Point Reyes blue cheese is my go-to blue cheese. It was a real treat to see where the cheese comes from – the pastures and the cows.
The road towards the market is winding and narrow. You may need to pull over to let the ongoing traffic pass. On our way back, a cow was blocking traffic. But after we took her picture, she gracefully moved away.
The cheese tasting was in the little market. Note: The signage was a bit confusing – all we saw was a ‘No Access’ sign. We wandered around a bit before finding the stairs to the entrance. But the gift shop was lovely. With a warm welcome, we were educated about the cheeses and enjoyed all of them! The fennel blue cheese was my favorite!
For our picnic, we picked out a soft, ripe cheese and a passion fruit jam.
Make sure to check out the patio and the garden. All comes with a healthy portion of country air!

What is your favorite cheese?
I did not receive any compensation for this post.
If you are more into goat cheese I highly recommend Hartley’s Farm in Pescadero.
