Wine and Cheese Evening – Tagaytay
Update (July 2007): the Wine and Cheese Evenings have been discontinued
The Taal Vista Hotel presents the Tagaytay Wine and Cheese Evening on every last friday of the month. The Taal Vista’s Foyer-Cafe offers the ideal setting for this once a month dine and wine event. The international wines and cheeses fit right in with the cafe’s high ceiling, assorted furniture, floor to ceiling windows and decorative objects.
In addition, the hotel’s food and beverage staff goes to great lengths to cater to your needs. Inviting food displays, attentive service and a full range of food provide a very pleasant dining experience. The entrance fee is only 495php per person. The fee covers all the food and wines. If you enjoy a good wine with a tasty cheese, Taal Vista’s offering is definitely a bargain deal. Every month a different wine importer showcases his wines. Normally the wine importer presents a minimum of three white and three red wines.
There are about ten kinds of cheese. Dutch Edammer, Danish Blue, Swiss Cheddar, New Zealand goat-cheese and many other cheeses are available for tasting.
To make it a complete meal the buffet offers several kinds of bread (French Baguette, Pasteries, Rye Bread), several vegetables and several meats (Italian ham, salami). As icing on the cake, there are also desert items. At the end of the evening there is a raffle-draw. You can win a bottle of wine and an romantic one-night stay at the Taal Vista Hotel. Let there be no doubts: if I’m in Tagaytay the last friday of the month I go to the Wine and Cheese evening.
