That's Amore Cheese Virtual Aperitivo

Overview

Melbourne's current lockdown has got lots of us seeking comfort in life's simple pleasures. Mountains of chocolate. Takeaway pizza. Maybe a healthy dose of gin. Well, how do you feel about upping that mood with artisan cheese — plus some wine to wash it down with?

From 5pm on Friday, October 2, That's Amore Cheese is indulging Melburnians' love of vino and cheese in two ways. Firstly, in what it's calling a virtual aperitivo session, you can Zoom in for a tour of Mornington Peninsula vineyards. Also, if you want to do more than just watch, you can order an aperitivo pack — filled with wine and cheese, obviously — to eat and drink your way through at the same time.

The Zoom part of proceedings is free — so virtually wandering around Elgee Park and Baillieu Vineyard won't cost you a thing — but you do need to register online. As for the pack, it costs $110 and includes multiple cheeses, antipasto, and both Baillieu rosé and Elgee Park pinot noir. You'll need to order by Wednesday, September 30 in order for it to be delivered in time. If you live within 15 kilometres of Thomastown, bringing it to your door won't cost any extra; however, for the rest of Melbourne (within 25 kilometres of Thomastown), you'll pay an additional $10.

That's Amore Cheese's virtual aperitivo session takes place from 5pm on Friday, October 2, with aperitivo packs available to order until Wednesday, September 30.
