The Art of Pairing Cheese & Wine
Sweet or dry? Bold red or crisp white? For many cheese lovers, pairing wine with cheese can feel like a guessing game — one wrong match and a beautiful bite falls flat.
In this class, we'll take the mystery out of the equation. You'll learn the core principles behind why certain pairings sing: how fat, acidity, salt, and texture interact between cheese and wine, and how to balance (or intentionally contrast) those elements for a flawless bite every time.
We'll put the theory into practice through a guided tasting of our own curated cheese and wine pairings — some classic, some a little unexpected — so you can taste the principles at work in real time.
By the end of the class, you'll walk away with a practical framework for building your own pairings at home, whether you're planning a dinner party or just want to make the most of a Tuesday night cheese board.
