HC-One’s Blakelands Lodge Care Home in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire, marked National Cheese and Wine Day with a delightful celebration that brought residents and their families together for an afternoon of flavourful indulgence.
National Cheese and Wine Day, celebrated every year on July 25, celebrates the timeless tradition of pairing bold, flavourful wines with rich, creamy cheeses – a combination that has delighted taste buds for centuries. The occasion was embraced with enthusiasm as families joined their loved ones to enjoy this classic duo alongside delicious desserts.
The event featured live music from the talented Bob Jack, whose melodies created a joyful and relaxed atmosphere. Guests enjoyed sampling a variety of cheeses perfectly matched with carefully selected wines, which created moments of celebration.
