This experience was interactive, inclusive and very enjoyable. The presentation was fantastic and Claudia who took us through the various delicious cheese and wine examples was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I would recommend this to anyone especially those who have not yet had the pleasure of appreciating cheese.

The cheese tasting was excellent. Claudia is not only extremely knowledgable, but also so engaging in her delivery. I learnt new things, tasted new cheeses and really enjoyed matching the cheese with wine and chocolate (who knew cheese and chocolate could taste so good!!).
- Kathryn O’Reilly
Claudia was FANTASTIC and I thought that we really got our money’s worth. Great day & I will definitely be recommending/purchasing for people I know.
