Join in for a delightful evening at The Libraries Lounge, a beautifully renovated heritage space on the first floor of The Hotel Britomart. Immerse yourself in the world of New Zealand's finest cheeses as you get to know the passionate cheesemakers, Jill and Chris Whalley of Mount Eliza Cheese.
Since 2007, Chris and Jill have been crafting exquisite raw milk cheeses at their boutique dairy factory in Katikati. Drawing inspiration from age-old recipes and methods, they have revitalized raw milk cheesemaking in New Zealand, resulting in cheeses that boast a rich and nuanced flavor profile.
Buttery blue, earthy cheddar, and smooth red Leicester will be tasted at this casual evening created for lovers of great cheese, wine, art and design. Join Jill and Chris for an informal discussion while savoring a three-course cheese experience meticulously curated by our executive chef, Andrew Lautenbach. Complementing this delightful journey are expertly matched wines chosen by The Libraries sommelier, Tony Suarez. It's an event not to be missed!
