Charitable Cheese! Cheese 101 Tasting benefitting Bastrop County Emergency Food Pantry (Hyde Park)

Come eat cheese for your community! This event is our "Charitable Cheese Cause," raising money for and breaking bread together to benefit Bastrop County Emergency Food Pantry. The mission of the Bastrop County Emergency Food Pantry & Support Center is to serve Bastrop County residents going through periods of transition by providing emergency food assistance, education, and support.

Note: We will be donating 20% of all revenue from this event, including ticket and beverage sales, as well as any sales at the tasting.

Our most popular tasting event - and the award-winner that put us on the map. In fact, this class includes a unique tasting menu monthly; we've had folks come back regularly! Great for those new to cheese or longtime aficionados, this is our best class to get a little bit of everything: we'll talk you through the "7 styles of cheese" while exploring multiple milk types. Better yet, each cheese comes with a unique pairing - from chocolate to cured meat, preserves to pickles, and more. 

One ticket = one person and includes:

• 7 cheeses
• 7 food pairings
• additional goodies, such as bread, olives, & corn nuts (GF crackers avail if requested in allergies)

Twenty percent of all pre-event purchases, as well as purchases at the event, will be donated to the nonprofit.

Beverages?

While water is provided at the tasting, you may choose to add on our recommended wine flight at the time of ticket purchase (below). Additionally, you may purchase beverages at the event, selecting from wine, beer, cider, sparkling water, and non-alcoholic wine.  Note: this location is not BYOB.
