This Cheese Tour was absolutely fabulous. I had NO IDEA there was such a depth of things that go into good cheeses. Leena was extremely knowledgeable about it all and we learned a ton. And bought some to take home. We paired this with their Chocolate Tasting session and learned even more. The location is indeed a bit off the beaten path and a bit small. But it was really, really worth the visit. Don't let the Google Maps "Temporarily Closed" notice confuse you. Google does that because they don't have fixed OPEN hours, but are rather by appointment only when they get bookings.
