Hard or soft, blue or white, fresh or aged, Australians love cheese. On platters, on pasta, between slices of bread or slathered on plywood, we just can’t get enough.

We’re tapping into that love with Mould: A Cheese Festival, a celebration of Australian cheese in partnership with Nick Haddow from Bruny Island Cheese Co. & Bruny Island Beer Co.

The best cheesemakers from around the country will showcase their produce at North Melbourne’s Meat Market on September 2nd, offering free tastings, demonstrations and relaxed, super fun masterclasses.

As amazing as cheese is, you need balance in your diet. So we’ve also got Maker & Monger, Harper & Blohm Cheese Shop and plenty more cheese-related but not cheese-only food vendors bringing more of the good stuff.

It wouldn’t be a Bottle Shop Concepts event without an incredible drinks offering, so of course there’ll be wines, whisky, spirits, beers, cider and more. And best part is you get a glass of wine with your ticket price. Plus all the cheese tastings (no tokens!!). Oh, and an actual Plumm glass to keep forever.
