Fall & Winter Classes & Events

I teach public cheese making and and private wine & cheese classes all over the Bay Area! (I no longer teach private cheesemaking classes- just pairings!) Find out more about my private classes here, or email kirstin@itsnotyouitsbrie.com with questions. As a friendly reminder, these classes fill up fast. If they’re listed but sold out, get on the school’s waiting list- sometimes spots open up. 

  • Besides my June Cheese & Wine Pairing 101 class, this summer is booked with private classes, new projects, and vacation! I am not teaching any public classes beyond this until fall.

  • Fall events will be listed as soon as planned. Thank you for your interest!

Cheese & Wine Pairing 101

Legend has it that cheese and wine are the ultimate power couple, but if you’ve ever had a pairing bomb, you know that the two can be a tricky duo. Don't worry, it's not you! Wine and cheese are actually harder to pair together than they seem. To start, tannins, oak, acid, fruit flavors, funky notes, and molds often compete with each other, and it's common to end up with a combo that just doesn't click. In this class, cheese and wine expert Kirstin Jackson will divulge her pairing secrets so that you have the tools to harmoniously enjoy the two at home without fear. You'll learn tricks of the trade, "rules" that make pairing easy, and she'll share her go-to wines and cheeses that pair well with pretty much anything. The class will taste through 7 cheeses and 4 wines.
