Ultimate Indulgence at the Cheese and Wine Room

by Lauren on May 22nd, 2008

I have two big weaknesses: wine and cheese. So I was thrilled to find Sydney has a wonderful little spot designed to satisfyCheese and wine my two great loves. That hallowed place is the GPO Cheese and Wine Room.

Known as the “Temple of Cheese,” it’s recently been given a stylish new facelift. Intimate lighting sets a romantic mood, while the black marble floor and minimalist décor add an air of sophistication.

Unlike most nightspots, you don’t have to yell and scream over thumping music. The soft jazz sounds are the ideal backdrop for conversations with friends or that special someone.

But of course, the biggest drawcards are the wines and cheeses. In fact, there are more than 270 wines and 100 cheeses to choose from. If all that sounds a little daunting, why not choose one of the specials? The White Cheese and Wine Flight and ever popular cheese board pair a selection of cheeses with expertly matches wines.

There’s also an awesome selection of breads, olives, cured meats, pates, and stacks more. Yummo. If you’re looking for a break from the night club scene, this just might be it.
