"Best Austin Local Eats" - Austin Monthly

"Best Artisan Food Company" - Austin Chronicle

Our most popular cheese tasting event - and the award-winner that put us on the map, this experience is ideal for both longtime aficionados or cheese beginners alike. Featuring a new menu monthly, our Signature Cheese Tasting dives into a world of diverse flavors, guaranteeing everyone leaves with a favorite bite. We'll talk you through the "7 styles of cheese" while exploring multiple milk types - from gooey soft cheeses to cheddars, goats' milk to cows', and definitely something you've never tried before. Better yet, each cheese comes with a unique pairing - from chocolate to cured meat, preserves to pickles, and more. Think of this guided tasting as a "cheese omakase" experience; our Certified Cheese Professionals (yes, that's a thing) and Cheese Hosts guide you through a progressive meal, regaling you with romantic stories and histories of cheese, as well as sharing the labor of love of each individual maker. Ultimately, you'll get to eat almost a half pound of cheese, plus all the extra goods. It's "dinner and a show," regardless of the time of day! Our goal is that you love it so much, you'll come back to us monthly. Ready?

One ticket = one person and includes:

  • 7 cheeses
  • 7 food pairings
  • additional treats like crackers, cornichons, & corn nuts (GF crackers avail if requested in allergies)

But what makes this Brunch?

Mimosas! That's right! The mouth-watering acidity of citrus juice combined with the effervescence of bubbles makes for perfect complements to a cheese tasting. You can choose to add on one glass of Mimosa.  Available for pre-purchase now with your ticket or at the event.

Other Beverages?

While water is provided at the tasting, you may choose to add on our recommended wine flight at the time of ticket purchase (below).
