Understanding the nuances of cheese and wine pairings, from the distinct flavors and aromas of the individual components to how those change and complement each other, enhances our appreciation of this classic match. The day starts with a sensory evaluation course taught by experts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Center for Dairy Research. We’ll take those lessons on a visit to the American Wine Project and have an expert-led pairing session. We’ll wrap up with a wine and cheese-themed lunch prepared by a renowned local chef.
