What our customers say
Attended a private cheese/wine tasting evening at Starter Culture for a birthday celebration and it was fantastic! The selection of cheeses paired perfectly with the wines, and the knowledgeable staff made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for a unique and delicious birthday treat!
When my wife and I want to treat ourselves, this is our go-to spot. A nicely curated selection of wines and craft beers, some truly delicious cheeses, and incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff. Every time we go in there's something new and interesting to try.
We went along for the fizz tasting evening. 5 different wines paired with 5 different cheeses. A full explanation of each as you go. A really wonderful way to spend an evening. We'll be back!
