Christmas Cheese and Wine Tasting at Knowle – Festive Flavours in Perfect Harmony

Celebrate the season in style at our Christmas Cheese and Wine Tasting, where rich cheeses meet hand-picked wines in the ultimate festive pairing. This special evening brings together seven wines – from sparkling to red, white, and dessert – each paired with an artisan cheese selected to highlight flavour, texture, and balance.

Perfect for foodies, wine lovers, and anyone looking for a pre-festive outing, this event combines indulgence with insight as we explore how cheese and wine work in harmony.

• Experience a warm, festive atmosphere with a touch of storytelling to bring the pairings to life

Example Pairings You Might Taste

• Parmigiano Reggiano with Hattingley Classic Cuvée – nutty, crystalline cheese sharpened by the lively bubbles and citrus lift of English sparkling wine
• Ossau-Iraty with Bogle Chardonnay – buttery Basque sheep’s cheese enriched by Chardonnay’s ripe fruit, gentle oak, and creamy texture
• Bath Soft with San Giovanni Orvieto – delicate, bloomy-rind cheese paired with Orvieto’s crisp acidity and soft orchard fruit
• Smoked Cheddar with Jaboulet Crozes-Hermitage – smoky, robust cheddar enhanced by Syrah’s dark fruit, peppery spice, and savoury depth
• Gruyère with Château Musar 2018 – the nutty-savoury richness of Gruyère mirrored by Musar’s complex layers of dried fruit, spice, and earthy maturity
• Gorgonzola Dolce with Akashi-Tai Plum Sake – creamy, sweet blue mellowed by the luscious fruit and subtle acidity of plum sake
• Colston Bassett Stilton with Graham’s Six Grapes – the classic harmony of salty, creamy blue cheese lifted by Port’s rich berry fruit and velvet sweetness

About Cheese and Wine Pairing

Pairing wine and cheese is one of the oldest traditions in food and drink, and at Christmas it becomes something truly special. Cheeses with bold textures and rich flavours need wines with balance, acidity, or sweetness to complement them.
