After NorthCider festival whet appetites last weekend, it's pretty clear that Melburnians love to celebrate their cider. Add some delicious, rare, stinky cheese to the table and you’ve got one heck of an afternoon. Setting up shop at the magnificent Werribee Mansion for the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, Fromage a Trois: Cheese and Cider Festival will showcase Australian boutique cider producers and artisan cheesemakers, who'll be displaying their tasty wares for you to sample and inevitably take home by the wheel-load.
For those particularly interested in the process behind the practice, there'll be a demonstration stage where you can get educated on cheese appreciation, as well as some more intimate masterclasses on offer. If you want to get the best tips for your own cider or cheesemaking adventures, we recommend having a chat to the stallholders — they'll undoubtedly talk your ear off about the good stuff.
Can't wait until Sunday for your fix? Check out our round-up of Melbourne's best spots to stock up on very, very good cheese right here.
