Celebrate Bastille Day in style with Antonelli’s Cheese at one of Austin’s most historic landmarks—the French Legation! Join us for a festive outdoor cheese tasting as we transport your palate to the French countryside with a curated selection of French cheeses, paired perfectly with accompaniments and stories that bring each bite to life. Whether you’re a seasoned fromage fanatic or new to French cheese, this experience is designed to delight, educate, and celebrate the joy of gathering.

Tableside seating will be provided, but feel free to bring your ideal picnic spread. Hats and fans encouraged. Antonelli's cheesemongers will guide everyone through the tasting.  While water will be provided, feel free to Bring Your Own Beverage (and drinkware) to enjoy alongside the French cheese collection.

Tickets are $70 through Antonelli's Cheese:
