who I Am: I am Tonya Harmon and I've been studying the art of cheese for over 15 years including  the study of the science and technology of cheese making at the University of Guelph in Canada and with cheesemakers in Europe and in North America. I've been teaching artisan cheese "classes " for the last five years in several countries.  In the past year I've taught hundreds of people what I've learned with the goal of encouraging others to enthusiastically search out and support their local artisan cheese makers.
