About Wine & Cheese Fest
Wine & Cheese Fest was born in Melbourne in 2014 with the aim of promoting boutique and artisan producers in a setting more fun than the local Farmers Markets and less formal than the expensive and up-market wine tasting events.The idea came from a passion to bring attention to, promote, and gather the best-known local producers alongside the remotest and smallest of wine and cheese makers under one roof for all to enjoy. The philosophy of ‘keeping it local’ has been part of the Wine & Cheese Fest story from the very beginning.The success of the sell-out inaugural event made the festival what it is today – a premier event that is marked in every foodie and wine lover’s calendar.The festival is celebrating its 13th and 14th events in 2026 – which includes the first W&CF event in Sydney – and will see thousands gather to delight in the delicious food and wine on offer, in addition to free Masterclasses run by experts in the industry.
