Port & Cheese Pairing Workshop

You will have heard of Port and Stilton as a common combination so now is your chance to find out why this works. Besides, do you know of a better way to spend a cold November evening?! ;-)

You will taste your way through 5 luscious ports, while trying 6 different locally-sourced cheeses from the light and crumbly cheeses, to the rich and salty blue cheeses, plus introducing nuts ... with Port, really? Really! There will be tried-and-tested pairings and some more unusual, eye-opening ones that will enhance the rich fruity flavours of the ports. This is a mind-blowing experience for your tastebuds ... what fun!

Among the ports you will try are:

- chilled White Port - never tried it? It's delicious!

- Tawny Port - A good aged tawny is like Christmas in a bottle.

- Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) - taking its time in the bottle enjoy the richness from this style.

- Ruby Port - There might even be a Vintage Port or a Colheita for you to try, oh yes! ;-)

- a single Quinta, and Vintage at that ... the creme de la creme of Ports.

This will be a relaxed and eye-opening evening, during which you will learn how Port is made and be surprised by the different styles . Experiment with some of the principles behind matching food to sweet wines like Port .
