It’s a big weekend for cheese lovers in Nashville. Greys Fine Cheeses’ first-ever Cheese Festival is taking over Southern Grist’s Nations taproom on Sunday, Sept. 8 from 12 to 4 p.m.
Think of the festival as a “walkable charcuterie board” with cheeses from over 20 cheesemakers, cured meats, and jams. Beyond the bites, attendees can expect demonstrations and educational panels. Here’s a slice of the schedule:
- 1 p.m. | Tips on creating your own cheese board
- 1:30 p.m. | “Intro to Cheese — From Brie to Blue”
- 2 p.m. | Parm cracking event with history and a weight guessing contest
- 3 p.m. | “Artisan Cheese Making in the South” educational panel
- 3:30 p.m. | “History of Bavarian Cheese” educational panel with Norbert Stieghart
Each ticket ($75 plus tax) is an all-inclusive pass to the event. Additional cheese-centric dishes prepared by Southern Grist’s chef Andrew Coins will be available for purchase.
