The 10th Annual SF Cheese Fest - 2025

Whether made from cow, goat, sheep, or water buffalo milk...

California's artisan cheesemakers are producing some of the tastiest and most exciting cheeses in the country. At the SF Cheese Fest, a multitude of the Golden State's best artisan cheesemakers will gather to present and sample their delicious hard work and mingle with guests, at the Ferry Building Grand Hall in San Francisco.

The cheeses will be paired with preserves, chocolate, and charcuterie as well as plenty of local beer and wine. While sipping and sampling, guests will enjoy a stunning view of the San Francisco bay, live music by Brooke & Mike, and an amazing grazing table created by Ollie's American Cheese + Provisions.
