Classes
Fromagination offers two types of cheese classes: Public, regularly scheduled classes (see below); and private, group classes arranged on a flexible, as-requested basis.
A Great Gift
Fromagination’s cheese classes are interesting and delicious (we always taste cheeses!) way to spend an hour learning about Wisconsin cheese. They also make a lovely, experiential gift. Don’t give Dad another tie for Father’s Day…give him a chance to learn about stinky cheeses instead!
You can purchase in advance and ask us to send a card to your gift recipient(s). You may also purchase a series…to give a gift that lasts more than one hour.

Marcus,

This class was great! Our host/teacher was fun and knowledgeable, and we got to taste DELISH cheese and learn some tricks of cheeseboards while enjoying a glass of wine and great company.

FAQ - Public, Sign-Up Classes
When are classes held?
Fromagination’s public classes are held from 6:30-7:30 p.m., twice a month (except December), usually on Thursday evenings.
How should I register for a class?
You can reach class registration from this page; you can go to our Classes category on the Shop page.
What will I learn in a cheese class?
Class participants will learn about various cheeses and cheese types, sample certain cheeses (and beverages, or other specialty food items), and learn some history and/or cheese-making information. Some classes focus on cooking with cheese, or may feature only certain cheese types (goat cheese, for example).
Can I give a class as a gift?
Yes. You may register yourself, or others, for a cheese class.
Are there discounts available?
Sometimes. Fromagination may offer discounts for participants who may purchase more than one class, or for a purchase for multiple participants in one class.
What else should I know?
Fromagination cheese classes involve tasting cheeses, often cheese “companion” foods, and sometimes wine or beer. Some may also involve cooking/food prep. Participants with dietary restrictions or mobility issues should talk with a Fromagination staff member when registering for a class.

Can we add other features/components to a class?
Yes, depending on the circumstance, Fromagination can invite an expert cheesemaker, a brewer/winemaker or other presenter to join. The number of cheeses sampled is also negotiable.
What class topics are offered for private groups?
Any topics offered in public, sign-up classes are offered (see above); special topics may also possibly be arranged with advance notice.
