About this Event

Indulge in a decadent journey where cheese takes center stage as the perfect finale to a meal. In this guided tasting experience, you’ll explore a curated selection of cheeses that shine in a dessert setting, from the buttery richness of a triple-cream brie to the crystalline sweetness of an aged gouda.

Each cheese will be paired with complementary flavors such as wildflower honey, dried figs, dark chocolate, and dessert wines, enhancing their natural complexity. As you savor each bite, you'll gain insight into the textures, aromas, and aging processes that make these cheeses a sublime alternative to traditional sweets.

Throughout the class, you’ll not only taste but also learn the art of pairing cheese with dessert wines discovering how their acidity and sweetness elevate each bite. Your guide will share insights into cheese aging, milk types, and the science behind pairing sweet and savory elements to create harmony on the palate.

Whether you’re a lifelong cheese lover or someone looking to expand your appreciation for gourmet flavors, this class will transform the way you think about cheese as a dessert and inspire you to craft elegant, unexpected finales to your own meals.
