The South African Cheese Festival offers festival-goers a wonderful chance to enjoy one of life's greatest pleasures (in my humble opinion): Cheese!

Enjoy a magnitude of legendary champion cheeses and discover daring new varieties paired with delicacies such as wine, olives and freshly baked bread in a country market atmosphere. Visitors will be afforded the exhilarating opportunity to compare our local cheeses to their French, Dutch and Swiss counterparts. South Africa's most celebrated food personalities and cheese-makers will be there to let you in on the most scrumptious cheese secrets, while demonstrating new trends of the cheese world.
