The Vacherin Mont-d'Or festival – Let’s celebrate the start of the season together!

The history of Vacherin Mont-d’Or PDO is linked to that of the village of Les Charbonnières in the Vallée de Joux. Proud of this cheese, the village has been celebrating the Vacherin Mont-d’Or festival every year for a quarter of a century, at the end of September, when the herds return from their summering.

More than 6,000 participants usually gather for this convivial day, the folkloric and gourmet event of the year in the Vallée de Joux. Members of the Vacherin Mont-d’Or communitiy, craftsmen and companies from the region present their activities and let you discover their specialties from 9 a.m. onwards. And the cheesemakers will be offering free tastings of their new products! Stay tuned to learned about the next Festival’s dates.
