Cheese with Cameron & Faira

Known for the pun-filled cheese presentations that have become a beloved highlight of dinner service, Cameron Smith invites guests to go beyond the jokes and into the rich, fascinating world of artisan cheese. In this guided tasting, Cameron shares the depth of knowledge that curious guests often ask for—exploring the origins, traditions, and craftsmanship behind a thoughtfully selected range of cheeses. Along the way, he’ll discuss milk types, aging techniques, regional styles, and how factors like terroir and time shape flavor, texture, and aroma. Equal parts educational and entertaining, the experience offers a deeper appreciation for the artistry behind one of the culinary world’s most beloved foods.
