Enjoy Cheese Appreciation with Sydney's finest cheesemonger. Further your knowledge of cheese with a friendly, truly professional host. During this ultimate cheese tasting experience you will be indulged in an afternoon of fabulous farm house cheeses from Australia and around the world.

Upon arrival at the venue, you will be greeted by your cheese expert to enjoy a glass of bubbles before being seated for the experience.

Once all guests have arrived you will then be invited to take a seat around a fully laid table complete with fabulous cheese, wine, cheese accompaniments and tasting notes. Over an hour and a half period, we will taste cheese of various flavours, styles and milk types such as goat, sheep, cow and buffalo cheese and experiment with basic cheese and wine pairings.

We specialise in the education and appreciation of artisan and farmhouse cheeses produced by the best cheese-makers from Australia and around the world. Our unique courses showcase exceptional cheese and are accompanied by a variety of fine wines.

We offer a variety of class themes, from 'Spanish Cheese & Spanish Wine', 'Italian Cheese & Italian Wine', 'Australian Cheese & Australian Wine' to 'Beer & Cheese', 'Goat & Sheep Cheese' and our A1 course 'What Cheese is That?' Relative to the theme of the class, your cheese expert will present on the historical, geographical and sometimes even religious influences that have impacted on the cheeses showcased. Your cheese expert will also give a detailed account of what traditional cheese making techniques include and the importance that small scale cheese production has in our society. As an interactive appreciation course, we move you through the experience comparing and contrasting cheese and wine pairings and tasting great new flavours and combinations. You are encouraged to ask questions and express personal preference and experience.

This experience will leave you more confident of your personal preferences with cheese & wine and wanting to impress your friends and family with your new found knowledge and inspiration!

The cheeses were delicious and you gave us a framework for understanding cheeses plus a new chocolate shop. There were a few cheeses there that I hadn't tried and I'll be seeking them out. I enjoyed the informative background info eg on use of milk powder to make cheese- I enjoyed your enthusiasm and deep knowledge.
