Perfect Picnic Pairings

Aug 13, 2025

Summer is made for long lazy afternoon picnics.

We’ve teamed up with our friends and cheesemongers, Rennet & Rind in Stamford, to create three delicious wine & cheese pairings for your alfresco summer picnics.

Enjoy our offer prices on the wines and an exclusive discount code for their award-winning cheeses throughout August.

Waterkloof Circumstance Chenin Blanc 2024, South Africa
Cheese pairing: Yarlington

The silky texture and rich baked fruit flavours in this off-dry Chenin Blanc is one of our all time favourite pairings with Yarlington. This soft raw cow’s cheese is washed in Yarlington Mill cider and has a devilishly moreish crème-fraîche centre!

Jacques Lurton Bla Bla Merlot 2020, France
Cheese pairing: The Duke

The velvety mouthful of ripe red fruits such as cherries and raspberries takes on Philip Amps’ personal favourite blue cheese! This cow’s cheese is best served straight from the fridge, as the cool temperature amplifies its creamy and salty tang notes.

Wine offer price: £9.99 | Save £2 | £11.99

Chapoutier Marius Vermentino 2024, France
Cheese pairing: Yoredale Wensleydale

This Southern French white’s vibrant citrus freshness pairs well with this crumbly cow’s cheese which is light, refreshing and gently lemony. Both complement pork pies and salads too because of their clean bite.
