What’s the difference between cow, sheep, and goat milks?  Why are some cheeses decadently gooey and some are crumbly hard?  Our ABCs of Cheese Class will provide everything you need to know about cheese and give you the chance to ask all those pressing cheese questions you have.  Join our head cheesemonger, Molly Hess, for an evening of cheese essentials with a tasting of cheese styles and pairing ideas.  Wine and beer service included.

Take a ringside seat as Old World wines go toe-to-toe with their New World rivals.  We’ll pour pairs of wines from each team to enjoy with a selection of artisan cheese to see whether centuries of tradition can take the punches of the new kids on the block.  At the end of the night, you’ll be the referee and help crown the winner for the evening’s showdown.

Help us welcome Michigan’s Urban Coast Winery to Marché!  Matt Knighton, Founder of Urban Coast, will present his four wines alongside pairings tailored for each offering.  Located at the same latitude as Bordeaux and the Willamette Valley, Michigan’s Leelanau Peninsula enjoys cool breezes and sandy soils that create ideal conditions for balanced, expressive wines with natural acidity and bright fruit character.   Come explore what Michigan has to offer.

Join the fun in this popular annual session.  It’s Halloween time so we’re celebrating with a cheese and Halloween candy pairing!  Yep, those chocolate bars and candy corn can be an unexpected and delicious match with our many styles of world-class cheeses.  We’ll even pair up the perfect wine and beer for a frighteningly delightful and fun evening.  Costumes optional. This class will be held a few doors away at Park & Oak.

Let our team of cheesemongers guide you through the steps of designing your cheese boards with artistry and ease. We’ll look at cheese selections, how much to buy, accompaniments and presentation possibilities - from grazing boards and after-dinner plates to an inspired lunch or dinner. And of course, we’ll taste our way through several recommendations. Wine and beer service included. 

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens… gather the gal pals for a melodious yuletide evening.  Leave the planning to us and come revel in the best of Marché as we casually guide you through pairings of sparkling wines, cheeses, and accouterments, kicking off the holiday season with some our favorite things. This class will be held a few doors away at Park & Oak.
