The tasting is hosted by Tom Burford, one of the world's leading experts in Heritage apples and Kate Collier, artisan cheese expert and co-owner of Feast! All attendees will have the opportunity to taste many styles of cheese and a selection of our area's finest Heritage fruit. A worksheet of tasting notes and pairing guidelines is provided.



    Talking Taste with Children
    by Sara Teaster

    For Children 2 and a half and Up and their parents
    This 30-minute class on food will explore the connection between smell and taste and introduce children to the adjectives used to describe taste (spicy, sweet, salty, tart, tangy…). A blindfolded "taste test" will conclude the class. Participants who complete the class will receive a "certified taste tester" award and a prize.
