Cheese Factory Tours

No trip to Wisconsin would be complete without a visit to a cheese factory. We are, after all, America'sDairyland! We produce more than 35 percent of all cheese made in the United States. Much of it is made in small, family-owned and operated cheese factories that specialize in award-winning varieties. They welcome visitors. Tours and observation windows are offered by many cheese makers. Mornings are generally best for viewing the cheese making art. Many factories also have retail outlets so you can sample the cheeses, send some as gifts, or take some home as a souvenir of your visit. The cheese factories listed are grouped alphabetically by city within the four quadrants of the state. NOTE: Many factors affect the availability of tours, so be sure to call in advance to confirm the time and date of your visit.
