1.00Overall a very poor experience. No one showed up at the time planned, even after myself and another person that had waited over half an hour after the booked time, tried to get in contact there was no answer. Waste of time.
Defiantly recommend

5.00I really loved this experience. I loved being able to try seven different cheeses and learning the background and the process of how each cheese was made. You also have the opportunity to buy cheese if you liked any and my personal favorite was the head of the monk cheese.
Wonderful world of cheese is wonderful

5.00It was a lovely experience. Gina was energetic and provided a lot of great information about cheese I did not know. As a lover of cheese learning new things is always great. Especially when it’s about something so delicious as cheese. Gina was engaging and was excellent.
Top! Highly recommended!
