Do you believe that wine and cheese choices are subjective? If so you're right!
Camembert and Chateau Lafite or Sauternes with Roquefort, anything goes when choosing for yourself - it's which wine you like, with which cheese you like that counts. However, some cheeses have been developed to suit local wines, providing a fabulous match and how do you choose for a group of forty people when your own personal favourite is Craft Singles and Champagne. The secret lies in balance!
This unique event combines a team challenge, interaction, humour and imparts the skills of matching fine cheese and wine. Whilst the emphasis is on creating a convivial atmosphere and developing corporate relationships, guests gain a skill invaluable when at restaurants and at home.
Our expert gives a humorous, anecdotal introduction to the palate and food and wine culture with an animated show. Guests are given a range of wines to taste with a selection of fine regional cheeses. After recording likes and dislikes, they then award the pairing a mark based on the principles of balance, as would a professional sommelier . Marks are then compared to those of our expert and points awarded for fun.
