Who hasn't heard of Port and Stilton as a combination, but why are they considered a match made in heaven?

Well now is your chance to find out why this works, plus what a way to spend a dark cold winters evening , so make sure to bring some of your friends along !

We all know that there are many different types of cheese but did you know that there a several different types of Port, from red to tawny and even white!

You will taste your way through 6 luscious Ports, while trying 6 different cheeses from the light and crumbly cheeses to the rich and salty blue cheeses.

There will be tried-and-tested pairings and some more unusual, eye-opening ones that will enhance the rich fruity flavours of the Ports.

Among the ports you will try are:

  • Chilled White Port - never tried it? It's delicious, especially with tonic.
  • Tawny Port - A good, aged tawny is like Christmas in a bottle.
  • Late Bottled Vintage (LBV)
  • Ruby Port - packed full of jammy fruit.
  • Crusted Port - with all the fun of learning how to decant.
  • There will even be a Vintage Port for you to try ;-)

This will be a relaxed and eye-opening evening, during which you will learn how Port is made and be surprised by the different styles.

This makes a great gift for any foodie !
