Summer cheese & wine with Patrick McGuigan & Bolney Wine – FUNDRAISER, SOLD OUT
About this event
Learn to create the ultimate picnic or garden party spread with innovative cheese & wine pairings at this special tasting event.
Cheese is not just for Christmas! Join cheese writer Patrick McGuigan and wine expert Helen Chesshire for a summery cheese and wine tasting to raise funds for the Community Kitchen. We can’t wait to welcome this fun duo back after their previous sold-out events. From herbaceous sheep’s milk cheeses and creamy bries to farmhouse cheddar fit for a Ploughman’s and leaf-wrapped cheese, Patrick and Helen will be exploring how to serve the perfect summery cheeseboard at barbecues, picnics and garden parties with hot weather wines to match, plus seasonal accompaniments. You will taste six cheeses and six wines, and hear tips on the best ways to cook with cheese – from grilled halloumi to salads and frittatas.

He is a senior judge at the World Cheese Awards, a member of the Guild des Fromagers, teaches Academy of Cheese training courses at the School of Fine Food in London and also runs the Online Cheese School.
