"World Cheese Tour"

Grab your Virtual Suitcase and join me on a tour of some of the world's top cheese making regions. I’m the weekly cheese columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, and I want to introduce you to some of the cheeses I love best. Over five evenings, we'll "travel" to France, Italy and Spain and then back to the U.S.A. twice. We'll taste exceptional cheeses from each country—with fine wine, of course. Come once if you like...or sign on for the Grand Tour.  

Elaine Bell Catering, Napa Valley's premier caterer, is our host. We'll gather in Elaine's comfortable dining room for an aperitif and hors d'oeuvre, then sit down for a taste exploration. We'll end the evening with a cup of soup, and I'll stamp your Cheese Passport. The stamp entitles you to a generous discount at Napa's Oxbow Cheese Merchant.

  

During these guided sessions, you'll sample a variety of cheese styles and hone your tasting skills. I'll also share some tips on how to select, store and serve cheese. Seven exceptional cheeses, two hand-picked winesdifferent every time. Treat a friend. Bring a date. Or purchase classes as a gift.

"I have taken almost 30 classes at the Cheese School of San Francisco, and if I had to pick one instructor who I felt was the best of the best, it would be Janet Fletcher."
