In Dubai, the art of pairing wine and cheese is a cherished tradition, offering an evening of refined indulgence.
While expertise comes in handy when you know your way around your cheese selection and which bottle of wine to match it with, as well as the complimentary delicacies of ingredients that decorate the scene and turn it into a magical escapade of flavors - you may as well be completely not in-the-know-how and have the absolute curiosity to discover that part of the culinary world.
Thus we invite you to dig into this carefully picked list as we unveil the top destinations in the city for an unforgettable wine and cheese night, where every sip and bite promises an exquisite experience.
