Classes and Events

We host a range of classes and events to pique the interest of any cheese lover. From cheeseboard workshops to cheese and wine classes, to scraping cheese on Raclette Sundays or melting cheese for our cozy Fondue Nights, we love serving Richmond the best cheese! We are also happy to schedule private tastings and classes. Check back regularly or follow us on social media for the latest scheduled classes and events.

Please join us on September 23rd for an evening with Austrian winemaker Landhaus Mayer and Free Run Wine Merchants! We'll celebrate Almabtrieb, the early fall tradition of bringing cows down from alpine pastures to lower lands in anticipation of colder months ahead.  The cows are honored with flower crowns and attendees will also be crowned. Visit five cheese and wine pairing stations and chat with Paul from Landhaus!  Grab a spot!

Join us for a Communal Guided Tasting and see what we're excited about in the case and what's new to the shelves in a more conversational setting. We see these tastings as a more intimate way to explore tastings with the cheese community. The tasting includes 5 cheeses and a wine (or beer) pairing for each. Your cheesemonger will talk about each cheese, the paired wine or beer, and basic pairing principles. Grab a spot at one of our six person communal table tastings, eat some cheese, and maybe make a friend or two.

Social and Networking Events

We love hosting groups who want to learn a thing or two about cheese and wine, in a casual, fluid setting that lends itself to chatting.
