The Great Canadian Cheese Discovery

There is so much more than just Cheddar!

Join Savvy Company’s newest member - Cheese Sommelier Vanessa Simmons -  as she leads you through a delicious discovery artisan cheeses from across Canada.   

And Vanessa knows. She has trained with the Cheese Education Guild in Toronto – Canada’s only comprehensive cheese appreciation program and spends countless hours with local cheesemongers and cheesemakers. Her passion for cheeses oozes while her knowledge will melt away all notions that Canada only makes cheddar.

During this three evening series, with Vanessa showing you the ’whey’, you will sample and savour five to seven cheeses from different provinces.  She will also introduce you to the fun-damentals of cheese appreciation including:

- Cheese 101 - how cheese is made and what makes it artisanal

- Different categories of cheese

- Cheese-y lingo

- Buying cheese

- Caring for cheese

Being a Savvy Event, of course, Canadian wines will be tasted too!

Reviews from our guests....

"I was never one to even think about cheese, yet after last night's tasting and great information I am now giving up the store bought cheese!  What a difference." - Joanne

"What an extremely enjoyable night last light.  The venue at Thyme and Again was very comfortable and professional.  Vanessa engaged everyone around the table.  The way the cheese was presented one at a time with your talk about it and your knowledge was good for all.  I will definitely be back with more friends!' - Lynda
