Wine, Fire & Cheese is an immersive, hands-on experience where you’ll create your own artisan cheeses, craft native-infused butter, and enjoy a fireside wine tasting. Set in the atmospheric surrounds of Woodburn Homestead, this unique event is hosted by the culinary team at Fleurieu Food and Wine—bringing together storytelling, native ingredients, and artisan technique for an unforgettable afternoon.
What You'll Experience
Your experience begins with a warm welcome and a drink from the open bar, followed by a brief introduction to Woodburn Homestead and what you’ll be creating throughout the session.
Then it’s time to get hands-on.
You’ll make:
Fresh mozzarella – from milk to hand-stretched cheese
Traditional halloumi – shaped and ready for brining at home
Marinated feta – using pre-supplied feta, olive oil, and native herbs
Cold-smoked cheddar – infused with the aroma of native wood
Native herb butter – churned and blended for a uniquely Australian flavour
While your creations rest, enjoy a relaxed wine tasting by the fire. Wines will be served informally, with flavour notes and pairing suggestions shared throughout. You’re welcome to purchase additional wine during the afternoon.
To end the day, unwind around the fire with optional extras, music, and good company. For those with a sweet tooth, pre-order a gourmet s’mores pack with Anzac biscuits, native chocolate and a splash of tawny port.
