Pro tips to help you make a pick

Museum entry tickets include full access to all exhibits, interactive displays, and a guided tasting of four French cheeses.

Cheese-making workshop is held at a separate location (the Cheese School) and does not include museum entry, which must be booked separately.

French cheese tasting and pairing sessions are held in the cellar beneath the museum, but don’t include entry to the museum exhibits.

Book 1–2 weeks in advance, especially for weekends, holidays, or if you're eyeing a workshop or cheese pairing sessions, they can fill up fast!
