🍷🧀 Cheese & Wine Pairing: The Perfect Match
Duration:
1 hour
Overview:
Cheese and wine — an absolute dream team. But how do you actually know which wine goes best with which cheese (without just winging it and hoping for the best)?
In this fun, relaxed class, we’ll dive into the delicious world of cheese and wine pairing, covering everything from the classic pairings everyone should know to some surprising matches you might never have thought of. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party, planning a cosy night in, or just looking to level up your wine and cheese game — this class is for you.
We’ll cover the basic principles of pairing (like why rich reds love hard cheeses, and why creamy Brie pairs beautifully with crisp whites) — but we’ll also throw in a few unexpected pairings that might just blow your mind.
So grab a glass, grab some cheese, and get ready for an hour of pure indulgence.
What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why Some Pairings Work (and Others Don’t): The science of matching flavour, texture, and intensity.
✅ Wine Styles Explained: How different wines (reds, whites, sparkling, and sweet) interact with different types of cheese.
✅ The Classics: Tried-and-tested pairings that always work — like Sauvignon Blanc with Goat’s Cheese or Blue Cheese with Sweet Wine.
✅ Unexpected Combos: Fun, surprising pairings that break all the rules (but taste incredible).
✅ Tasting Tips: How to properly taste and compare wine and cheese like a pro — without any pretentiousness.
How It Works:
- Before the class, I’ll send you a recommended shopping list with 4-5 cheeses and wine styles so you can taste along at home.
- On the night, we’ll meet on Zoom for a relaxed, interactive session where we taste, chat, and discover what works and why.
- Expect a good mix of practical tips, fun facts, and “oh wow, that’s delicious” moments.
- No prior wine or cheese knowledge needed — just a love for good food and drink.
Recommended Pairings:
(You’ll get the full list when you sign up, but here’s a sneak peek!)
🍷 Sauvignon Blanc + Goat’s Cheese (fresh, tangy, perfect)
🍷 Chardonnay + Brie (creamy on creamy = heaven)
🍷 Cabernet Sauvignon + Mature Cheddar (big wine, bold cheese — yes please)
🍷 Sweet Wine (like Sauternes) + Blue Cheese (sounds odd, tastes amazing)
🍷 Sparkling Wine + Triple Cream Cheese (think Champagne + Brie — pure luxury)
Who’s This For?
- Anyone who loves cheese, wine, or (ideally) both.
- People planning dinner parties, date nights, or just a really nice Friday night in.
- Curious foodies who want to understand why certain pairings taste amazing.
- Anyone who’s ever stared at the cheese aisle thinking “what wine goes with this?”.
