MOULD x Pinot Palooza Melbourne

Sessions

The Melbourne 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

Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, 1 Convention Centre Place, South Wharf VIC 3006. MCEC is reached by train, tram and bus.

For the car park, use the Clarendon Street entrance and arrive early, as 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.

Out of town, Yarra Valley Dairy is about an hour away, and Milawa in the King Valley makes a longer trip. See the MOULD overview for the other cities.
