We love doing guided tastings because we love to educate cheese lovers!

We are happy to customize tastings for any group, interest, or occasion. Our in shop guided tasting includes 4 cheeses and a beer or wine pairing for each. Your dedicated monger will talk about each cheese, the paired wine or beer, and basic pairing principles. $50 per person - email us at cheese@trucklerva.com to set up a tasting!

Looking for a more formal Cheese 101 experience? Our 101 tasting includes 4 cheeses (totaling 3/4 of a lb) and written tasting notes with pairing suggestions. $75 per person. We discuss a brief introduction to cheese history, the animals from which cheese is made (and why!), and cheese ingredients. We talk about the different categories of cheese and taste 4 different cheeses (different milks, styles, regions) and talk about how to taste cheese, how to buy cheese, and how to store cheese. We also cover the basics of how to pair cheese with food and beverages.
