Looking for a cosy and indulgent way to celebrate Valentine’s or Galentine’s Day this year? Why not skip the restaurant queues and enjoy an authentic Swiss fondue experience from the comfort of home!
Yorkshire-based online wine merchant Alpine Wines is offering the ultimate treat for cheese lovers—a traditional Swiss fondue and wine combination, perfect for sharing with a partner or friends on 14th February 2025.
The package includes a KaeseSwiss Fondue blend and a specially selected wine pack, serving 2-3 people. The wines on offer include classic Swiss white varieties such as Chasselas, Doral, Heida (Savagnin Blanc/Traminer), and Johannisberg (Sylvaner). For those who prefer red, light-bodied options like Mondeuse and the Dôle blend offer a perfect pairing.
Alpine Wines founder Joelle Nebbe commented: “This simple Swiss dish of melted cheese, white wine, and aromatics isn’t just a joy to eat. It is one of the most intimate experiences you can have. When friends or loved ones gather around a steaming bubbling pot of molten cheese, forks at the ready, conversation flows. In Switzerland, we traditionally drink crisp white Chasselas as it is dry and clean enough to cut through the cheese, or we enjoy it with black tea (no milk) or kirsch.”
The artisan KaeseSwiss Moitié-moitié Fondue is made using equal parts Gruyère and Vacherin cheese from the Fribourg region of Switzerland. Traditionally served with crusty rustic bread, cornichons, and charcuterie, it’s a decadent way to celebrate love and friendship.
Since lockdown, demand for baked cheese has soared, with Tesco reporting a 500% increase in sales in 2024. With fondue’s rising popularity in gastropubs, more people are looking to recreate the sharing experience at home.
The fondue blend and wine pack are available to order until 28th February 2025, with prices ranging from £20.64 to £39.00 (including delivery).
