Cheese & Wine Pairing in Bristol

Calling All Cheese & Wine Lovers! Spend a relaxed and fun time in the company of an experienced professional wine host and a delicious selection of artisan cheese and fine wines from around the world as part of a small group.

Starting off with a fun introduction to wine tasting, your host will deliver lots of essential tips on everything from creating the perfect cheese board and pairing cheese or other food with wine, to advice on buying wine and how to find quality and value.  You'll taste each wine 'blind' to remove any preconception and focus on flavour before re-tasting it with a carefully chosen artisan cheese.

We'll explain why each pairing works before the big reveal when we'll explain a little about each wine and cheese, where they are from, who has made them and how.  

A most delicious way to learn about the world of wine and cheese in a fun, hands-on way.

The Venue

The Kensington Arms, Bristol

Winner of Bristol Good Food Awards Best Gastropub 2018, the Kensington - or The Kenny as it’s more popularly known - is nestled in the heart of Redland, and has long been a hot spot for South West foodies. Classic British pub food, locally sourced, carefully prepared and beautifully cooked has always been at the heart of The Kenny... and it always will be. All menus are designed by head chef Luke Hawkins and Josh Eggleton, and the specials boards are constantly changing with delicious seasonal dishes, filled with fresh produce sourced from the South West.
