The Cheese & Wine festival, now in its second year, will be dedicated this time to ‘Produce of the world’. Along some of the best cheeses and wines from the UK, there will also be a unique opportunity to taste and buy an array of products from France, Italy and Sicily, Switzerland, Spain and more. It’s a must-attend event for all cheese and wine lovers, and a great opportunity to learn more about this perfect combination.
Highlights include ‘The total cheese experience’ – a cheese making demonstration with the legendary Bob Kitchin (as seen on TV & radio), who will be turning milk into cheese in just 40 minutes. Other highlights include BBC Master Chef winner Steven Wallis, who will demonstrate how to make Salad of Tallegio with pickled pumpkin, figs, hazelnuts, Autumn leaves and truffled Sourdough Croutons, Chef Yohan Alias from Le Cafe Maritime in Bordeaux demonstrating how to prepare and serve samples of regional French cuisine, tutored cheese and wine tastings and more.
Companies will be selling a variety of cheeses and wines from around the world, for example a group of producers from Bordeaux in France - showcasing cheese, wine and cognac, and a mobile deli dedicated to Sicilian cheeses and wines. Also there will be cheese making kits, cheese-cakes, accessories and more. Plan the event around lunch or dinner and enjoy some delicious hot savoury foods made with cheese or wine.

When we think about cooking with cheese we tend to think of using parmesan in our pasta, or some mature cheddar topped on toast, but there are a lot of different recipes out there involving cheese and similarly there are a lot of different cheeses.
