Fall & Winter Classes & Events

I teach public cheese making and and private wine & cheese classes all over the Bay Area! (I no longer teach private cheesemaking classes- just pairings!) Find out more about my private classes here, or email kirstin@itsnotyouitsbrie.com with questions. As a friendly reminder, these classes fill up fast. If they’re listed but sold out, get on the school’s waiting list- sometimes spots open up. 

  • Besides my June Cheese & Wine Pairing 101 class, this summer is booked with private classes, new projects, and vacation! I am not teaching any public classes beyond this until fall.

  • Fall events will be listed as soon as planned. Thank you for your interest!

3 Part Series- Online Cheesemaking Intensive

This three-part livestream cheesemaking Intensive with guest teacher Kirstin Jackson, creator of It’s Not You, It’s Brie, will span cheese styles from fresh to aged and skill levels from beginner to advanced. You’ll learn which tools and supplies you need to make cheese safely and successfully at home—and which fancy doodads you can skip. By the end of this three-part Intensive—capped at just 25 attendees!—you’ll understand essential cheesemaking science, feel comfortable with common techniques, know where to source ingredients and be ready to cut into your first homemade brie. Plus, over the course of the Intensive, you’ll have access to a group chat where you can share your progress with other students and pose questions directly to Kirstin.

April 6th - We’ll start the series by making brie.

April 20th - Our second session is focused on feta.

May 4th - Our third session features cheeses that are (mainly) ready to eat, as a reward for your patience throughout the Intensive. Kirstin will teach you how to make her favorite quick cheese: a simple queso fresco seasoned with herbs and garlic that’s capable of charming the cheese novice and snob alike. Then, she’ll show how to make everyone’s favorite creamy, cultured Italian cheese: mascarpone. Plus, a brie check in!
