A Mulled Wine and Hot Cheese Festival Is Coming to Melbourne

Things are starting to get pretty frosty in Melbourne, so the team at Welcome To Thornbury are heating up a plan to help warm your weekend — a mini festival dedicated to mulled wine and hot cheese.

The party's set to take over the Northcote food truck park from noon, this Saturday, May 27, pulling together a selection of hot, gooey creations from some of the city's favourite cheese-slinging vendors.

This is where all your cheesiest dreams come true, chowing down on lush cheese fondue from Frencheese, The Cheese Rebels' decadent haloumi sausages, a raclette burger from the folks at Mr Burger, and other treats from the likes of That Arancini Guy, Crepes For Change, and Sparrow's Philly Cheesesteaks.

Of course, you won't find a better drink match to all that rich, melty dairy than some hot, spiced booze, so the bar will be rounding out its usual offerings with a special mulled wine, available all day long.

The first Mulled Wine and Hot Cheese Festival happens from midday to 11pm, Saturday, May 27, at Welcome to Thornbury, 520 High Street, Northcote.
