Monteillet Fromagerie is ideally set up for this sort of an excursion, with many gregarious goats lined up to greet you and a cozy tasting bar awaiting within. The fromagerie is in Dayton, Washington in the Walla Walla Valley -- a particularly beautiful part of the country has been long known for producing sweet onions, now reknown for excellent wine, and a perfect location for Monteillet's goat and sheep cheeses. The animals are a thrill for kids of all ages, but don't mistake this for a petting zoo -- their cheese is of the highest quality. A must try: Le Roi, a petit chevre dusted in grapeleaf ash.
Monteillet also offers occasional cheesemaking workshops.
