This annual cheese fest is back for 2020 on March 22 with a one-day event celebrating the world’s most delightful dairy product.
This year the festival returns to Werribee Park Mansion with lots of local cheese makers and producers on hand to make sure you stay full and happy. Attendees will be able to taste delicious artisan cheeses and complement meals with some craft cider, beer, spirits or wine.
All guests are encouraged to DIY their own picnic hampers throughout the day, selecting tasty items from all the local producers showcasing at the event. If you'd rather leave the catering to the experts you can also purchase cheesy delights like arancini, raclette, cannoli and pre-made cheese plates.
The lactose-laden line-up for 2020 includes Milk the Cow, Frencheese, That's Amore Cheese, Milawa Cheese Co (who are collaborating with Stomping Ground for beer and cheese pairings), Melbourne Aranicini (serving up five flavours of cheesey fried rice balls) and the Mac Project (they serve mac and cheese doughnuts) among many more.
Billy Van Creamy will be at the festival serving cheese ice cream (you heard us right) while drinks come courtesy of Prickly Moses, Coldstream Brewery, Curatif and Botanical Brew who has made the first naturally, significantly alcoholic kombucha (all kombucha is very slightly alcoholic due to the fermentation process).
There will be plenty of gouda entertainment too, with masterclasses, demonstrations and even a mozzarella stretching competition on the cards. Those feeling adventurous can even try a cheese-inspired ice cream.
The festival has also announced its music line-up for 2020 which includes performances from Laura Jean, Jess Ribeiro and Olympia with a DJ set by Bec Sandridge also on the cards.
Limited early-bird tickets are $33 and can be bought online.
