Cheese aficionados won’t want to miss the Ultimate Cheese & Charcuterie Party at SideDoor in Corona del Mar, culminating from another successful creamery takeover series, on Wednesday, January 15 from 6 to 9 p.m. with a special Cheese Education Class from 5:30-6 p.m.

Known for its award-winning cheese and charcuterie offerings, SideDoor started the monthly series to highlight unique creameries, dedicating one evening a month to small-batch cheesemakers and specialty cheeses.

Twice a year the series reaches its pinnacle with the ultimate celebration of Fromage. The indulgent evening will showcase the previous five months of creameries in the series including Haystack Creamery from Colorado (August), Boutique creameries from Sonoma County (September), Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese from Kentucky (October), River's Edge Chevrè from Oregon (November), and Cowgirl Creamery from California (December).

Before the main event, get the full foodie experience and attend the Cheese Education Class hosted by SideDoor’s own certified cheesemonger, sommelier and cicerone, Tracy Nelsen. Learn about the types, styles, aging techniques and process of creating each of the highlighted cheeses while tasting the perfect cheese and beverage pairings. Tracy will also be on hand during the party to educate guests on the various cheeses presented and to recommend the perfect pairings. 

 Cheese Education Class: $25 per person: includes five cheeses and five beverage pairings.

Ultimate Cheese & Charcuterie Party: $75 per person: includes one complimentary glass of bubbles, tax and gratuity
