When Welcome to Bowen Hills was first announced, the new permanent food truck hub promised to drive a truckload of deliciousness into Brisbane's food scene — not only courtesy of its regular meals-on-wheels lineup, but via its special events as well. It's safe to say that the space has delivered over the past few years. Case in point: its returning rosé and cheese festival.
Pink vino lovers and gooey dairy fiends, prepare to head just north of the CBD from 12pm on Saturday, May 29 — postponed from its original April 10 date — for a whole day dedicated to quite the culinary pairing. You'll drink the tipple in question. You'll eat oh-so-much 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, prepare for another feast of cheesy goodness. Fingers crossed that flaming cheese wheels, raclette burgers and deep-fried camembert all make a return, ready to be washed down with pink-hued tipples.
This year, you'll need to buy a $15 ticket to attend, but that price includes your first glass. On the day, you can also book in for masterclasses, which'll cost $20 for the vino session, $17 for the cheese class and $30 for both.
