Cheese and Wine Tasting at Knowle – Classic Pairings with a Twist, Volume 5, May

Join us at Loki Knowle for our most popular event: the Cheese and Wine Tasting. Spend a Saturday afternoon discovering both timeless classics and exciting new pairings in a fun, relaxed, and educational setting.

Guided by one of Loki’s expert hosts, you’ll taste seven wines from our curated collection, each paired with an artisan cheese sourced from our favourite suppliers. Along the way, we’ll explore why some matches work so well, uncover surprising combinations, and prove that Port isn’t the only wine worth serving with cheese.

What to Expect at Our Cheese and Wine Tasting

• Sample seven wines, each carefully matched to an artisan cheese
• Learn how acidity, tannin, sweetness, and texture all play a role in pairing
• Explore classic duos alongside creative and intriguing combinations
• Enjoy expert-led guidance in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere
• Discover pairings that will inspire your next cheeseboard

Example Pairings from the Cheese and Wine Tasting

• Délice de Bourgogne with Chablis Fournillon – luscious, triple-cream cheese balanced by Chablis’ steely acidity and mineral precision
• Caerphilly with Elena Walsh Sauvignon – crumbly, citrus-edged cheese lifted by Sauvignon Blanc’s zesty freshness and herbal snap
• Cave-Aged Gruyère with Martin Códax Mara Godello – nutty, savoury alpine cheese complemented by Godello’s rounded texture and subtle pear-and-mineral notes
• Ossau-Iraty with Bogle Chardonnay – buttery Basque sheep’s cheese enriched by Chardonnay’s ripe fruit, gentle oak, and creamy weight
• Provolone Piccante with Cantine Povero Barbera d’Asti – sharp, spicy cheese matched by Barbera’s bright cherry fruit and refreshing acidity
• Cashel Blue with Highgate Organic Cabernet Sauvignon – mellow Irish blue offset by Cabernet’s dark berry richness and firm structure
• Colston Bassett Stilton with Croft Pink Port – a modern twist on the classic pairing: salty, creamy blue lifted by Port’s vibrant berry fruit and gentle sweetness
