Say “Cheese!”
Fans of the British stop-motion animation series Wallace & Grommit know what happens when Wallace gets a “bit peckish”: He heads straight for cheese. If he were actually human, he’d probably ecstatically taste his way through the Artisan Cheese Festival. The annual celebration of all things cheese will feature more than 60 artisan producers showcasing their wares, which will include not only numerous California cheeses but also local wines and brews. The festival will be held on May 7, noon–4 p.m., at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa. Tickets are $60 for ages 13 and older and $30 for ages 5–12.
