If you're on a budget, go for the house-made bread to pair with your cheese. It's super affordable and adds a nice touch!

If you plan to buy cheese to take home, bring a cooler bag... It helps keep your purchases fresh, especially if you'll be out exploring afterwards

i recommend visiting on weekdays if you can. the weekends can get busy and you'll have a way better experience with fewer crowds.

I think coming around 4 PM is the sweet spot – the cheese selection was fresh and I didn’t have to wait too long for a table, unlike the rush right after work hours.

I suggest checking if they have any special events or cheese-making demos happening during your visit. I stumbled across one and it was totally worth it!

If you’re on a budget, grab a plate of the daily special cheeses instead of choosing a set platter. It was a great value and I got to try several delicious options!

Don't forget to bring a jacket! It gets pretty chilly in the caves, and I was underdressed – felt like a frozen cheese!

If you're planning to buy cheese to take home, consider grabbing their pre-packed selections. It saved me time and I got a nice variety without stressing over choices!

I think you should look into their cheese workshops. It’s a bit extra, but I learned so much and it was totally worth the money. Just book in advance because they fill up fast.

I suggest visiting on a weekday around 10 AM when it's less crowded and you can enjoy more personalized service. It was way less hectic for me!

Make sure to ask for samples before buying. I thought I knew what I wanted, but tasting a few different cheeses opened up my options and saved me money!

If you can, bring a small cooler bag. I got some delicious cheeses to-go, and they were fine on the ride home, but a cooler would have kept them even fresher longer!

Don’t miss their seasonal specialties. I accidentally visited during their 'cheese of the month' event and got to try some limited-edition flavors I would have missed otherwise.

I recommend booking a tasting in advance to avoid disappointment, especially during peak tourist seasons. I missed out because I didn’t plan ahead!

Definitely try to visit during the week if you can – it’s way less crowded and you really get to chat with the staff about the wines and cheeses... They love sharing their knowledge
