Finca VAI Cheese Farm Tour

What You See

The visit follows the milk from the animals to the finished cheese. You see how the cows are fed and milked, how milk becomes cheese in the farm's artisan factory, and how the wheels age in the cellar. A guided tasting comes at the end, and you are free to stay and enjoy the grounds afterwards. Tequisquiapan's tourism office says the farm keeps goats as well as cows, and that its best-known cheeses include Oaxaca, provolone, Sainte-Maure and Chanclich.

Getting There

The farm is in Purísima de Cubos, in the municipality of Colón, on the free road between Tequisquiapan and Querétaro city (the tourism office gives it as km 30). You need a car or a tour.
