Welcome to the California Artisan Cheese Guild. We are an organization dedicated to the bounty of artisanal, specialty and farmstead cheese made in the Golden State. Here, you'll find everything you need to take a regional cheese tour, learn about the variety of cheeses produced and determine how you can join and support our cause.

Membership is open to any individual with an interest in California cheese! You don't have to be a cheesemaker - as long as cheese is your passion than there is a place for you in our guild. See our Mission Statement for a list of membership categories.

For an interactive look at cheesemaker members across the Golden State, check out our map for lots of detailed information (locations, cheese varieties, tours, etc.).

The CACG has some exciting events coming up. Check them out, mark your calendar and come enjoy California's bounty of artisanal cheese!
