Product Highlights

Swap the slopes for a seat in front of the laptop or tv and join us for Après Cheese, a tasting experience inspired by the après-ski culture of the Alps — where rich cheeses, hearty wines, and good company warm you from the inside out.

This indulgent evening brings the magic of the mountains to York, with a menu full of alpine favourites. Think nutty Comté, oozy Raclette, and bold mountain blues, all paired with robust reds, crisp whites, and a touch of alpine sparkle. It’s the perfect way to embrace the chill, cheese in hand and wine in glass.

 

In the (2-person) box:

  • 5 selections of  Wines (roughly 175ml each)
  • 5 portions of Cheese (roughly 80g each)
  • A pairings menu.
  • Tasting instructions.

Harry Baines, or as he’s known in the streets, ‘The Big Cheese’, will informally guide you through the menu and pairings LIVE on Facebook at 8:00pm GMT on Saturday 25th October 2025.

Please note: The products in the tasting will vary from the picture. All tasting boxes will arrive on either Thursday or Friday before the event. Please note that we cannot guarantee which date you will receive your box.

How it works?

Sign in to your Facebook account, and live-stream the Big Cheese at 8.00pm on Saturday 25th October 2025 as he guides you through this unique tasting experience. This tasting is a fantastic way to sample different flavours as we offer you bespoke pairings of 5 wines and 5 kinds of cheese. Harry will guide you through each pairing and ensure that your weekends are entertaining and informative (if not a little tipsy)!

Delivery

Delivery is included in the price. We will send out your tasting box, which will arrive on either Thursday or Friday before the event.

Where to keep your box

When your tasting box arrives, put the cheese in the fridge straight away. Keep the white wine chilled and the red wine at room temperature to really get the flavours going.

When to serve the cheese

Make sure to take the cheeses out of the fridge beforehand (we recommend an hour to an hour-and-a-half before the live event). It wants to come down to room temperature before you taste it.

The cheeses go well with your choice of bread, crackers, and chutney, and you can also serve them with olives and meat. Get creative! There are no wrong accompaniments here.

Order your Virtual Cheese Tasting kit today to make sure you’ve got everything you need before the LIVE event on Saturday evening (25th October 2025@ 8.00pm).
