About The Fest

Inspired by her travels across the world, discovering the milky whey of cheese, Festival Director and Cheese Maker Kris Lloyd AM decided it was time for South Australia to celebrate the Big Cheese.

“I want to celebrate the passion, skill and the fine cheeses that South Australian Cheesemakers produce. I can’t think of a better way to do that than have a Festival where we can celebrate together the power cheese has to bring people together, fill tummies and create unforgettable moments”. 

CheeseFest also attracts winemakers, brewers, food producers, restauranteurs, and fermenters from all over Australia. With cheese a central ingredient, CheeseFest is a foodie’s paradise.

Paul Wood

Paul Wood is the ultimate triple threat: Food, Wine & Dirty Martinis – he does them all with gusto. When he’s not helping food and booze businesses to deliver projects or get them grant funding, he scours the state for the best places to eat and drink, writing about them for various publications, or just telling his friends about the top spots. Paul’s only artistic talent is arranging other people’s food on platters or grazing tables, and for fitness he enjoys taking long walks to the fridge. His addiction to cheese is only trumped by his addiction to homewares, he loves his dachshunds, platter collection, and manchego- in that order. His main goal in life is to never look back and think “I could have eaten that”.

For CheeseFest, Paul helps behind the scenes with strategic planning, attracting funding, and coordinating the music program, plus taste testing absolutely everything before the gates open to the festival.
