There is nothing quite like good wine and good cheese. Join us for a night of only the very best artisan cheeses paired with magnificent sparkles, white, red and sweet wine.
A guided tasting through a 6 course wine and cheese journey with Sophia Luckett from The Drink Talking. We'll taste some classic combinations, as well as some 'far out' wine and cheese pairings. You will learn the tricks behind the perfect match whilst learning about the grapes and regions of the wines and the styles of the cheeses.
You will taste 6 fine wines with 6 specialist, boutique cheeses. From hard cheeses to soft and gooey, cow's milk to goat, this is a luxurious tasting for all foodies and winos.
All cheeses from the notorious cheese-jedis The Cheeseboard of Harrogate

Why learn about wine?
Confidence buying wine
It can be overwhelming eyeing up the wall of wine in a supermarket or wine merchants. Have you ever bought wine based on a snazzy label or solely because it was reduced from £12 to £6? We all have! How would you like to walk into a wine shop, confidently find your favourite wines, and leave 100% satisfied?

Improve your ability to taste and smell
Anyone can learn to become a wizz-kid at smelling and tasting wine, all you need is practice. I've had people tell me that 'wine just tastes like wine' to them and they have a terrible sense of smell etc, only to find themselves saying 'I really can smell elderflower' only an hour into the wine tasting. It won't be long until you are picking out 'leather', 'peaches' or 'banana' too. Like any other muscle this is just a skill to be honed and toned and you'll be amazed at what you are capable of.

Extra skills: geography & history
One of the world's most famous wine writers, Jancis Robinson, describes wine as 'geography in a bottle' - so true! You will see so many maps, pictures of soil, weather diagrams that if you aren't already a geography buff, then you soon will be! Alongside this, you also learn about history of wine regions and the culture that goes along with it.
