The Cheese & Wine Experience
An unmissable experience hosted by Master of Cheese, Juliet, or be your own Master of cheese and host a DIY tasting, using Juliet’s notes
Taste cheeses ripened to perfection in my “cave”. Learn to identify the best from the bland and the boring. Uncover the secrets beneath their rinds and discover what makes a cheese every bit as complex as wine.
Accompanied by Hawke’s Bays finest wines, Ya Bon bread, edible flowers and seasonal fruit & vegetables, this is a experience you won’t want to end. Held in my home, above Black Barn Vineyards, or a venue of your choice, it can be a lunch or light supper.
