Curdish Travel: Great British Cheese Festival
Mmm... You can almost smell the stinky rinds in the air. The Great British Cheese Festival is calling all lovers of the pungent, creamy, delicious stuff the last weekend in September, with 100 British cheesemakers, 450 varieties of cheeses, master classes and demonstrations.
The festival chairman brags that "Cardiff's to cheese what Wimbledon is to tennis," so we have to think they're pretty serious about the stuff. Guests can also take wine-, whiskey- and beer-pairing workshops as well as attend numerous tastings of cheese varieties like Hafod and Bwlchwernen Fawr or head to a Chedd-alogy challenge where a range of cheddars is offered alongside a quiz after you watch "Cheddar: The Movie." (Yes, really.)
Tickets are available on the festival's website, and Cardiff's a wonderful place to spend a few dairy-heavy days.
