Cheese and Wine Tasting: Celebrating National Cheese Day

Celebrate National Cheese Day with a guided evening of Wisconsin cheese and global wine at Convivium Urban Farmstead.

During this interactive tasting, guests will sample five distinctive Wisconsin cheeses, each thoughtfully paired with wines from around the world. Alongside the pairings, we’ll offer small bites designed to highlight and enhance the flavors of both the cheese and the wine.

The evening will be led by Chef Cena, Convivium’s Culinary Resource Director, who will guide guests through the stories, styles, and flavor profiles of each cheese. Carl Busch of EJ’s Wine Shop, a beloved local boutique wine retailer, will also join us to share insights about the wine selections and pairing principles.

Guests will have the opportunity to purchase featured cheeses to take home, and each attendee will receive a coupon for the paired wines at EJ’s Wine Shop, making it easy to recreate the experience later.

Whether you’re a devoted cheese lover or simply curious about pairing wine and food, this relaxed and flavorful evening is a delicious way to celebrate National Cheese Day.
