Longmont is home to the Art of Cheese, an artisan cheesemaking school that is perfect for visitors, aspiring home cheese-makers, or people who just love cheese! There are several different classes to choose from: cheese and liquor pairings, cheesemaking 101, holiday cheesemaking, date nights, hard cheese classes, soft cheese classes, private group classes and cheese bootcamps! All classes take place at Briar Gate Farm. Ranging from a few hours to multi-day sessions, these classes give you the hands-on approach on how to select milk, pasteurize, make different cheese varieties, wax rinds and conduct cheese pairings. Come hungry because there is a lot of sampling involved as well! Some of the classes even have you take home your cheese creations!
