An Evening of Exceptional Cheese & Fine Wine with La Fromagerie, Friday 13th December 2024

Our cheese and wine collaboration nights with our longstanding cheesemonger friends, La Fromagerie, have proven to be incredibly popular in recent years and we have, once again, decided to host an evening where we dial everything up a notch and pull out all the stops.

Join senior cheesemonger, Max Melvin, and your fine wine expert host in the Townhouse for a guided tasting of eight superlative cheeses with appropriately paired fine wines. Expect to traverse across France, tasting only the very finest vinous delights from Champagne, the Loire Valley, Burgundy, Jura, the Northern Rhône and, of course, Bordeaux.

For the cheeses, Max will be tasked with bringing the very best that La Fromagerie can muster. In recent instalments this has included an epically indulgent Le Barisien showered in white truffles, a Soumaintrain washed in Chablis and the incredible Rogue River Blue, winner of the 2020 title for World’s Best Cheese and currently retailing for £135 per kilo!
