Gorgeous Wine and Cheese Parties...

The Party Dress-Lifestyle and Entertaining Blog

Wine and cheese parties are the simplest way to entertain friends. They allow you to showcase all of the special entertaining skills and tools you have picked up over the years.

You cannot really go wrong when choosing the right cheeses, charcuterie, fruits, veggies, breads, crackers, nuts and wines…anything goes really and that is why wine and cheese parties are so easy to prepare for.

But with a little extra care and imagination, you can impress your guests and turn a simple spread into a splendid work of art. It is all about how you style your spread and how you "randomly" lay all of these precious ingredients out on your table or boards.

Here are 20 of the most beautiful wine and cheese spreads I have seen in a long time…use them for inspiration…they range from very simple two/three ingredient boards to elaborate and divine spreads…

Which one is your favorite??

Beautiful. Especially loved the white and blue marble serving board. How do you recommend serving the cheese, nuts, fruits on the board to the guests, especially if sitting comfortably on couches around a low middle table, with nonchalance required for an easygoing wine and cheese party?

1. Always have very little appetizer plates ready on your coffee table.
2. Invest in a set of plexiglass nesting tables or other easily portable side tables and place them very strategically around couches if the main coffee table is far away.
3. Prepare little bowls/mini boards filled with nuts, cheese, crackers etc and disperse them around the room ("serpme" wine and cheese).
4. Sit close to the main board and casually serve guests things to try and nibble on without ever getting out of your seat.
5. Make sure that you don't display too much cleavage everytime you bend to serve, pass things to guests...dress accordingly...
