CheeseFest 2026 - Adelaide's Cheese, Food & Wine Festival

About

CheeseFest is Australia’s biggest and most delicious celebration of all things cheese. Since 2005, we've been bringing the best of South Australia’s artisan cheesemakers, food producers, winemakers, distillers, and brewers together for a weekend of cheese tasting, cooking demonstrations and live music in the stunning parks of the Adelaide CBD.

Expect more cheese than you can handle (yes that's a challenge*), alongside live entertainment, cooking demonstrations, cheese themed experiences, and even more cheese as we usher in Spring in the beautiful Rundle Park in a family friendly festival environment.

*18 tonnes of cheese were devoured in 2025…
