Wine & Cheese Pairing | Friday Night Tasting Series

Cheese and wine are synonymous—but do you know why? Explore the art and science behind this timeless pairing. Discover how the saltiness of aged cheddar brings out hidden notes in a bold red, while the creaminess of fresh chèvre complements the crispness of a bright white. The interplay between these two classics promises a truly enlightening and delicious evening—4 different wines and 4 different artisan cheeses.

Join us for Wine & Cheese pairing as part of our Friday Night Tasting Series—four Painted Horse wines paired perfectly with four local artisan cheeses hand-selected by PHW's founder Pamela. Our knowledgeable wine steward Mary will guide you through this exploration, teaching you the principles behind successful pairings so you can recreate them at home. Held in the privacy of our Cellar Room with just 14 guests for an intimate evening.

This evening is perfect for:

• Couples ready to elevate their date night with something more substantive than dinner-and-a-movie

• Partners who want to finally understand why certain wine and cheese combinations work (and why others fall flat)

• Anyone who orders cheese boards at restaurants but wants to know what they're really tasting

• Girlfriends planning a sophisticated night out that's both fun and educational

Here's What Your Evening Will Look Like

Arrive early to browse the tasting room, wander the vineyard, meet Dandelion our baby cow, Pedro the goat, and the horses.

At 6pm, settle into our cozy Cellar Room where soft lighting and an intimate atmosphere set the tone. Mary, our wine steward, guides you through four Painted Horse wines paired with four local artisan cheeses—the kind you won't find in your grocery store aisle.

You'll discover why certain pairings sing, and others fall flat, gaining the confidence and knowledge to select and pair wine and cheese like a pro. With just 14 people in the room, there's space to ask questions, debate which pairing you love best, and genuinely connect with your date or friends for the evening.

What's Included

• 90-minute guided tasting with Wine Steward (6-7:30pm)

• 4 Painted Horse wines paired with 4 local artisan cheeses hand-selected by PHW's founder, Pamela

We're keeping this intimate at just 14 seats so everyone can savor each pairing without feeling rushed. Our Friday Night Tasting Series fills up fast—couples and friend groups claim these evenings as their go-to ritual, and Wine & Cheese rotates every 3 weeks (just 4 times during the full series).

Never thought much about wine and cheese pairings before? Perfect. Mary makes this approachable and genuinely engaging—some of our favorite moments happen when guests discover why a pairing works (or hilariously disagree about their favorites) and leave feeling like they actually understand what they're tasting for.
