Things to do: Wine and cheese tasting night at Nottingham's swanky canalside restaurant
Salt and pepper, bacon and eggs, some foods are just meant to go together.
Without a doubt the greatest pairing since bread and butter is wine and cheese.
Cheese lovers in Nottingham can enjoy this sophisticated combo in an equally upmarket setting.
Cleaver & Wake, Nottingham’s premium canalside restaurant is hosting a series of fun events including spring wreath-making, and a celebration of female entrepreneurs.
The space’s popular cheese and wine-tasting evening will also return after its successful launch in March.
Starting at 6pm on Saturday 25 May, the event will be hosted by the restaurant's in-house sommelier Linzi Godrich, and Cleaver & Wake chef Callum Dovey.
There, guests will get the chance to try six different wines including sparkling, red, white, rosé and dessert wine, perfectly paired with local, British, and international cheeses.
Liam Morgan, sales events and marketing manager at Upstairs at Cleaver & Wake said: “In addition to offering the perfect location for weddings, conferences and other private events, we love to open up our stunning venue to the public too.
“Our previous series of workshops and events included everything from truffle making with local chocolatier Ellie Wharrad at Studio Chocolate, to Charlotte Tilbury makeup masterclasses.
“We’re looking forward to kick-starting this season with even more opportunities for people to experience new things in our space, with some of our most popular events also returning.”
Alongside workshops, there are also plenty of opportunities to meet new people at Upstairs at Cleaver & Wake this spring too.
