- **Event Description**: One of the most delicious festivals - Wine & Cheese Fest - will return to The Timber Yard in Port Melbourne on Saturday 14th of March, giving everyone the chance to taste and buy the best wines, cheeses and artisan produce! Along with meeting the producers, there’s unlimited tastings, masterclasses, food stands, and a full day of live entertainment that everyone can enjoy. With over 70 exhibitors, the 13th edition of the Wine & Cheese Fest will introduce visitors to the very best from around Victoria and far beyond. Inside the Timber Yard guests will find the main exhibitor hall, while outside more delectable produce and food stalls surround plenty of seating. The long bar is the place to buy a glass of wine and relax in the sunshine between tastings and shopping, while the undercover outside area plays host to the DJ, dancing, bar tables and the Grape Stomp. Stretchy waistbands are recommended with the unlimited free tastings as well as an array of delicious eateries to choose from. Of course, it will be very hard for everyone to not indulge and support Aussie businesses by filling their bag with of produce to take home! Attendees can also make the most of learning from the producers and wine makers with the free engaging masterclasses that can turn wine and cheese lovers into connoisseurs. The full program will be announced closer to the event, but the classes will include wine making talks, wine & cheese pairing and cheese making demonstrations. A highlight every year is the Wine & Cheese Fest Grape Stomp Competition! Held between 3pm and 4pm it is fun, lively and full of laughter. Led by event MC Ben Sorenson, participants stomp as hard and fast as possible in the barrels to see who can juice the most. And for those not actually stomping, it is a great watch! All day entertainment will include live music, DJs and roving artists, the perfect accompaniment to a glass of wine and delicious cheese dish. There are two mouthwatering sessions available, lunchtime until mid-afternoon and mid-afternoon until evening. General Admission includes free tastings, masterclasses, wine glass, tote bag and live music. Or guests can opt for the Total Wine Indulgence, which additionally includes three glasses of wine to enjoy at the Wine & Cheese Fest bar and a bottle of boutique wine (RRP $30) to take home. The VIP experience includes the free tastings, masterclasses and tote bag, as well all-day access, a Riedel Overtures wine glass, VIP masterclass at 2pm ‘Tasting Museum Wines’ and a VIP room upstairs overlooking the whole festival to relax. Wine & Cheese Fest 2026 is the ideal event for everyone from wine & cheese aficionados to those who simply love food and drink!
