River Valley Cheese cheese-making class
Make your own cheese
Nestled in the foothills of the Cascades outside Issaquah, River Valley Cheese offers cheese-lovers the hands-on experience of making the cheese they then get to eat. From brie to burrata, (and some non-cheese classes like wild sourdough, chocolate dipping and instant pot), students can expect an atmosphere full of laughter while demystifying the ancient art of cheese-making. And dress to make a bit of a mess, suggests owner and instructor Kristi Slotemaker.
“The messier the classroom at the end, the better!” she says.
Group size: 4–16
Time Commitment: 2 hours
Cost: $159 (includes all ingredients and instruction, all you can eat cheese buffet during class, and cheese to take home)
