 We are VERY excited about this next Cheese School!
Firstly because it is in association with The Ethicurean and secondly because of the amazing location.
It is on the 30th October at the stunningly beautiful Walled Garden in Wrington, North Somerset. This is only 20 minutes drive from the centre of Bristol and well worth the journey. We can arrange transport or put you in touch with nearby B&B's for those of you who are planning to make the most of the beer and wine on offer.
 The day runs from 10.30 till 4pm and will be hosted by us, Fiona Beckett and Jess Trethowan.
Our 'classroom' for the day will be at the bottom of the Walled Garden, in the orchard and we shall be sat around beautifully dressed tables (thank you to our lovely friends from Toast) in a wonderful vintage marquee provided for us by similarly wonderful people Over The Moon!
We will be joined by some of Britain's finest cheesemakers, brewers and other food experts to bring you a whole day of cheese and pairings.
Joe Schneider, one of the UK's best cheesemakers and producer of the wonderful Stichelton, will be at this Cheese School to talk about how and where Stichelton is made and how it differs from other blue cheeses.
Somerset cheesemaker Tim Homewood will show you how to make cheese in your own kitchen. This workshop will be held in the amazing Cider Barn at the bottom of the orchard.
Todd and Maugan Trethowan of Trethowan's Dairy will be introducing you to British Territorial Cheeses and
Fiona will be running the very well received Amazing Tastes session and also the "Cheese Smack Down" with Andrew Cooper of the Bristol Beer Factory and Peter Snowman of The Bristol Cider Shop.
Tom Herbert of Hobbs House Bakery will be creating the perfect cheese and bread matches with Fiona and Ben Ticehurst, our expert cheesemonger will be sharing his passion for British and French cheeses and looking at comparisons between them.
And as we will be surrounded by orchards, we will also be hearing from Jack Adair-Bevan - one of the owners of The Ethicurean, about the different varieties of apples and how they pair with the various cheeses we will be tasting on the day.
A delicious lunch will be provided by the wonderful Ethicurean Chefs and you will leave fully cheesed up at around 4 'o' clock.
Tickets cost £125 and for this you get the passion and experience of some of Britain's best cheesemakers, the wine and food matching expertise of Fiona Beckett (The Guardian's wine writer), as much cheese as you can eat, plenty of wine, beer, cider and a lovely meal to boot.
At the end of the day, there will be an opportunity to buy cheeses, apple cake, wines, beers and signed copies of Fiona's books. Buy Tickets/Vouchers here for you and or your loved caesophile friends and family.
If you're coming from further afield, we've put together a list of some wonderful places to stay and would also be very happy to make recommendations of other things to do over the weekend and some great places to eat too.
Can't make the 30th October? Don't worry! We have a Christmas evening event in December and we also have gift cards and vouchers available at £10, £25, £50 and £100.
