Who likes hot, melty cheese?! It's time for Raclette Night!
Raclette is the name of a cheese, a machine, and a dish - generally, cheese melted fireside onto a plate of potatoes, cured meats, and pickles. Raclette comes from the French word "racler," meaning "to scrape," and both Switzerland and France have rich histories of serving this famous (and fun!) dish.
This is an interactive, communal eating experience. Each table setup includes a 1/4 wheel Raclette Broiler: you'll heat up your cheese tableside, and - once melty - you'll scrape it onto your own composed plate of potatoes, pickled veggies, salad, cured meats, and bread. While the machines are heating, we will guide guests through the rich history and tradition of Raclette. We'll conclude the tasting with a flight of three artisan chocolates.
One ticket = one person and includes:
- all you can eat Raclette Cheese
- individual plate: 2 types of cured meats and 3 pickled veggies
- family-style dining: salad, potatoes, and crackers/bread (GF crackers avail if requested in allergies)
- a dessert flight of 3 artisanal chocolates
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; however, please note that we charge a $15 per bottle service fee, starting September 1.

We assign seats prior to your event. If you wish to sit with guests who are purchasing separately, we must be notified in advance. At the time of ticket purchase, there is a question prompt for you to list others in your group. Please note that we cannot seat groups larger than 8 at the same table. (Big groups?
