Cheese & Wine & Chester – The Best Combination in the World
This October, I ran our first tasty, varied, fun and informative Cheese and Wine Tour in Chester. Planned for a long time, finally it happened! I feel so lucky to live in a county producing tremendous cheeses. Take traditional cheeses such as the classic cloth bound Cheshire – Mr’s Bournes is my go to. Yet exciting new creations are appearing on the shelves every day created by up and coming cheese makers.
I have been so lucky over the years to work with such Cheshire icons as Carole Faulkner. Carole founded The Cheese Shop Chester on August the 1st, 1985. The Cheese Shop Chester stocks incredible local and global cheeses. Many cheeses still made in traditional ways in Cheshire are to be found in this fascinating cheese mongers.
Cheshire cheese, the oldest cheese in the United Kingdom (Queen Victoria’s favourite), at one time only made in the Roman garrisons in Chester, has to feature on a Cheese and Wine Tour. Therefore, it was never in doubt that we would showcase this salty, crumbly, classic of the cheese world in spectacular form. Pureists don’t be alarmed, you’ll be getting cheese in a variety of guises. However, the classic cheese board will never go unfeatured. Depending how much extra wine you drink on top of the 6 glasses of really superb wine included, we’ll make your night a memorable one.
Chester loves Cheese
Along with some of Chester’s best restaurants and bars, we’ve put together a four stop tour for all cheese and wine lovers. It is the ultimate combo. This evening is for every level of wine and cheese lover, regardless of how much or little you know about it. Knowing you like it is enough.
Along the way, you’ll savour exceptional cheeses and wines whilst those in the know will give tips and make suggestions without any stuffiness.
Book this with friend or family, but nobody who can be pursuaded to drive. We want wine fiends.
Ready yourself for evening supping and loads of great accompaniments – Cheese and Wine Touring is here!
