Overview

If you love a good stinky cheese, then South Melbourne Market's A Fromage Affair best be on your hit list for things to do this October. From Wednesday, October 18–Saturday, October 28, cheese lovers can embark on their own self-guided food tour of the market, tasting their way through 11 different dishes made just for the event.

The $85 ticket gets you a stamp card and map to all the traders slinging cheese-filled treats, all included in the ticket price. You can then visit each vendor within your allotted session.

Start the day at K-Sein Fromagerie, where you'll nosh on three cheeses and learn about all the different cheeses available at the market.

From there, you'll choose the order of your own self-guided tour, trying a special brie and apple croissant at Agathe Patisserie, and a big German pretzel with camembert beer dip at Little Hof.

What else is on the menu? Mornay oysters from Aptus Seafood Grill, ten-cheese croquettes from SMITHBURG, gorgonzola arancini from Pieno Do Grazia, raclette from Emerald Deli, lemon cheesecake gelato from Fritz Gelato and a heap of other cheesy treats.

You can buy extra goodies to take home from each trader, or upgrade your ticket for an extra $55 to include an exclusive produce bag filled with gourmet cheeses and accompaniments.

Think of the whole tour as a moving degustation — where you wander around the market trying 11 small courses, each from a different vendor.
