The Fromage a Trois cheese festival is returning to Melbourne next month, and if you’re imagining a big, fat orgy of cheese experimentation, then you would be absolutely correct.

The festival will see a gathering of producers and providores, including That’s Amore, Milk the Cow, Harper & Blohm, Boatshed Cheese, Milawa Cheese Co, and more, giving you a chance to find out more about the cheese you love, or swap up your longtime cheese plate partner for a gooey new favourite.

Bring a blanket and create your own picnic hamper from the cheeses on offer, or try one of the many cheesy dishes available, from mac ‘n’ cheese doughnuts to arancini, pizzas, gnocchi and cannoli. There will also be wine, beer, cider and  kombucha so you can create your own inspired pairings.

Beyond gorging, you’ll also be able to attend a cheese masterclass or demonstration, including mozzarella stretching, with live music, roving entertainment and lawn games held throughout the day.

Fromage a Trois will be held on Sunday, March, 22 from 11am – 6pm at Werribee Park in Werribee. Tickets are priced at $33 which includes entry, entertainment, samples, and a festival glass to keep. Entry is free for children 14 years and under when entering with a full paying adult.  To book, head to melbournefoodandwine.com.au.
