Those who can't do, teach! This is a famous quote by Woody Allen that has sparked considerable controversy. We would like to respectfully disagree with the master and simply turn the quote around: those who can, teach!
Following this motto, we share our knowledge of wine, cheese, sardines, etc. during our monthly seminars. But one thing is certain: it won't be like school. Instead, we invite you to discover the different flavors and pairing possibilities of certain products in a small group, to taste and experience them for yourselves. In the end, you will take home a good deal of background knowledge, but above all, you will have enjoyed a delightful evening. By the way, all our seminars also make excellent gifts!

Do you love lavish cheese platters but aren't sure which wine to serve with them? Is red wine really always the best match?

€52 for 4 Champagnes and 8 cheeses, including bread and butter
We are often asked which wine we recommend as a universal accompaniment to cheese. Our answer: "If in doubt, Champagne!" We will discover together how the acidity and effervescence of four very different Champagnes pair exceptionally well with the milk fat and sweetness of cheese. We will also taste classic cheeses and new arrivals from our cheese counter.
