"The San Francisco Ferry Building's Grand Hall was a turophile's (cheese lover's) dream on September 13, 2025, as cheesemakers and cheese eaters alike gathered for the 10th Annual SF Cheese Fest. Hosted by the California Artisan Cheese Guild, this year's event boasted the following: Over 400 attended who came from 9 states and 4 countries. Most came from throughout California, primarily San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area-including members of the San Francisco Bay Times team."
"The sold-out VIP Early Entry experience featured a raclette grazing table, curated bites, samples of limited-edition cheeses, and a cheese knowledge scavenger hunt. It was an opportunity to chat with the cheesemakers, renowned cheesemongers, experts, and other turophiles an hour before doors opened for general admission. (Thanks to Juliana Uruburu of Market Hall Foods for helping out with that scavenger hunt, which was challenging!)"
"16 vendors served specialty food and beverages to pair with the cheese, including charcuterie, chocolates, honey, preserves, oils, vinegars, and snacks. Some of the best honey our Bay Times attending team members ever tasted was offered by Moon Shine Trading Co. ( https://zspecialtyfood.com/) at this event. The bags of heirloom apples from Gold Ridge Organic Farms ( https://www.goldridgeorganicfarms.com/) were also incredible and a reminder of California's high-quality produce at this early harvest time of year."
