Saturday 13th March 2027 – A Celebration of Irish Cheese: St Patrick’s Day Virtual Tasting
Price range: £55.00 through £150.00
A toast to Irish cheese.
Our St Patrick's Day tasting is a celebration of Irish cheese: five farmhouse cheeses, from the washed rinds of West Cork to the creamy blues of Tipperary, each paired with a wine to match.
And somewhere at the end of the rainbow, we're searching for the pot of Gouda. (Spoiler: Ireland makes its own.) Expect good wine, great cheese and plenty of craic.
New for 2027: score every pairing from your phone with our voting portal, then find out live which one the country loved most.
In the (2-person) box:
- 5 selections of Wine (roughly 175ml each)
- 5 portions of Irish Cheese (roughly 80g each)
- A pairings menu
- Your voting card with QR code
- Tasting instructions
Harry Baines (a.k.a. The Big Cheese) will informally guide you through the menu and pairings LIVE on Facebook at 8:00pm GMT on Saturday 13th March 2027.

About This Tasting
Five Irish farmhouse cheeses, each paired with a wine to match, tasted live from your sofa the Saturday before St Patrick's Day.
New for 2027: our voting portal. Scan the QR code on the card in your box (there's nothing to download) and score every pairing from your phone as you taste. Some scores go up on the stream straight away. The rest stay hidden until the grand reveal, when we count down the pairings from last to first. Afterwards, save your tasting notes so you can track down your favourites again.
How it works
A cheese and wine tasting selection designed for two people, delivered right to your door. Sign in to Facebook and join The Big Cheese LIVE at 8.00pm on Saturday 13th March 2027 as we go in search of the pot of Gouda. Five Irish cheeses, five wines, and plenty of craic along the way.
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
Take the cheeses out of the fridge an hour to an hour and a half before the live event, so they come up to room temperature. They go well with bread, crackers, chutney, olives and cured meats. 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 (Saturday 13th March 2027 @ 8.00pm).
