tastings & pairings

Whether you are new to the world of cheese or a well-established cheese lover, we offer a variety of ways you can explore and enjoy farmstead and artisan cheeses. We go beyond catering, creating personalized cheese tastings and pairings (with or without wine, cider or beer). Interested in creating an unforgettable event in your home, at the office or your favorite venue? Call us - let's talk cheese!

pasture to plate: whey, wheels, & wedges

We’re with you - who doesn’t love knowing the cheese they’re eating is the freshest it can be? Honoring the craft of cheesemaking is what we’re all about. Because we feature farmstead and artisan cheeses we do our best to get to know the cheesemakers and their cheese firsthand whenever possible. Each cheesemaker imparts their artistry, patience, pride – and a bit of their soul – to every hand crafted cheese made. We believe each cheese provides a taste of the soil from which it is lovingly grown. 

The result?

The most delicious domestic cheeses for you to enjoy. We think it’s a winning combination. 

Welcome! Join us to learn more about whey, wheels and wedges at one or more of our upcoming classes and events.
