Our friends in Oxford County, otherwise known as Canada’s Dairy Capital, know their cheese.
The month of May marks the beginning of Big Cheese Days in Oxford County, when, every Saturday of the month, visitors and locals alike indulge in all types of cheese activities throughout the region.
Just another reason to take a trip along their Cheese Trail dedicated to award-winning cheesemakers and dairies!
You can find everything from factory tours to tastings to satisfy that savoury tooth! Take advantage of the beautiful spring days ahead and hit the road for one (or more!) of these stops.
