Sessions
The Adelaide stop ran over a Friday, Saturday and Sunday: an evening session on Friday from 5 to 9pm, two on Saturday (11am to 3pm and 4 to 8pm) and a Sunday session from 11am to 3pm. Each session is capped and most sell out in advance, so book early; door sales happen only if tickets remain.
What Your Ticket Covers
One $59 ticket (plus booking fee) covers entry and every cheese and Pinot Noir tasting, from more than 100 Australian cheeses and wines, plus a cooler bag, a stemless glass, a wine tote and, in 2026, a $25 wine credit. Other bars sell wine, beer, cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks, and independent producers sell salami, honey, crackers and preserves. Drop your purchases at the cheese check to keep them cold.
Getting There
The Queens Theatre, Playhouse Lane, Adelaide SA 5000. Many buses stop nearby, including the free city loop bus, and so does the tram.
K Park car park, at 20 Playhouse Lane, is directly opposite the theatre; spaces are limited.
Good to Know
Children under 18 are free with an adult, though sessions are loud and busy. The event is cashless (Visa, Mastercard, EFTPOS and Amex). Tickets are not refundable but move to new dates if a session is postponed; resell only through Humanitix. Bars close 15 minutes before the end of each session.
Adelaide also holds CheeseFest each October, and the Barossa Valley Cheese Company is an easy day trip. See the MOULD overview for the other cities.
