 The WNC Cheese Trail has made the difficult decision to cancel this year's Carolina Mountain Cheese Fest due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. The numbers in North Carolina are slowly improving, but we believe it is still not prudent to hold the event and put our cheese fans, cheese makers, vendors, and volunteers at risk of potential exposure. We want to be part of moving the numbers in the right direction, and given that this event is so popular and well attended, we fear holding it this fall may risk contributing to further community spread.  



2020 ticket holders have been contacted via the email address used when purchasing tickets.


If you have any questions or comments please contact the festival director, Katie Moore at wncctcmcf@gmail.com.

Below are ways to support our Trail cheese makers and other members during the Covid-19 crisis.

This is a critical time for our nation as we address the challenges presented by the Covid-19 crisis.  Top priority is to stay healthy and work to prevent the spread of Covid-19.  We also want the small businesses that are unique to our region, and an important part of our economy, to make it through.  We encourage you to review the suggestions below and help our Trail members in this time of need. 

Become a Cheese Fan

Join the WNC Cheese Trail and support our work.  Click HERE to learn how to become a member.

Buy Direct - check with our cheese makers to see how they're selling their products

Visit the WNC Cheese Trail Cheese Maker page on the Trail website.  There you'll find direct links to our local cheese makers.  Some are offering online sales w/shipment, others are offering online orders w/pick-up, and some are offering curbside pick up at their creameries.  Call first to see the best way for you to get your cheese fix!
