A Day of Rose and Cheese
Celebrate pink vino and gooey dairy at Welcome to Bowen Hills' returning rosé and cheese festival.
Overview
A lot can happen in five years — in the world in general, in Brisbane as well, and at the patch of Brissie's inner city known as Welcome to Bowen Hills in particular. The permanent food truck hub opened back in 2017, flirted with a name change in 2021 and has returned to its old moniker now. It's also bringing back an old favourite from its events lineup: A Day of Rosé and Cheese.
Sometimes, this excuse to drink pink and eat oh-so-much cheese has been called a party. Sometimes, it's been dubbed a festival. Both still fit, because a rosé and cheese event by any other name does indeed still taste (and smell) as sweet.
Pink vino lovers and gooey dairy fiends, prepare to head just north of the CBD from 12pm on Saturday, March 12 for a whole day dedicated to quite the culinary pairing. You'll drink the tipple in question. You'll eat cheese. It's simple, really.
The wine list will feature drops from Australia, New Zealand, France and Italy, so you won't go thirsty — and sparkling rosé and frosé will both be on offer.
Food-wise, a feast of cheesy goodness is on the cards, starting with cheese platters paired with charcuterie, meats and seafood. There'll also be Moreton Bay bug mac 'n' cheese, reubens, steak with blue cheese pepper sauce, oysters with cheese and more, all ready to be washed down with pink-hued tipples.
This year, entry is free but you can register your attendance in advance — and you'll pay as you eat and drink.
