Old School Cheesery

Calling all foodies and curious travelers! Head over to the heart of Vermilion and dive into the fascinating story of the Old School Cheesery. Founded by Patrick Dupuis, a passionate military veteran, and later taken over by his daughter Valerie, this family-owned business embodies artisan craftsmanship at its finest. As a major point of local pride, it is the very first establishment in the province to join the prestigious ÉCONOMUSÉE^® network. The cheesery opens its doors wide for a unique experience, allowing you to follow the captivating journey of 100% Albertan milk, from on-site pasteurization to its transformation into delicious, handcrafted artisan cheeses.

After a tour guided by passionate cheese lovers, keep the fun going at their downtown location. It’s the perfect spot to grab a bite, savor a charcuterie board showcasing their signature cheeses, or simply unwind on their beautiful patio with a local craft beer or a fine glass of wine. A must-visit gourmet stop for the whole family!
