About this event

The Carolina Mountain Cheese Fest is a lively celebration of Western North Carolina's artisan cheese and dairy community, held at Oak & Grist in Black Mountain. Sample local cheeses, watch cooking and cheesemaking demos, and shop from farm and food vendors, all in support of the nonprofit WNC Cheese Trail. It is a friendly, food-focused day for anyone who loves regional makers and farm-to-table fare. Tickets are required and proceeds benefit the cheese trail, so buy in advance if you can. Plan for on-site or nearby parking and come hungry.
