In brie-lliant news, after a sell out crowd in November, we thought we should do it all again with both festivals under one roof over the weekend of Friday May 23 to Sunday May 25, The John Reid Pavilion at the RNA Showgrounds will play host to the combined powers of these two legendary festivals in a mega celebration of fromage and pinot.

Mould will showcase over 50 varieties of the very best in Australian artisan cheese from around the country, there’s a fromage to suit every palate at all Mould celebrations.This free-wheeling event is all about championing the best Australian-made cheese, and the community that surrounds it. Meanwhile, Pinot Palooza is celebrating its 13th year. The mission here is simple; celebrate the diversity of Pinot Noir, and all its glory, and have a heck of a lot of fun doing it. Expect to see over 50 examples from Australia and beyond.

In between samples, festivalgoers can grab a tipple from the various bars, featuring a selection of wine alongside spirits from crowd favourites Archie Rose Distillery and many more. Plus a range of beer, cocktails, and other delightful drinks will also be on offer. But WHEYT, it's NOT JUST CHEESE….This year will also see an expanded roster of independent producers from the all-important world of cheese-adjacent accoutrements, giving festival-goers a direct line to load up on some of the finest salami, honey, crackers, pastes and small-goods for their next indulgent at-home cheese session.
