PASSIONE VINO X LA FROMAGERIE 13 MAY 2026

Join us for a Spring Cheese & Wine Tasting at LA FROMAGERIE Marylebone for the next in our series of collaborative events with Passione Vino, Shoreditch, co-hosted by Jordan LeBlanc and Max Melvin.

A Spring Cheese & Wine Tasting
High altitude Northern Italian Cheese & Wine from Lombardy to Friuli

 Spring is not usually associated with mountain cheese because of the popularity of Gruyère style cheeses served in the winter (made in the previous summers) and, of course, Vacherin and Raclette. However, in Northern Italy, spring is when soft cheeses made from the milk of animals grazing on lush spring mountain pasture come into season. These fresh, light, aromatic cheeses are perfect for the warmer months. Wines made at altitude in cooler temperatures are often similarly aromatic, light and bright and therefore pair beautifully.

About Max Melvin:
Max has learnt his cheesemonger trade at LA FROMAGERIE, he now leads the educational and tutorial side of our business, hosting events offsite for private clients and wine companies such as Berry Bros. & Rudd, 67 Pall Mall & Hedonism. Whilst cheese takes a natural lead, our events also focus on the regions, the terroir and the season, to give an informative insight into how food pairs together and how food has evolved through history by traditions, political, climate and economical change. Max brings an exceptional informative element to his events, however they are also relaxed and convivial, encouraging conversation and most importantly an enjoyable time! Through our events we have worked with many disciplines pairing cheese with sake, whisky, beers, ciders and of course wine.
