Cheese lovers, get excited because MOULD: A Cheese Festival is returning to Perth for three days of cheese, drinks and food from 8-10 August this year. The dairy laden event comes to us from Revel, the team behind Pinot Palooza, and promises to be bigger, smellier and more 'matured' than ever in 2025.
Featuring crumbly cheddar, gooey camembert and bitey blue from over 27 of the best artisan producers around Australia, MOULD is much more than just a bunch of stalls selling the finest cheeses—it's a cheese experience. Attendees can meet with producers and sample dozens of cheeses in the name of garnering a greater appreciation and understanding of the art of cheesemaking. This year you can also sample exclusive cheeses created solely for the festival and unavailable anywhere else.
As well as tastings, MOULD also promises a full food menu of dishes from local cheesemongers, not to mention cheese-adjacent accoutrements like olives, crackers, conserves and smallgoods. And, naturally, where there is cheese there is wine, so there will also be a fully stocked bar for tasting a broad range of wines.
And not just any wine. The good folks at REVEL are combining their festival babies—MOULD and Pinot Palooza—for one helluva doubleheader. Both fests will be under the one roof at Claremont Showgrounds, so you can sip, sniff and slurp down all the pinot and juicy drops your heart desires in between the cheesy stuff. What a dream. If wine's not your jam, there'll also be gin, vodka, beer, cider and cocktails to get stuck into.
Considering MOULD usually sells out, you'll want to get in early to be sure of getting a ticket. Sessions are already on sale, with tickets at $59pp, which includes endless cheese tastings plus a complimentary cooler bag for whatever wedges you decide to buy—grab them here.
