MOULD X PINOT PALOOZA: PERTH 2023

Praise Cheeses: MOULD – Australia’s biggest cheese festival - and PINOT PALOOZA - Australia’s biggest Pinot Noir Festival - are coming to PERTH!

Over the weekend of Friday August 25th to Sunday August 27, the Centenary Pavilion will play host to the combined powers of both festivals in a celebration of all things cheese, and Pinot Noir. 

Showcasing over 50 varieties of the very best in Australian artisan cheese from around the country, there’s a fromage to suit every palate at all Mould celebrations.This free-wheeling event is all about championing the best Australian-made cheese, and the community that surrounds it, since 2017.

Pinot Palooza is celebrating its 11th year and has visited over 14 cities and 6 countries since its inception and not been in Perth since 2019. The mission here is simple; celebrate the diversity of Pinot Noir, and all its glory, and have a heck of a lot of fun doing it. Expect to see over 50 examples from both Australia, New Zealand and beyond.

Both event brands are presented by REVEL who, after a 2.5 year hiatus due to you know what, are back having offering up over one-million cheese samples of cheese, and more Pinot Noir that you can poke a burgundy bottle at last year. 

Festival founder Dan Sims says “Finally, after a long hiatus, we're making it back to Perth and bringing not just one, but two of our favourite festival brands for one big cheesy pinot party. Put simply, we just can’t wheyt to get over there”

Tickets are $49 +Booking Fee and include festival entry, ALL cheese and pinot tastings (NO TOKENS here!), Mould Cheese Collective Cooler Bag (for your cheese!), stemless REVEL wine glass and more.

TICKETING FAQ's

Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?

Yes please. As alcohol is served at the event, we will check IDs where necessary. Please bring a valid form of identification with you on the day just to be sure (Passport or driving license). 

Are children permitted at the event?

This is always a tough one. Whilst the answer is a non discriminatory ‘yes’, our events are often very busy, loud and a little hectic so not an ideal place for little people. We suggest getting a baby sitter and having the day off. We’ll bring the wine! But if they are keen to get stuck into some cheese, they are in good company.
But if you want to bring them along, of course, Kids are free however they must be accompanied by and adult at all times. 

Will tickets be available on the door?

Only if there are any available. But more often than not, ‘no’ as the events sell out prior. We cap numbers to ensure everyone has a great time and it’s not too crazy as we want you coming back. We strongly suggest buying tickets prior to ensure you don’t miss out.

Is there a refund policy?

Refunds are not available for this event. If we have to cancel due to Covid or any other reasons, we'll of course refund. 

I haven’t received my ticket? What do I do?

An automated email is sent upon purchasing tickets. If you don’t receive it, it could be for a couple of reasons. Firstly, check the spam folder as sometimes they get stuck there. Other times, when in a rush to purchase (!), some accidentally enter their email address incorrectly. If that’s the case, drop us an email and we’ll search and resend. But all good, you’ll be in our system.

Do I need to print the tickets?

Nope! You can show your ticket on your phone.

Are dogs allowed? 

Nope sorry! We love our furry friends but it is best to leave them at home. 

Tasting, not drinking

Creating a safe, welcoming and non-intimidating event environment is what we’re all about so any inappropriate behaviour, of an intoxicated nature or not, that is dangerous to yourself and or others, is just not acceptable.

We have a strict ‘no tolerance’ policy so if we witness any of the above, we reserve the right to take appropriate action and have you removed from the venue.

I’ve got a couple of other random questions, what should I do?

Easy. Drop us an email at hello@mouldcheesefestival.com and we’ll get right back to you.
