Cheese, wine, an iconic Sydney landmark... what's not to love!? The Fort Denison Australian Cheese Tasting & Wine Experience is a delight of aromas, textures and tastes. Learn to appreciate the best of Australian cheese. During this delightful experience you will be taught how to pair the flavours with wine, and hear about the art of cheese-making.
Whilst this afternoon on Fort Denison is mostly a cheese showcase, the experience is so much more! Fort Denison, the harbour, the views, and an amazingly passionate cheese connoisseur make this a very memorable occasion.
Enjoy a glass of champagne on arrival and take a moment to appreciate the location. You'll then be escorted to the private dining room and seated around a fully laid table complete with amazing cheese, wine, and cheese accompaniments.
Spend the next two hours tasting and learning about flavours, styles and milk types such as goat, sheep, cow and buffalo. Hear about cheese making processes, and with some of Australia's best wines on hand, learn how to perfectly complement your cheese choices. Best of all you don't have to remember every single detail - tasting notes do the work for you!
Not many people know the rich history of cheese Sydney has, starring Bennelong Point as an original cattle offload point for the ships. How appropriate to experience the best of Australian produce from an amazing historical location. This is quintessential Sydney - epicurean, fascinating, beautiful!
