Celebrate the flavors of the season with a guided tasting experience that brings together two of summer’s greatest pleasures: refreshing wines and perfectly paired cheeses. Summer Wines and the Cheeses That Love Them is a relaxed, informative class designed to explore the art of pairing bright, seasonal wines—think zesty whites, chilled reds, and floral rosés—with a variety of cheeses that highlight and enhance their character.
Whether you're planning a picnic, a backyard dinner party, or just looking to elevate your weeknight snacks, this class will give you the tools to create pairings that are perfect for summertime. You'll learn how to evaluate flavor, texture, and balance, and gain a deeper understanding of why certain wines and cheeses work so well together.
Led by our knowledgeable cheesemonger and food educator Adam Centamore, this tasting is perfect for beginners and seasoned tasters alike. No need to worry about memorizing grape varietals or cheese origins—we’ll keep it fun, flexible, and flavorful. Come hungry to learn and ready to sip, savor, and enjoy the best of summer.
