About

Vegan cheeses have improved in quality and taste in the last couple of years. Traditional cheese-making techniques are now being applied to nondairy milks. The result is artisan nut-based cheeses that are flavorful and have great texture. These cheeses are perfect for a vegan grazing board and holiday entertaining.

You'll sample cheeses from a variety of small creameries along with other tasty treats and vegan wine. There will be a short discussion on the cheese-making process and what makes wine vegan (or not), and the basics of how to create a vegan grazing board. Note that there will be non-alcoholic drinks available for those who would prefer that option.

As part of your registration, you're welcome to bring a second person along for this experience. Think of it as a date night, a friends' night, or just an excuse to partner up with someone to learn about and eat some tasty food.
