Cheese Trail
What is the Oxford County Cheese Trail?
Welcome to the Dairy Capital of Canada producing one billion glasses of milk every year! What is a cheese trail? It is a group of cheesemakers, attractions, restaurants and retailers with fun activities, unique flavours and offers you can purchase – all related to dairy. From factory tours, unique experiences, artisan goods and delicious food, perfect for simple or splurge-worthy fun.
We suggest five stops in a day and travelling by hub. Blandford-Blenheim, Woodstock, Gunn’s Hill, Tillsonburg, and Ingersoll, hubs have stops within 5-15 minutes of each other, most open Wed-Sat. To help with trip planning, use our Cheese Trail brochure with locations in order, driving from East to West, or use our Google Maps. Pick your stops and explore. Culture, fun and a whole lot of cheese are wheyting for you.
This self-guided tour of 30+ stops makes for a pleasant afternoon, day or weekend in Oxford. With the largest city on the trail 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.
Need help? Let us plan your itinerary! Just email tourism@oxfordcounty.ca and we’d be happy to lend you a hand. The Cheese Trail is full of excitement with unique experiences, cheese factory tours, and some really gouda restaurants. Come home with coolers full of cheese from Oxford County.
So if it’s unbrielievable, legendairy memories you seek to create, look no further than the Oxford County Cheese Trail! Download the guide!
