About this Event
Spring is coming, and that means picnic season is just around the corner! In this cheese tasting class, we’ll explore the art of creating the perfect portable meal, starting with the iconic Ploughman’s Lunch.
In this class, we’ll show you how to select cheeses that travel well and pair beautifully with a variety of accompaniments. From crumbly Cheddar and creamy Brie to tangy Stilton and nutty Gouda, we’ll explore how different textures and flavors play off seasonal fruits, chutneys, and fresh breads. You’ll also learn tips for assembling the ultimate picnic board, balancing savory bites with sweet touches and crisp, refreshing salads.
Of course, no portable meal is complete without the right drinks. We’ll guide you through pairing cheeses with low-intervention wines, ciders, and non-alcoholic options that are perfect for outdoor sipping. Learn how to build a balanced, flavorful picnic menu that’s both satisfying and easy to transport.
And because a picnic is more than just a meal—it’s a whole experience—we’ll also cover tips on presentation, packaging, and planning. Whether you're heading to the park, the beach, or your own backyard, you’ll leave this class armed with everything you need to create an unforgettable alfresco feast, full of fresh, vibrant flavors and thoughtful pairings. So grab your blanket and basket, and get ready to celebrate spring in style with the ultimate cheese-centric picnic!
