Learn to build a show-stopping cheese and charcuterie board in this deliciously fun all-ages workshop. We'll discuss selecting cheese that will wow any type of guest, demystify the cheese counter, give tips on buying and tasting cheese, and show you how to pair it. Then we'll use a broad selection of accompaniments to create a plate that everyone will want to take a photo of before they dig in.

You'll be able to take your newly completed board home to share with loved ones (or eat it for lunch!).

With a simple system for categorizing and selecting cheese, you'll never feel at a loss at the cheese counter again. Taught by Cathy Billings, Local Cheesemoger & Chef, this robust class promises to be so much more than a 'make a pretty platter' class (though it will be that too!) Cathy is an engaging teacher who encourages a fun, interactive environment while she explains what’s happening in a very down-to-earth and friendly format.

Attendees will leave this class with:

• A complete cheese and charcuterie board to enjoy at home

• A fresh appreciation for the magic that is cheese

• Confidence and knowledge to reproduce the same results at home

Please note: masks are required.
