Monday, May 19, 7:00 pm – Cheese Board Arranging Workshop with Life.Love.Cheese

by

It’s time to grab a blanket, some pals and a whole lot of snacks! This summer, WBUR’s Field Trip meetup series is dedicated to helping you create the perfect picnic with classes on cheese board making, wine tasting, floral arranging and more.

With Memorial Day right around the corner, now is a great time to learn some tricks and tips for making a beautiful and shareable cheese board arrangement. Join us on May 19 at 7 pm for a grazing board arranging workshop led by Life. Love. Cheese.

Life. Love. Cheese. focuses on American artisanal cheese. You’ll begin the workshop with a brief cheese tasting to introduce you to some amazing American cheese makers.  Your instructor will also demo some tips and tricks for making a beautiful cheese board arrangement. Then you’ll take a crack at making your own cheese board to take home!
