Piedmont, Italy - Slow Food Cheese Festival - September 15-September 22, 2027
This tour is for the obsessed – a trip to the ultimate cheese party! Join us for Slow Food’s biennial CHEESE festival in Bra, where the entire town shuts down and fills with raw-milk cheesemakers from around the world. It’s an extravaganza of tastings, pairings, workshops, bar crawls, street food vendors, and talks by artisans. You’ll explore wild cheeses rarely seen anywhere else, along with exquisite Italian accompaniments, from Barolo wines, to charcuterie, chocolates, breads, and honeys. If you want to be among the dairy hardcore – what we dubbed “The Burning Man of Cheese” in a Food and Wine article – join us for a week in Piedmont, at our favorite villa. We handle all the details, from transport to and from the festival each day, to delicious meals prepared by our private chefs, along with VIP experiences. Believe us, after jam-packed days at the festival, you’ll be glad to retire to a small village where drinks by the pool await and home-cooked meals are served in a relaxing stone courtyard. Plus, you’ll have our star cheese educators alongside you at all times to answer questions, offer tips, and point out not-to-be-missed festival highlights. Join us for Cheese Journeys: The Hardcore Edition!

Alsace, France Cheese Journey - September 30-October 9, 2027
Join Cheese Journeys Founder and Owner Anna Juhl with her team on a personalized grand tour of Alsace, Anna’s home away from home. Nestled against Germany and Switzerland, this charming region of France is known for its half-timbered houses overflowing with window boxes, its award-winning wines, cheeses, and sausages, along with divine breads and pastries. Fancy a great glass of Riesling and a hearty meal of choucroute, followed by a luscious wedge of Munster? Look no further than Alsace, which has been making this famous cheese since the 7th century!
You’ll stay in castle-like accommodations with stunning views overlooking Colmar, enjoy regional dishes prepared by our private chefs, and explore the Alsatian wine route in style with Grand Cru tastings and stops to meet premier producers. Anna will also introduce you to her favorite spots around Strasbourg, from markets and bakeries to the town’s local cheese shop, La Cloche, which has a glass-domed cheese table so large that it appears in the Guinness Book of World Records!
With daytrips, cooking classes, and private tastings, you’ll explore Alsace in a way few travelers ever do, with behind-the-scenes tours and Cheese Journeys’ five-star hospitality. Pick up a French tablecloth from Beauvillé linens in Ribeauville, descend into a cave below Strasbourg for a world-class meal with locals, enjoy a “cheese ceremony” at Fromagerie Antony where they age cheese to perfection and serve them at peak ripeness in an exquisite wood-lined tasting room.
If you love wine, cheese, beer, antiques, flowers, and culinary experiences, join us for this long-awaited exploration of Rhine River culture. Fly into Paris, and join us for a tour kick-off in Strasbourg, then let us whisk you away for a 10-day food adventure of a lifetime!

Hello, Wine & Cheese Lovers! Join Anna Juhl, CEO/ Founder of Cheese Journeys and Emilio Mignucci of Di Brunos and the team at Cheese Journeys on a culinary adventure focused on the Burgundy and Jura regions of France, and the Alpine regions of Switzerland.
You’ll meet in Geneva, Switzerland then set off for a leisurely day in Annecy – one of the most picturesque lake towns in Europe – before heading to our beautifully restored château in Burgundy, France. The region is known for its exquisite wines, triple crème cheeses, Époisses cheese, Dijon mustard, and gourmet delicacies that include truffles and spice bread.
Enjoy gourmet meals prepared by our private chefs, along with culinary excursions and historic site visits including wine caves built by the Romans, the world-famous Hospices de Beaune, and a spectacular farmers’ market where you’ll find French specialty foods, antiques, and souvenirs.
Throughout your château stay, you’ll have free time to relax by the pool, bike around the countryside, or work out in the private gym. Plus, your schedule includes cooking classes, private tastings of wine, cheese, and cocktails -- all taught by local experts and our co-hosts.
During this 8-night Burgundy stay, you’ll visit world-class wine producers, meet iconic cheesemakers, learn from local experts, sample specialties from regional artisans, and enjoy a private invitation from the château’s owner to taste his own personal selection of Grand Cru wines (9,000 bottles). Most are never sold to the public.
Heading east to the Jura during the second part of your Cheese Journey, you’ll spend a day with the brilliant affineurs at Marcel Petite’s “Cathedral of Comté,” enjoying France’s favorite cheese. You’ll stay in Gstaad, the ultimate Swiss mountain village, experience alpage cheesemaking, a vineyard wine tasting, cow bells, Swiss chocolate, and a private invitation to the festivities of a cow parade!
