Cheese and Wine Tasting at City Centre

Join us at Loki Great Western Arcade 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.

Six Cheese & Wine Tastings to Explore

We currently have six different volumes of our Cheese & Wine Tasting, each with its own selection of wines, cheeses and flavour combinations. So, if you have joined us before, your next tasting will not necessarily be the same. Simply book a different volume and enjoy a fresh set of pairings.

Below, you’ll find a sample description from one of our volumes.

Sample Pairing

• 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
