Classic Series: Conquer the Cheese & Wine Counters with Confidence—$75

Navigating the cheese counter—and picking the perfect wine to match—can feel overwhelming. With so many options, where do you start? This class is designed to take the mystery out of cheese and wine selection, giving you the knowledge and confidence to order like a pro.

For years, our resident author and expert cheesemonger, Adam Centamore, has been teaching cheese lovers from beginners to experts, helping them develop confidence as they walk up to counter to place their order. He will be in the shop on March 1st ready to demystify the cheese counter by breaking down different styles, flavors, and textures in a way that’s easy to understand while creating a welcoming environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, tasting new things, and expanding their palates.

You’ll taste a variety of cheeses alongside complementary wines, understand what makes each pairing work, and gain insider tips for selecting, sampling, and serving with confidence.

Whether you're a total beginner or a budding enthusiast, this fun and interactive session will leave you ready to approach any cheese counter—or wine shop—with ease.
