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!

Making Feta Cheese

  • Preserved 5032 Telegraph Avenue Oakland, CA, 94609 United States (map)

Rich, salty and crumbly, feta is one of the world's most popular cheeses. Join us as we explore the magic of cheesemaking at home. 

In this workshop, we'll discuss the basics of cheese science, what milk to use and how to age your feta cheese to perfection. We will get hands-on as we move through the stages of cheesemaking: fermenting the milk, curd cutting, pitching, forming and brining. Plus we will taste some of our favorite finished versions of feta. Everyone will take their own cheese to age at home, and enjoy 3-4 weeks later!
