Virtual Cheese Tasting, Pairing and Online Classes
Virtual Cheese Tasting, Pairing and Online Classes
Cheese Grotto's virtual cheese tasting sessions are live, one hour, expert-hosted Zoom classes where artisan cheese ships to your door before the call begins. Formats include cheese and wine, cheese and chocolate, and charcuterie board-building, with kits sized for individuals, couples, or teams of four to ten.
A cheese tasting can now happen anywhere, guided step by step by a professional cheesemonger who walks you through flavor, texture, and pairing while your group tastes together over video call. Every session in this virtual cheese tasting collection is built around a different format, so you can match the experience to your group size, budget, and occasion.
A Virtual Cheese Tasting Kit for Groups
The Private Virtual Cheese and Wine Tasting Kit ships three artisan cheeses and curated pairings directly to your door before the session, making it the most popular virtual cheese tasting kit for groups of couples and small teams. Everything arrives ready to taste, so no shopping or prep is needed before your group joins the call.
Teams of four to ten find it especially easy to coordinate, since each participant receives their own portion ahead of time and joins the same guided Zoom session. Once your kit arrives, proper storage matters just as much as the tasting itself. Cheese left out too long loses its texture and flavor, so many guests keep leftovers fresh afterward using a cheese storage solution built for the fridge or counter.
What Happens During a Virtual Cheese Tasting Class
A virtual cheese tasting class runs up to one hour and is led live by an experienced cheesemonger who covers tasting technique, pairing fundamentals, and how to build a cheese board. The session format stays the same across all tasting types, whether cheese and wine, cheese and chocolate, or charcuterie board-building.
Once your order is placed, the team confirms your preferred date, time, and group size, then emails your session link ahead of time. If a live class sparks a longer-term interest in artisan cheese, many guests move on to a monthly or quarterly cheese subscription to keep exploring new styles between sessions.
Who These Sessions Are Built For
Small virtual cheese tasting classes suit couples or a quiet evening with close friends, while larger kit-based sessions work best for remote teams, client appreciation events, and family gatherings spread across different cities. Every format includes digital tasting literature, so guests can follow along even during their first cheese tasting.
