Mastering Cheese with Wine Pairing

Join us for a comprehensive lesson on cheese from our Master Cheesemonger!

Cheese is quite an ancient food and remains one of the most beloved by all nationalities. In this class you will learn the foundation of cheese making. How does a single ingredient, milk, turn into so many varieties, shapes and flavors of cheese? It includes a sample of different animal milk, a demonstration on the separation of curds and whey and a tasting of a full range of various cheeses.

Presentation of artisan cheese is just as important as knowing all about it. In the course, we prepare a vegetable and a fruit preserve from scratch to pair with cheeses, then discuss and learn the basics of choosing the best wines – using our easy and flawless secret method. You will be surprised how our pairing system will make you an expert “overnight.”

Finally, we create a perfect cheeseboard! Using height, color and a simple approach, we will put together a stunning cheese board worthy of a thousand photographs. Surprise friends, neighbors and family during your next gathering by presenting a stunning and tempting cheeseboard with techniques learned in this class.

We will end by watching our “hard work” gobbled up! But before that happens, make sure you snap a photo or two of the beautiful spread you have created. When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?

No experience necessary! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing). Our venue has delicious cocktails and wines that will pair extremely well with your meal that you and your friends will prepare.
