If you can schlep over to Burlington, it's pretty cool. Just avoid the smelly patchouli smelling hippies in the center of town (unless you're looking for some ganja, but something tells me that maybe cheese and weed don't mix. Stick to wine.) And you can't turn around in Vermont without tripping over a dairy or two.

Speaking of wine, Boyden Valley Winery is nice to do a wine and cheese tasting:
