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.
