Midweek Cheese and Wine Evening at Knowle, July

Escape the midweek routine and unwind in the cosy, welcoming atmosphere of Loki Knowle for an evening of cheese, wine, and good company. This relaxed yet educational and fun event is designed for wine lovers of all levels — whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or just starting your journey.

We’ll be tasting a curated selection of wines from around the world, each thoughtfully paired with exceptional cheeses to highlight the magic of perfect pairings. From bold reds to crisp whites and even a surprise or two, every sip and bite will bring out new flavours and textures, revealing the art of pairing wine and cheese like a pro.

Our expert host will guide you through the tasting, sharing insights into wine styles, regions, and pairing principles, all in a laid-back and interactive setting. Expect plenty of laughs, great conversation, and a deeper appreciation for the delicious synergy between wine and cheese.

Whether you come solo, with a friend, or as part of a group, this is the perfect way to treat yourself midweek, discover new favourites, and enjoy an evening of indulgence.

Here are the pairings you can expect:

Reblochon & Lambrusco – The washed-rind funk and creamy paste of Reblochon are tamed and uplifted by Lambrusco’s gentle fizz, berry tang, and acidity — it’s a rich-meets-refreshing combo that feels decadent but drinkable.

Valdeón  & Riesling Spätlese – The intense, smoky, and spicy character of Valdeón is softened by the honeyed fruit and zippy acidity of a late-harvest Riesling. The sweet-salt contrast makes for a thrilling palate experience.

Délice de Bourgogne & Chenin Blanc – This triple-cream delight demands a wine with acidity and depth. Dry Chenin from Vouvray or Saumur brings pear, quince, and minerality, which cut through the fat and add elegance.

Ricotta Salata & Bandol Rosé – The salty, crumbly texture of Ricotta Salata pairs well with the structured, herbal, and slightly savoury profile of a Bandol rosé (made from Mourvèdre). It’s Mediterranean harmony with a savoury twist.

Tomme de Savoie & Pineau d’Aunis – Earthy and slightly mushroomy Tomme loves Pineau d’Aunis’s peppery red fruit and light frame. This is a funky, under-the-radar French pairing that sings with balance and character.

Assyrtiko & Comté (aged 18–24 months) – The crystalline, nutty depth of aged Comté meets Assyrtiko’s razor-sharp acidity and stony minerality in a fascinating clash of Alpine richness and Aegean brightness. The wine refreshes the palate between bites, while the cheese brings out citrus and toasted notes in the wine.

Parmigiano-Reggiano & Barolo – A classic that rarely gets its due – the nutty umami of aged Parmigiano balances Barolo’s tannins and red fruit depth. Both are powerhouses that evolve on the palate together.

Enjoy a gourmet evening that’s all about delighting the senses and expanding your taste horizons!
