Champagne & Cheese!

An evening of culinary effervescence!

Friday December 18th 7:30-9:00pm

Just in time for the holidays! Join us as we take several exceptional cheeses that pair especially well with a wonderful selection of French Grower Champagnes and enjoy one of life’s simple pleasures.

Grower Champagnes are made in the Champagne region of France and are produced by the same estate that owns the vineyards from which the grapes come. While large Champagne houses may use grapes sourced from as many as 80 different vineyards, Grower Champagnes tend to be more terroir focused, being sourced from single or closely located vineyards around a village.

Seats are $65 per person.

Your receipt will act as your ticket(s). Please bring with you to the class.

No refunds will be allowed after ticket purchase, however you can transfer your ticket to another person should you find that you cannot make it.
