Wine + Cheese Parties are scheduled for 2 hours.

Private Classes
We love talking about great cheese as much as eating it. Our classes are designed to widen your group’s appreciation for all things fromage.

Virtual Wine + Cheese Parties
Connect with your gang for a fun evening of wine and cheese with a Marché lead cheesemonger. We will guide your group through an online tasting and pairing session sure to lighten the mood, teach you a little something and, well of course, allow you to sip and taste with your favorite people wherever they may be.
Online sessions will be scheduled for 1 hour with approximately 45 minutes of live instruction/guidance from Marché with extra time for questions, comments and catching up with friends.
The starting price per registrant is $70 which includes 1 package (enough for 2 people ) containing 2 bottles of wine paired with 3 cheeses and accompaniments. Custom packages, along with shipping, are available for an additional charge.
