Cheese and Wine Tasting at Knowle

Join us at Loki Knowle for our most popular event: the Cheese and Wine Tasting. Spend a relaxed Saturday afternoon discovering why cheese and wine are one of the world’s most timeless pairings.

Guided by our expert host, you’ll explore seven wines from our carefully curated collection, each thoughtfully paired with an artisan cheese from our trusted local suppliers. Along the way, we’ll reveal the art and science of pairing – why acidity balances richness, how salt enhances fruit, and why Port is far from the only option for your cheeseboard.

This event is fun, informal, and educational – perfect for anyone looking to enjoy delicious combinations while learning something new.

Six Cheese & Wine Tastings to Explore

We currently have six different volumes of our Cheese & Wine Tasting, each with its own selection of wines, cheeses and flavour combinations. So, if you have joined us before, your next tasting will not necessarily be the same. Simply book a different volume and enjoy a fresh set of pairings.

Below, you’ll find a sample description from one of our volumes.

Sample Pairing

• Franciacorta with Chaource – fine bubbles and crisp citrus acidity bring freshness and definition to the cheese’s rich, velvety texture
• Godello with San Simón da Costa – ripe orchard fruit and subtle mineral notes complement the cheese’s distinctive smoky character while maintaining balance and freshness
• Grüner Veltliner with Comté – bright acidity, white pepper and stone fruit flavours enhance the nutty complexity and crystalline texture of this alpine favourite
• Rosé from Provence with Valencay – delicate red berry fruit and refreshing acidity suit the cheese’s creamy goat’s milk character and subtle herbal notes
• Brunello di Montalcino with Pecorino Stagionato – firm tannins, sour cherry fruit and savoury depth stand up to the concentrated flavours of this aged sheep’s milk cheese
• Priorat with Tomme de Brebis – powerful dark fruit, mineral intensity and polished tannins complement the cheese’s earthy, nutty richness
• Pedro Ximénez Sherry with Stilton – luscious raisin, fig and toffee notes provide a luxurious contrast to the salty, tangy intensity of the blue cheese
