Come eat cheese for your community! This event is our "Charitable Cheese Cause," raising money for and breaking bread together to benefit Reilly Elementary PTA. Note: We will be donating 20% of all revenue from this event, including ticket and beverage sales, as well as any sales at the tasting.

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)

Twenty percent of all pre-event purchases, as well as purchases at the event, will be donated to the nonprofit.
