Marin County artisan cheese trail offers local tasting experiences

Marin County offers an artisan cheese trail featuring several historic and local creameries. The experience includes stops at the Marin French Cheese Company, which has been in operation since 1865, and the Nicasio Valley Cheese Company, a Swiss-rooted creamery founded by the Lafranchi family.

Visitors can also travel to Tomales Bay to visit the Giacomini Dairy, home to The Fork at Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company. The area provides various activities such as cheese tastings, farm brunches by appointment, and marketplace shopping. The California Cheese Trail, an interactive map founded by Vivien Straus, serves as a guide to various creameries, tasting rooms, and cheese-centric events in the region.
