"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?
