A record 1,600 tickets were sold to this year’s California Artisan Cheese Tasting and Marketplace, which came to a close under cloudy skies and drizzle Sunday afternoon in two big, white tents outside Petaluma’s Sheraton hotel.
“This is our best year ever for total tickets sold,” said Judy Groverman Walker, executive director of the festival, while taping up “sold out” sign at 12:15 p.m. “That’s about all we can fit in here.”
The two tents held a total of 90 vendors, including about 25 cheesemakers and an equal number of vendors pouring wine, beer and hard cider.
