Cheese buffet
We also provide cheese platters of 150 grams p.p. We can either decide on the selection in collaboration with you we can choose for you. We will put together a mix of goat, soft or smear ripened, washed rind, semi-hard and blue-veined cheeses. We garnish each cheese board with fresh fruit, nuts and dried fruits. A cheese platter is possible for parties of 10 persons or more.

Accompanying wines
Cheese and wine go excellently together, provided one takes into account some combination rules.
The flavors of the two natural products must, after all, be in balance.
Here are a few combination principles, and you can also take a look at our winelist:
| Fresh cheeses Serve here a dry, muted red or white wine such as Sancerre or Sauvignon blanc |
| Soft cheeses Go for a sophisticated and airy wine: Beaujolais, Bergerac, Bordeaux or Corbières |
| Semi-hard cheese The color of wine that you pair with these cheeses does not matter. That being said, you may do well by opting for light, soft and dry wines: Muscadet, Mâcon, Côtes de Provence, Rosé d’Anjou, Beaujolais, Corbières |
| Hard cheeses Drink a dry, fruity wine with hard cheeses, such as Sancerre |
| Blue or ripe cheeses These kinds of cheeses are best suited to a full bodied red wine: Saint-Emilion, Pomerol, Burgundy or Fleuri |
| Cheeses with a washed rind The pronounced flavour is suited to a full-bodied wine with a rich flavor: Burgundy, Pomerol or Saint-Emilion |
