Everything from art fairs and design exhibitions to music festivals have gone totally digital this year and for the upcoming National Cheese Day, Wisconsin Cheese is hosting the World’s Largest Virtual Cheese Party via Zoom. The June event invites people to take "a virtual Cheesecation to Wisconsin, the State of Cheese" by tuning into Zoom, where they will be eligible to win prizes, participate in tastings, trivia, see special guests and more.
The hour is anticipated to last about 45 minutes to an hour and it promises to give cheese lovers the opportunity to meet the makers of Wisconsin cheese. For the first 500 people to sign up to the virtual event, Wisconsin Cheese offered complimentary gift boxes featuring a selection of cheeses from award-winning makers.
