The Perfect Board: Cheese & Charcuterie 101 is an interactive culinary experience designed for anyone who has admired a stunning cheese board and wondered how it all comes together. Hosted by Flight Cheese Shop, this hands-on workshop demystifies the process, showing guests how to build a well-balanced, visually striking board using high-quality cheeses and thoughtfully selected accompaniments.
Participants are guided step by step through the essentials of board building, beginning with how to choose cheeses that complement one another and how to balance flavours and textures—sweet, salty, creamy, and crunchy. From there, guests learn professional presentation techniques, including slicing and folding cured meats, arranging cheeses, and creating eye-catching layouts that feel effortless yet elevated.
Each guest receives their own board and full set of ingredients, allowing them to assemble their creation throughout the session while tasting along the way. Practical tips are shared throughout, including how to plan quantities for different-sized gatherings and how to create memorable pairings that elevate any occasion.
Designed with beginners in mind, this workshop is welcoming, casual, and social, focused on building confidence, encouraging creativity, and enjoying good food in good company. By the end of the experience, guests leave with a finished cheese and charcuterie board to take home, along with the knowledge to recreate it for future gatherings.
Part food styling, part tasting experience, and entirely delicious, The Perfect Board offers a fun and approachable way to deepen your appreciation for cheese, hosting, and the joy of sharing food.
