Some pairings simply make sense, and few combinations are as timeless as great wine and carefully selected cheese.
At Klein Alto, guests are invited to discover a refreshed take on this classic experience with a Cheese & Wine Pairing designed to showcase the estate’s iconic red wines in a whole new way.
Priced at R175 per person, the tasting features four distinctive red wines, each thoughtfully paired with a complementary cheese chosen to highlight the wine’s character and flavour profile. Adding an extra layer of intrigue, every cheese in the pairing has been cold smoked, bringing subtle depth and complexity to the experience.
- The journey begins with Alto Rouge paired with Edam, a combination that balances fruit-forward notes with creamy, mellow flavours. Shiraz finds its match in pepper cheddar, where spice meets spice in a pairing full of personality. Cabernet Sauvignon is served alongside mature cheddar, allowing the wine’s structure and depth to shine, while the Estate Blend is paired with traditional Boerenkaas for a rich and satisfying finale.
More than just a tasting, the experience offers guests an opportunity to explore how flavour, texture, and aroma interact in every bite and sip. Whether visitors are seasoned wine enthusiasts or simply looking for a relaxed afternoon in the Winelands, the pairing delivers plenty to enjoy and discover.
For those searching for a tasting experience that goes beyond the expected, Klein Alto’s Cheese & Wine Pairing offers a delicious reminder that sometimes the simplest combinations are still the most rewarding. Bookings are recommended via Alto.co.za.
