Successful applicants will meet and receive mentorship from Britain’s most renowned cheesemakers and in doing so, have the opportunity to expand their knowledge on every aspect of production from its history through to herd, cheesemaking and maturing processes, agriculture sustainability, and future-proofing.

It's official, our travel season has started! The Cheese Journeys team and I leave for Belgium and The Netherlands at the end of April where we'll host a new group of travellers for 10 days. We'll also be joined by professional food photographer, Winter Caplanson, to capture every moment of this epic culinary tour – so make sure you're following us on Instagram for live coverage.
P.S When I’m not hosting tours over the coming months, I’ll be scouting and putting the finishing touches on several new journeys including Paris and Normandy, Alsace and Champagne, Switzerland and a long awaited tour to Spain!
