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!

Beginning Cheesemaking: Feta, Fromage Blanc, Creme Fraiche

  • 18 Reasons 3674 18th Street San Francisco, CA, 94110 United States (map)

A hands-on cheesemaking course, with snacks and accompaniments to round out a light meal served with wine and beer. 

Feta, fromage blanc, and creme fraiche are three of the most delicious things in the diary case, and they're also some of the easiest to make. In this beginning class, I will teach you how to master the trio so you can make them in your own kitchen. You'll learn about milk types, where to buy supplies, cheesemaking science, and taste samples. Then you'll make your own feta, watch culturing demos, season and spice fromage blanc, and learn about feta brines and marinades. At the end of the class we'll enjoy our fromage blanc and creme fraiche with light snacks, and you'll take home your feta to finish aging.

*Plan on taking your feta home after class and babying it for at least 2 days before aging it.
