EDUCATION

From Cheese 101, which will catch you up on the basics, to Mystery of the Caves, our affineur's exclusive tour of our subterranean cheese caves. We've designed our cheese classes to help you hone your palate and appreciate food. Go beyond the basics with wine and cheese pairings, beer and cheese pairings, cheesemaking classes and trips to local farms, or book the classroom for private events. And yes, no matter what the subject matter, you taste in every class.

All classes are held at our Greenwich Village location: 254 Bleecker Street between 6th and 7th Avenues.
