Cheese & Wine Night
Date: Tuesday ~ October 4, 2011
Time: 7:30pm - 10:00pm
Cost: 25 euros per person
In addition to having the best wine in the world, France is well-known for its cheese. This tasting consists of 5 different French cheeses and 5 French wines. Fresh bread, seasonal fruit, and a selection of sliced deli meats will be served, so do NOT have dinner beforehand as this pairing won’t leave you hungry.
WineInProvence’s Cheese & Wine Pairing combines two of France’s most famous exports in a unique way. Pairing cheese and wine is an art. In this class learn how to find the right balance of flavors between the different cheeses and wines.
Hilary and Brian have been developing relationships with local cheese makers for the past three years, uncovering the mystery behind this quintessential French food. Learn fun facts about the cheese making process, the history of cheese, France’s unique cheese classification system, and some of the most bizarre stories about this French culinary tradition.
UPDATE: This tasting is now full. We do still have spaces available for our “Bottle Your Own Wine” Night.
