The perfect pairing is back. MOULD x PINOT PALOOZA returns in 2026.

Following the success of last year’s cheese-filled festival and pinot-paired party, the two events are back together once again, bringing friends, fromage and fermentation under one roof for one of Australia’s biggest food and wine celebrations. In Brisbane, everyone’s favourite blend will run from Friday 22nd May to Sunday 24th May at the The John Reid Pavilion at the RNA Showgrounds, with plenty of room to explore and taste at your own pace.

The collaboration brings together two established events - MOULD and PINOT PALOOZA into one shared experience that’s relaxed and designed for discovery. It’s the best of both, side by side.

MOULD will showcase 50+ varieties of Australian artisan cheese, drawing producers from around the country and spanning everything from fresh and delicate to bold, aged favourites. Expect plenty to taste, plenty to talk about, and plenty to take home.

PINOT PALOOZA brings together 50+ expressions of Pinot Noir from Australia, New Zealand and beyond, celebrating the diversity of the grape across regions and styles, poured by the winemakers and producers behind the bottles.

Beyond the tastings, there’s lots more to explore. Bars across the event will be pouring a curated selection of wine alongside spirits, beer and cocktails, while food producers round out the experience with ready-to-eat bites, pantry staples and grazing essentials - perfect for fuelling the day or upgrading your next cheese board.

Presented by REVEL, the 2026 program is a full-spectrum celebration of cheese and pinot, with over one million samples poured, plated and ready to enjoy.

Every ticket comes with a $25 Vinomofo wine credit. Yep. That’s a thing.

Thanks to our major sponsor Vinomofo, you’ll pocket $25 to spend on your first order of seriously good wine, we’re talking the top 5% of wines. Crowd pleasers, dinner party heroes, “I’m not sharing this” bottles… you get the idea.

Consider it a little pre or post-festival treat from us (and Vinomofo) to you.

Tickets are $59 + booking fee.

Ticket includes; festival entry, unlimited cheese and pinot tastings, a complimentary cooler bag for cheese purchases, a wine glass for tastings, a custom wine tote and a $25 Vinomofo wine credit. Session numbers are limited to keep things flowing comfortably.
