Long Paddock Cheese & The Cheese School

Castlemaine fromagerie and hands-on cheese school turning artisan cheese into a day-trip destination.

A working regional fromagerie with a warm, hands-on classroom feel during courses. structured but relaxed, built around tasting and making rather than dining.

A full-day home cheese-making course (taught by cheesemaker Michael) covering multiple cheeses plus cultured butter, with breakfast, lunch and a wine-and-cheese tasting included; students take home roughly 1-2kg of cheese they made.

Reviewers note French-style techniques behind some cheeses (a creamy blue and other 'real unique French style' varieties), reflecting classic European cheesemaking method rather than a single national cuisine.

Not cheap or expensive per reviewers, with tastings available before buying; the cheese-making course is repeatedly called 'worth every dollar/penny' given the cheese and butter taken home.
