MOULD – Australia’s biggest cheese festival is joining forces with Australia’s biggest Pinot Noir party PINOT PALOOZA to return to PERTH in 2024 for another epic double-header.

In brie-lliant news, over the weekend of Friday August 9th to Sunday August 11, the Centenary Pavilion will play host to the combined powers of these two legendary festivals in a mega celebration of fromage and pinot.

Mould will showcase over 50 cheese varieties that span hard to soft, textured to earthy, stinky to mild, with raw milk varieties and everything in between, with dairy delights to suit every palate.  

Meanwhile, Pinot Palooza will bring its funky flavours in this epic double bill that will make you wonder where this kind of joy has been all your life.

In between samples, festivalgoers can grab a tipple from the various bars, featuring a selection of Australian wine alongside vodka and gin from Tasmania's Hartshorn and crowd favourites Archie Rose distillery. Plus a range of beer, cocktails, and other delightful drinks will also be on offer.

Both event brands are presented by REVEL who are back to plate up over one million cheese samples and more examples of incredible Pinot Noir that you can poke a bottle opener at.
