Cheese Festival-Goers Had a Darn 'Gouda' Time [PHOTOS]

The 7th Annual Artisan Cheese Festival finale presented attendees with an assortment of delectable cheeses, wine and beer.

Walking into the 7th Annual Artisan Cheese Festival tent at the Petaluma Sheraton Hotel might as well been a trip into paradise. Attendees were immediately doused with the aroma of smoked cheddars, aged goudas and buttery bries.

The Artisan Cheese Tasting & Marketplace finale brought together more than 75 artisan cheesemakers, winemakers, brewers and chefs to sample and sell their products in this feast for the senses.

Maps, wine glasses, and cooler tote bags were provided upon entrance as attendees attempted to navigate the maze of cheese, wine and beer. Oh, and Petaluma’s own Three Twins Ice Cream was there for a perfect dessert finish.
