Mould X Pinot Palooza Festival

Mould X Pinot Palooza Festival  is a mammoth cheese and pinot event taking over the John Reid Pavilion, Brisbane Showgrounds from May 22-24.

Following the success of last year’s cheese-filled festival and pinot-paired party, everyone’s favourite blend comes together once again, bringing friends, fromage and fermentation under one roof for one of Australia’s biggest food and wine celebrations.

The collaboration brings together two established events — MOULD and PINOT PALOOZA — into a single shared experience that’s relaxed, flavourforward and designed for delicious discovery. It’s the best of both, side by side.

Attendees can enjoy over 50 Australian artisan cheeses paired with more than 50 expressions of Pinot Noir from Australia, New Zealand, and beyond, all poured by the producers themselves. 

Beyond tastings, bars across the event will pour a curated selection of wine alongside spirits, beer and cocktails. Food producers and cheese-loving makers round out the experience with ready-to-eat bites, pantry staples and grazing essentials – perfect for fuelling the day or elevating your next curated cheese board.

Good to know - Building on the popularity of last year’s tour, the 2026 program will also see four sessions run over three days, with Sundays now firmly part of the lineup.
