The event climaxes with the crowning of the World Champion Cheesemaker! \nMonona Terrace is a crown jewel of a conference center\, with the original design going back to Frank Lloyd Wright. Perched overlooking Lake Monona on one side with a beautiful view of the Wisconsin State Capitol just a few blocks away\, it’s a fantastic place for an event – especially one filled with specialty cheeses! Monona Terrace actually covers U.S. 151/John Nolen Drive for several blocks; it’s mere moments from the Beltline (U.S. 12/18)\, Park Avenue (U.S. 14/151)\, East Washington Avenue (U.S. 151)\, Highway 113\, or Highway 30 from I-39/90/94. \nWorld Championship Cheese Contest/Monona Terrace Address:\n1 John Nolen Drive (U.S. 151)\nMadison\, WI 53703\n(608) 286-1001\nWebsite \n\n\n\n \n  \n \nThe World Champion Cheesemaker Award was bestowed on a U.S. cheesemaker for the first time since 1988 during the awards in 2016\, to Emmi Roth of Monroe\, Wisconsin.
