It’s the Aussies against the Europeans in this delicious battle for victory…and you’re invited to be the judge.

Your mission is simple. Step 1: Blind taste three pairs of cheeses. Step 2: Try to guess which is Australian or European. Step 3: Gasp in surprise – or smug delight – as your professional expert reveals the answer…

You’ll discover the cultural history, region, terroir, producer, ageing process and taste profile of each cheese. You’ll also take home tasting notes and wine pairing recommendations.

For a whole hour of guided premium cheese tasting, $15 per head is a steal.

Where? Cargo Hall, Sydney Overseas Passenger Terminal, 130 Argyle Street, The Rocks NSW 2000

For some cheese devotees, an hour of tasting is simply not enough. Perhaps you’re one of them. If you prefer a romance to last the entire weekend, get tickets to Bon Fromage.

A festival literally named “good cheese” in French, we’ve no doubt there’ll be tonnes of European cheese there. In fact, to be exact… a 60-metre long tasting table, laden with over 20 varieties of cheese for your *FREE* tasting delight, replenished as needed.

We’re also told six well-stocked bars will grant easy access to beverages for pairing.

The weekend down at Circular Quay also promises complimentary masterclasses, cheesemonger demonstrations, and expert talks all about the world of cheese – from the history to the maker’s process.

Entry is completely free of charge, so pencil it in your diary right away. No bookings required but for more information head to the Bon Fromage Festival website.

When? Practically anytime – make a reservation here.

Where? Reign at the QVB, Level 1, Queen Victoria Building, 455 George Street Sydney NSW 2000 (Druitt Street entrance)
