With exclusive access to dozens of different local foods and beverages all in the picturesque Rymill Park, Murlawirrapurka CheeseFest 2021 is a festival for all. It’s an event for die hard foodies, craft beer fanatics, home fermenters, Australia’s top winos or anyone who simply wants to have a picnic and enjoy the live music with friends and family.
There are a wide variety of events on offer over the weekend including:
Over one hundred food and beverage stalls featuring SA and Australia’s best and brightest cheese, food and beverage producers with fresh, local produce in the picturesque Rymill Park, Murlawirrapurka.
A Friday night twilight session commencing at 4pm with live music from a fabulous selection of local musicians.
A demo stage headlined by MasterChef Judges Matt Preston and Gary Mehigan. The demo stage is free to attend, and included in your ticket price. Learn cooking tips and signature recipes from famous chefs from all over Australia.
You can enjoy a cold local beverage from any of the many bars: G&T Bar, Beer and Cider Garden, Prosecco Bar or Piano Bar.
Plus, you will receive a souvenir CheeseFest Wine Glass and eco-friendly carry bag on arrival (you may keep these and take them home).
