Cider vs Cheese: The Perfect Corporate Event in Bristol

July 1, 2025

Looking for a Unique Corporate Event in Bristol? Think Cider vs Cheese

Corporate event planning doesn’t have to be a bore. If you're looking to organise a memorable team social, client entertainment evening, or festive get-together in Bristol, why not try a cider vs cheese tasting experience? It’s fun, relaxed, and—most importantly—delicious.

At The Cider Box, we specialise in hosting unique, engaging corporate cider tasting events right in the heart of Bristol, complete with expertly-paired local cheeses from the West Country.

Why Cider & Cheese Tasting is a Winning Combo

Let’s be honest—corporate events are only as good as the refreshments. Cider and cheese make a natural partnership: crisp, juicy apple tannins meet the rich, creamy notes of Somerset’s best dairy produce. We have a saying in the Westcountry; what grows together, goes together, and we’re blessed with some mouth watering ciders, and some delicious cheeses that we can’t wait to share with you.

Here’s what makes it perfect for team events:

🍏 Interactive & Fun – Our expert hosts lead a tasting journey that’s as entertaining as it is educational.
🧀 Locally Sourced – We work with artisan cheesemakers and traditional cideries from across the South West, exploring the terroir & provenance of these fine things.
🥂 Sociable Atmosphere – Perfect for breaking the ice, celebrating achievements, or just winding down.
🌍 Central Bristol Location – Easily accessible venue with an authentic ciderhouse vibe, less than 10 min walk from Bristol Temple Meads, or we can come to you

What’s Included in a Corporate Cider Tasting?
