A GLOBAL WINE & CHEESE TASTING

What Grows Together, Goes Together

There’s a reason some of the best pairings have been enjoyed together for generations.

Join us for an intimate guided tasting built around the idea that what grows together, goes together. Led by wine expert Morgan Mellish alongside former cheesemonger, Rachel Barkanic, we’ll explore five cheeses paired with wines from the same regions, discovering how a shared sense of place shapes what’s in the glass and on the plate.

Morgan brings 21 years of experience in the wine industry, including a background in winemaking, and a deep appreciation for all things culinary and cultural. Rachel brings a background in food and beverage and experience as a cheesemonger, with a passion for good food, wine, and the art of pairing the two.
