The perfect workshop for cheese-lovers who want to brush up on their classics and taste unique cheeses in a fun, laid-back and friendly atmosphere.
How does your cheese tasting go ?

Our Cheese Geeks want to share their passion for cheese and wine with you!
On the program: meditation, drawing (to learn how to describe a cheese), blind tastings and, last but not least, a fun quiz to show you what you’ve learned – and all in good fun!
