Cheese & Wine

About this event

Not a cheese buffet. Not a classic wine tasting. On this evening, the only ordinary thing is the extraordinary. Together with legendary affineur Rolf Beeler, we turn outstanding cheese into creative dishes – while two excellent wines go head to head with every course. Joining us as our expert voice on the wine selection is special guest Master of Wine Ivan Barbic. Each cheese tells the same story in two ways: as the original, raw cheese and as a refined creation from the kitchen of Executive Chef Tobias Baruffol. The wine list stays secret until the evening itself, revealed course by course.

Highlights

  • Legendary affineur Rolf Beiler live on site
  • Special guest: Master of Wine Ivan Barbic
  • Aperitif and four-course menu by Executive Chef Tobias Baruffol
  • Blind tasting: two wines go head to head with every course
  • Wines from Italy, France, Spain, Austria, South Africa and Switzerland
  • Guest of the Evening award
  • Limited to 60 guests – an exclusive evening

Good to know

We dine at one long wooden table made up of tables of six (individual tables aren't possible). This is what creates the particular tavolata atmosphere our evenings are known for.
When you register, you can tell us who you're coming with, so we can seat you together at one table or at adjoining tables (for groups of more than six).
You can note any intolerances or allergies during registration in the field "Intolerances / allergies" – we pass this straight on to the kitchen.
And if you'd rather not drive home afterwards, your "home for one night" is right here at the Trafo Hotel, just a few steps from the event hall. With the booking code "TRAVOLATA" you can book a single room for CHF 100 or a double room for CHF 120.

"Master of Wine" is the most important and most prestigious wine qualification there is. Anyone entitled to call themselves a Master of Wine (officially abbreviated to MW) has reached the summit of wine expertise. Worldwide there are barely four hundred people who may claim the title. For comparison: there are around 900 Nobel laureates in total. So anyone who belongs to this select circle has earned it.
