About

Maine has over 80 licensed cheesemakers, one of the largest amounts per capita of any US state! In this class, participants will be introduced to six different Maine creameries and hear the stories of the cheesemakers behind them - while sampling their delicious products!

Your Maine Tasting Center guide will walk you through a snack-sized tasting menu of Maine cheeses and accompaniments. Feeling thirsty? A curated local adult beverage flight designed to pair with the tasting menu is available for purchase on-site for guests ages 21+.

This guided, 30-60 minute experience is a fantastic introduction to Maine's cheese landscape, history and culture. We recommend scheduling this class at the beginning of your time in Maine so you can take advantage of all you've learned during the rest of your trip. Stick around afterwards for personalized recommendations from your MTC host about wineries, breweries, markets, farms and other agritourism experiences to seek out while in Maine - customized to your interests and the regions you plan to visit while in Maine.
