Indulge your love for delicious cheese and wine and learn about pairing them at this wonderful tasting experience. A great experience for your group whether it's for team-building activities, a low-key hen party idea or just to get your friends together to share some good times.

This experience can take place in Cambridge or the host can travel to you!

Cheese is often considered a perfect partner to wine, but it's not always easy to get right. Taste seven wines matching them with seven top quality cheeses from around the world and learn the principles for great matches!

You will try cheese from a specialist local cheesemonger and wines from local shops in and around Cambridge. You will discover delicious artisan goat's cheese, salty cheddar, melting brie, crumbly Lancashire or Cheshire, creamy blue cheese and a beautiful aged Comte.

You'll learn the principles of cheese and wine pairing to get it right the first time when you do it at home.

If you like cheese and wine, this is the perfect experience.

We'll let you know where you can source the selected wines and cheeses if you want to get your hands on the same pairings.

The line-up is likely to include:

  • Goat's cheese with Sancerre (a classic match)
  • Creamy french blue cheese (not too strong) with dessert wine
  • Salty cheddar with Bordeaux (why does this one work so well?)
  • French Brie with Beaujolais (made to go together)
  • Wensleydale / Cheshire with Pinot Noir
  • Gewurztraminer with Comte
  • Smoked Cheddar with Chardonnay
