Big Cheese Days
They're back...
Big Cheese Days are Back and Whey Better than Ever!
The Oxford County Cheese Trail is 10 year old! Whether you were there for year one of Big Cheese Days or are discovering the trail for the first time, we would love to see you in May!
Every Saturday in May is Big Cheese Days along the Oxford County Cheese Trail bringing special offers, exclusive tastes, cheese factory tours, hands-on experiences, and extra cheesy menus. The Cheese Trail is a self-guide travel itinerary where you pick the activities and stops you want to visit. With the largest city on the trail, Woodstock, located where the 401 meets the 403, Oxford is the ideal location to visit as it’s just a 90-minute drive from Toronto and only two hours from border crossings at Buffalo, Detroit and Port Huron. Want all the ooey gooey details? See everything that is happening, download our big cheese days and cheese trail brochures, use our recommended trip itineraries and maps or contact us to recommend stops based on your group's interests.
