Wine Collaboration
With
After a meeting in a very hot, sunny, yard in the month of June, Caroline and Mark agreed that Modbury Farm Shop would be the perfect location for cheese and wine pairings .
From our shared love of the Bride Valley and all that Dorset provides, we decided an event, based on that mutual love, would be fitting. From that energy, 'Alfresco in the Yard' was born! Keep an eye out online and in the shop, for more events, offers and collaborations coming through the year.
Mark and Caroline are passionate and experienced wine folk based in Dorset, who love finding exceptional, interesting and great value wines and then delivering them to you…a curious, committed wine lover. Join us on our adventure in wine, we’d love for you to come along. So find a glass, pull up a chair and let’s get tasting. Think of them as the sommelier in your pocket!
Ismay Dorset Brie – cows milk
"We have chosen Furleigh Estate’s Bacchus Dry to pair with the Ismay Dorset Brie. The Ismay gives a textured, creamy background which complements the gooseberry and elderflower flavour in the Bacchus Dry.”
Shakespeare Brie – sheep milk
“We recommend the Badassiere Viognier from the Languedoc in France to partner the Shakespeare Brie. The ripe peach & apricot of the Viognier brings the salty sharpness of the Brie to life.”
Open Air Dairy Cheddar
“This beautiful, creamy, full flavoured cheese works perfectly with a plummy, black peppered notes of this native red wine variety from Austria, Funkstille Zweigelt.”

Ismay Dorset Brie – cows milk
“We also think that the Furleigh Estate Dorset Idyll complements the Ismay with is honeyed, citrus flavours lapping over the fresh creamy cheese.”
Heidi’s Goats Cheese
“The Funkstille Gruner Veltliner, a native white wine grape variety from Austria, is a great match for the Heidi’s goat cheese. The broad, ripe, slightly honeyed flavours of the GV balances the creamy goatiness of the cheese.”
Blue Vinney
“The Baccolo Rosso, an appassimento made Corvina & Merlot from the Veneto district of Italy, is a super combination with Blue Vinney. The super ripe & rich red cherry flavours of the wine complement the strong salty flavours of the blue cheese.”
