Join us at Loki Great Western Arcade for our most popular event — Cheese and Wine Tasting! Discover new, intriguing pairings alongside classic duos in a fun and educational Friday evening experience. Loki’s experts will guide you through seven carefully selected wines from their extensive collection, each thoughtfully paired with artisan cheeses from our favourite suppliers.
The wines featured in our tasting are exclusively chosen from Loki’s extensive and thoughtfully curated collection. Our team goes the extra mile — traveling near and far — to ensure only the finest bottles make it to our shelves, guaranteeing our customers an experience that’s both exceptional in quality and value.
At this event, we’ll be presenting seven distinctive wines, each meticulously selected to enhance the flavours of seven artisan cheeses. Over the course of two hours, your taste buds will be treated to a series of expertly paired wines and cheeses sourced from our most trusted suppliers. Led by our knowledgeable host, the tasting will explore the art of pairing, revealing why certain cheeses and wines create a perfect match, while debunking the myth that a single bottle of Port is all you need for a true cheese and wine experience.
Here are the pairings you can expect:
Langres & Crémant de Bourgogne – Langres is a washed-rind cow’s milk cheese with a pungent aroma and creamy texture. Crémant de Bourgogne’s bright acidity and bubbles lift the funk and enrich the custardy core, especially if you pour a splash into the cheese’s natural dip (a Langres tradition!).
Garrotxa & Albariño – The earthy, semi-aged goat cheese from Catalonia plays beautifully with Albariño’s saline, citrusy brightness. The wine’s coastal freshness echoes the rustic minerality of the cheese.
Taleggio & Gewürztraminer – Taleggio’s savoury, meaty aroma and oozy texture need a wine with backbone and perfume. Gewürztraminer’s lychee, rose, and spice provide a dramatic, exotic foil that holds its ground.
Buffalo Mozzarella & Provençal Rosé – Creamy, milky mozzarella with just a hint of tang meets the crisp, herbal strawberry notes of a dry rosé. Add a fresh basil leaf and it’s a summer pairing dream – delicate yet dynamic.
Mimolette (aged) & Trousseau – Mimolette, with its butterscotch and nutty flavours, finds a surprising friend in Trousseau (from Jura, France), a light red with red berry fruit and earthy tones. The pairing is savory, slightly wild, and beautifully French.
Pecorino Sardo (aged) & Etna Rosso – Sharp, crystalline Pecorino Sardo pairs with the volcanic minerality and tart cherry of Etna Rosso (made from Nerello Mascalese grapes). It’s a bold, southern Italian combo with smoky, earthy synergy.
Stilton & Madeira – : Move over Port – Madeira’s rich oxidative notes, caramelised fruits, and acidity stand up to Stilton’s intense salt and creaminess with added complexity and zip.
Enjoy a gourmet evening that’s all about delighting the senses and expanding your taste horizons!
