Ooey-Gooey Cheese. The finger-licking kind. The kind that doesn't need to be melted because it's already so runny. 

This cheese and wine tasting is a love letter to the soft, spreadable cheeses we adore: fresh, bloomy-rinds, washed rinds, and occasionally just one decadent, creamy blue. When at room temperature, some of these cheeses can barely hold themselves together, which makes us swoon. Moreover, they're so rich and palate-coating that they beg for bubbles. So we're teaming up this tasting of 6 soft cheeses with a flight of 3 sparkling wines, plus 6 complementary food bites and other accompaniments. Ready to go gaga for gooey cheeses and bubbles?!

One ticket = one person and includes:

  • 6 cheeses
  • 3 sparkling wines (3 ounce pours of each)
  • 6 food pairings
  • additional treats like crackers, cornichons, & nuts (GF crackers avail if requested in allergies)

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). Additionally, you may purchase beverages at the event, selecting from wine, beer, cider, sparkling water, and non-alcoholic wine.  Note: We charge a service fee per bottle brought into our tasting room.
