Taste Point Reyes Cheese, Point Reyes Station

Taste Point Reyes Cheese, Point Reyes Station

Soft cheese samples at the Point Reyes cheese marketplacePoint 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

Cows along the road to the Point Reyes cheese tastingThe 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!

Make sure to check out the patio and the garden. All comes with a healthy portion of country air!
