Cheese and Wine Tasting at City Centre – New Matches to Explore: Volume 1, April

Join us at Loki Great Western Arcade for another instalment of our most popular event: the Cheese and Wine Tasting. Spend a relaxed Saturday afternoon tasting seven carefully chosen wines from our collection, each matched with artisan cheeses from our trusted suppliers. Expect both classic favourites and adventurous new combinations in a fun, sociable, and educational setting.

Guided by one of Loki’s experts, you’ll learn why certain pairings work so well, discover how texture and balance transform flavour, and take home inspiration for your own cheeseboards.

What to Expect at Our Cheese and Wine Tasting

• Taste seven wines paired with seven artisan cheeses
• Explore both traditional duos and unexpected flavour matches
• Learn pairing principles of acidity, tannin, texture, and sweetness
• Enjoy expert-led guidance in a friendly, informal setting
• Leave with new ideas for entertaining and food pairing at home

Example Wines and Pairings

• Pecorino Romano with Badoz Crémant du Jura – the sharp, salty tang of Pecorino cut through by Jura’s fine bubbles and citrusy lift
• Brillat-Savarin with Simpson’s Gravel Castle Chardonnay – decadent triple-cream cheese enriched by Chardonnay’s ripe fruit and gentle oak roundness
• Valdeón with Ocean Thrapsathiri – earthy, tangy goat’s milk blue cheese mirrored by Thrapsathiri’s savoury depth and herbal freshness
• Old Winchester with Papa Figos Douro – caramelised, nutty intensity matched by Douro’s dark fruit, spice, and firm structure
• Smoked Cheddar with Raats Dolomite Cabernet Franc – smoky richness lifted by Cabernet Franc’s bright red fruit, pepper, and leafy freshness
• Gorgonzola Piccante with Brachetto d’Acqui – salty, punchy blue softened by Brachetto’s sweet red berries and floral sparkle
• Langres with Ramborn Meadow Orchard Ice Cider – soft, creamy washed-rind cheese beautifully balanced by ice cider’s honeyed apple sweetness

Who Should Join the Cheese and Wine Tasting?

• Cheese lovers curious about perfect wine matches
• Wine enthusiasts eager to explore pairing principles
• Couples, groups of friends, or colleagues looking for a weekend treat
• Both beginners and seasoned tasters – the event is relaxed, delicious, and engaging for all
