In this class by Maître Fromager and James Beard Award-winning author Max McCalman, you will taste a range of cheeses and wines alongside one another.

Descriptions of the wines and cheeses will be provided, along with a rating sheet that will help you "find" your palate. As you come away with some "rules" for which types of cheeses and wines pair best, you'll be sure to pick up nuances you never noticed before!

All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.
