Wisconsin Cheese

Craving something crispy, melty, and fried to golden, salty perfection? Or maybe even something…squeaky? You’ve come to the right place—Wisconsin’s curd game is off the charts. With several spots duking it out for the title of “state’s best curd,” your crew can determine the best bite in town. Cheese pull, anyone?

Many cheesemakers call our Dairyland home, but only a few have mastered the craft for over a century. Across the state you'll find charming shops that are aged to perfection, pairing well with your next family outing. Milk cows, tour farms and taste the freshest fare you can get your hands on—made right before your eyes.

From exquisite household varieties to best-in-show bites, cheesemaking is seriously decorated in Wisconsin. And here, you can go beyond the products stocked on the shelves and tour the farms and facilities that make them. Take your taste tour from the Driftless Region up to Eau Claire, and savor (or share) each sample.

Take in the rolling hills of the Driftless with a glass of local wine and a cheeseboard to share. In Green County, lush farmland and vast vineyards pair perfectly with the area’s gather-together culture. So, share some sips, try something savory and spend time with your company enjoying the state's natural bounty.
