Experience Cheese with Cheese Experiences.

Private cheese experiences in the Phoenix area for groups who want an event worth remembering.

Birthdays, bachelorettes, corporate events, date nights, or any excuse to get your favorite people in a room together and eat cheese.

    Not sure which one fits your group? Tell us in the form, and we'll help you choose.

  • Pick any experience from our menu, and we'll run it exclusively for your group in the Shea Cheese Lounge or at your preferred location. We handle everything — the cheese, the setup, the story behind every bite. You just show up.

    Every private event is 2 hours and accommodates up to 30 guests. The actual tasting/cheese experience is 1 hour, leaving you a full hour to socialize with your group. We can customize the cheese selection for your group, or run straight from the menu. Either way, nobody leaves hungry.

  • $650 for up to 10 guests — $45 per person beyond that, up to 30. Custom cheese selection: add $50.

    A 10% deposit holds your date. The remaining balance is due one week before your event.
