Cheese 101: The Seven Styles of Cheese (Hyde Park)
Our most popular tasting event - and the award-winner that put us on the map. In fact, this class includes a unique tasting menu monthly; we've had folks come back regularly! Great for those new to cheese or longtime aficionados, this is our best class to get a little bit of everything: we'll talk you through the "7 styles of cheese" while exploring multiple milk types. Better yet, each cheese comes with a unique pairing - from chocolate to cured meat, preserves to pickles, and more.
One ticket = one person and includes:
- 7 cheeses
- 7 food pairings
- additional goodies, such as bread, olives, & corn nuts (GF crackers avail if requested in allergies)
Beverages?
While water is provided at the tasting, we also offer bottles of wine to purchase in advance from our Cheese Shop (in purchasing options below). Alternatively, you may purchase wine, beer, and cider in the Cheese Shop prior to your event. (The Cheese Shop is across the street and open daily 11-7.) You may also BYOB for this location only.
