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:
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!
