What’s a better pairing than wine and cheese? Maybe when a wine festival meets a cheese festival – with free tastings, demos, bar snacks and more.

Boozy wine festival Pinot Palooza – running its 13th edition – is teaming up with cheese fest Mould for another year.

There’ll be more than 50 kinds of fromage on show (from producers around the country) over two days and three sessions of cheesy goodness. Milawa Cheese, That's Amore, Vannella Cheese, Coal River, Long Paddock Cheese, Tarago and more will be there – expect tastings, conversations and demonstrations, as well as dishes from a range of local cheesemongers.

Of course, it isn’t Pinot Palooza without the wine. There’ll be free tastings from Vinteloper, Marnong Estate, Lightfoot, Innocent Bystander, Yering Station, plus more producers and wineries.

Plus, a bar stocked with Bizzarro Aperitivo, Brick Lane beer, Starward Whisky and non-alcoholic drinks like Heaps and Tina will help you wash down your washed rind.

Tickets are $59 and include entry, a take-home cooler bag and wine glass, tote bag, and tastes of all cheese and wine available.

Sessions:

Fri 5pm–9pm
Sat 11am–3pm and 4pm–8pm
