Wine and cheese tastings are fun, casual events and a great way to spend a relaxed evening with friends and loved ones. These events are easy to host with modern dinnerware and stylish wine glasses. Cheeses can be served in decorative trays. Here are some entertaining tips to host a stylish wine and cheese tasting. Food and Drinks For this fun party, you need different kinds of wine, cheese and side dishes that will bring out the flavors of the wines and cheeses. Make the tasting unique and fun by playing mix and match with new flavor combinations. Research online and ask wine enthusiasts for new flavors and combinations you can try before deciding on a menu for the event. Share your personal favorite pairings at the party with a beautifully-designed menu. Serve four to six types of cheeses with different red and white wines and give your guests a chance to discover their own favorite pairings. As for the side dishes, bread and fresh fruit are two great choices. Crusty bread such as baguettes complement both wine and cheese. Lightly toast the bread before serving. Serve sliced pears and apples to bring out the flavors of the wines and cheeses. Modern Dinnerware for the Spread Make the tasting a casual affair with a buffet style spread where guests can choose cheeses and pair them with their favorite wines. Serve cheese in wedges on decorative trays and platters. Choose modern dinnerware options like slate platters and colorful glass decorative trays. These vivid elements can add an element of playfulness to the event. Set down the appropriate cheese knives next to the hard and soft cheeses so your guests can serve themselves. This modern dinnerware collection can be your inspiration for the color scheme of the party. Choose napkins, votive candles and cheese knives based on the color scheme of the party to infuse these colors into the table decor. The Wine Remember to serve the different wines at the right temperature to host a successful tasting. White wine is served chilled while red wines are best served at room temperature. Place the wine bottles in decorative trays on the buffet tables and label them correctly. Make the tasting a fun event and let your guests make a note of their favorite pairings by placing a stack of blank fold-over note cards with envelopes.
