Wonderful Wine ‘n Cheese Gift Basket

I’ve been working at The Gift Designers in some capacity for 17 years! My experience with cheese options was quite bland and TGD helped to grow and mature me. My world was blown open with cheese toppers, fresh deli cheese options, and how incredibly powerful pairings could be. Even my dad has grown his repertoire to appreciate the various “circle cheese” (Brie) creations I’ve perfected over the years. It’s easy to recommend gourmet basket designs and when we do features on Designer’s Choice the Savoury themed, Charcuterie baskets are often recommended.

One of our regular go to partners for their premium cheese selection is the Springbank Cheese Co. With over 60 years in the business, Springbank Cheese Co. is a Calgary staple for cheese enthusiasts. They offer more than 400 types of imported and Canadian cheeses. From creamy Brie to sharp Cheddar, and even vegan options, their diverse inventory ensures that every palate is satisfied. In addition to cheese, they carry a variety of gourmet accompaniments such as charcuterie, olives, artisan crackers, and gluten-free options. Their knowledgeable staff can provide spot-on advice tailored to your preferences and budget.

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, showing appreciation, looking to impress a client, or building a custom gift for a loved one, you can’t go wrong with a flight of delicious cheeses. You’ll notice that a number of our gift designs feature a compote or cheese topper. These items are either sweet, think Honeyberry Raspberry & Peach Raspberry Grand Marnier Jam, or savoury styles like Red Pepper Chili Jelly. These toppers can be added directly onto the cheese, as I often do with baked Brie, or served as a side condiment to compliment your cheese and cracker selection.

 Here is a glimpse of a few of our savoury cheese lover designs:

Cheese Please Gift Box – This design starts you off with the basics of Brie, a compote/topper, a cracker selection, and some gourmet chocolates.

 

Wine 'n Cheese Gift Basket -   This design takes your cheese experience up a notch! Now you’re enjoying wine with your cheese. Also featuring Crackers, Bruschetta, a selection of chocolates, a topper, and a fresh deli cheese. 

Wonderful Wine ‘n Cheese Gift BasketUpgrading to the next size up in the Wine ‘n Cheese theme will add an additional Fresh Deli Cheese, breadsticks, smoked salmon, Fruit ‘n Nut mix, as well as coffee, and a gourmet dip to the previously described design. 

As always, we can customize a gift to include the perfect cheese selection! If you’d prefer a different beverage pairing, more cheese variety, or something with fresh fruit we can accommodate.

By supporting these local businesses, you're not only giving a thoughtful gift but also contributing to the Calgary community.  Springbank Cheese Co. and The Gift Designers provide exceptional products and services that make gift-giving a delightful experience.
