These popular evenings are a fun way to further your cheese knowledge in an informal and informative setting. Held in the exclusive and intimate Fraser’s Dining Room, guests receive a plate of cheeses that are matched to wines. The format is five cheeses with five tastes of different wines (please note, they are not full glasses).
The Taste and Terroir Evenings are presented by local cheese expert, Nicholas Bath, from the popular Blue Cow Cheese Company. Nick established the Blue Cow Cheese Company in 1998, following a decade of experience working for some of Europe’s most celebrated cheese producers and gourmet food companies. His aim was to acquaint WA consumers with an endless variety of amazing cheese textures and flavours.
All guests are seated at the large boardroom style table, creating an open and interesting forum for guests. Nick welcomes feedback from the group and shares his enthusiasm and knowledge, happily answering any questions you may have.
This tasting is as enjoyable for a novice with no formal wine tasting experience as it is for someone who has years of experience.
