Classic Class: Orange Wine and Cheese, A Guided Tasting—$75

Discover how orange and natural wines pair with artisanal cheese in this guided tasting exploring flavor and texture.
About this Event

One of our favorite things about pairing wines and cheeses here at Formaggio Kitchen is the diversity of style in each category. There are infinite combinations: creamy cheeses and high-acid wines, strong cheeses and sweet wines, salty cheeses and bubbles. In this class, we will dive into a less common pairing: Cheese and Orange Wine. 

Orange, or skin-macerated wine is made when white grapes are fermented on their skins, like a red wine, instead of being pressed immediately after picking like a typical white wine. This ancient technique creates distinctive wines, adding the structure and unlocking the flavors and aromatics that are held in the skins of white grapes. Together, we’ll explore the unique pairing opportunities on offer when we put orange wines alongside cheese, and discuss the ways they interact with each other to bring out the best of what’s on the table.
