Celebrating the American Cheese Plate: The Festival of Cheese
The American Cheese Society (ACS) will host its annual Festival of Cheese in beautiful Sacramento, California!
One of the biggest events of its kind, the Festival of Cheese features the 1,700+ American artisan and specialty cheeses from the 2014 ACS Judging & Competition, highlighting the winners across a range of styles. In addition to an awe-inspiring assortment of cheeses, attendees can sample incredible accompaniments ranging from crackers to charcuterie, from preserves to chocolate -- plus wine and craft beer that guests can sample in their commemorative wine glass.
Just some of the items you can sample alongside the many cheeses at this event are:
-Craft beer from Rogue Ales and Goose Island Brewing
