Wine and Cheese Party Ideas on a Budget

Wine and Cheese Party Ideas on a Budget

When preparing for your party, consider cheese boards an art form that involves much more than throwing some cheeses and crackers on a plate and serving it to guests. Putting together your first cheese & charcuterie board shouldn’t feel daunting. Follow a few basic pairing guidelines when selecting your ingredients, and don’t hesitate to try something new! We have Wine and Cheese Party Ideas to match your budget and tips and recipes that you can prepare ahead, not only saving your dollars but saving your time!

The more you know!

What is in a charcuterie board? Harcuterie (shahr-cute-uh-ree) is a French word for smoked, dry-cured or cooked meats. Charcuterie itself describes an array of preserved and prepared meat dishes, such as cured sausages, hams, bacon, and more. These aged meats add the perfect addition to a Wine and Cheese Party.
