Discover a World of Flavor

What if cheese could take you somewhere new?

Beyond the Wedge is an invitation to explore the world through cheese, food, and the stories that bring them to life. Founded by Laura Davenport, a Certified Cheese Professional, cheese educator, and passionate advocate for artisan cheese, Beyond the Wedge offers engaging educational experiences and culinary adventures designed to inspire curiosity, awaken the senses, and deepen your appreciation for the food you love.

From guided cheese tastings and creative pairing experiences to educational classes and food and wine travel, Beyond the Wedge takes you beyond simply tasting what's on your plate. It's about discovering why a cheese tastes the way it does, how flavors interact, what makes regional food traditions unique, and how the people and places behind our food shape the experiences we enjoy.

Whether you're new to the world of artisan cheese or already consider yourself a passionate food enthusiast, there's always something new to discover. You don't need to be an expert. You just need curiosity, an open mind, and an appetite for adventure.

Through approachable education, sensory exploration, and memorable culinary experiences, Laura makes learning about cheese engaging, interactive, and fun. You'll explore flavor, aroma, texture, and mouthfeel; experiment with pairings; discover the stories of artisan producers; and develop a new appreciation for the incredible diversity of food and culture.

Beyond the Wedge is for the curious eater, the adventurous traveler, the lifelong learner, and anyone who believes that some of life's best moments happen around a table.

Come curious. Taste boldly. Discover something unexpected.

You don't have to travel across the world to discover something extraordinary. Sometimes, it starts with a new cheese, an unexpected pairing, a story you've never heard, or a flavor you never knew you loved.
