The SA Cheese Festival brings together cheese makers and food artisans from all over the country, giving visitors the chance to taste, eat, drink and play in a festive atmosphere.

Attractions

Checkers Cheese Emporium
Explore the country's largest selection of cheese under one roof.
Add to this chocolates, Turkish delight, nougat, and sweet or sparkling wines.

Cheese Market
Artisan cheese makers using age old methods and lots of patience share this space with special deli products.

The Mall
Fill your basket with nuts, home made preserves, bread, pesto, garlic mustard and award winning wines.
The new SA Olive Experience will allow olive enthusiasts to enjoy this ancient fruit in surprisingly innovative ways - buy a tree, or taste the purest olive oils and gleaming black and green table olives, tapenades and even olive jams.

The Cooking Pot
Famous food, entertainment, travel and wine icons, with names like Soli Philander, Beyers Truter and Johan Badenhorst, Sarie & Sarie Kos Magazines' food editors topping the celebrity list, will be stirring up a storm in the Cooking Pot.

Kids
Professional entertainers will encourage kids of all ages to safely shed some of their energy in the Wilde Fruit Juices Kiddies Corner.
Jumping castles, clowns, face painting and colour in competitions will guarantee that your kids enjoy their time there.
Teenagers can chill out in the funky Cheese Chiller tent with its theatre and games room.

Milk Factory
Let your kids experience the journey of milk from the cow, goat or sheep to the table.
Taste raw milk as nature provides it and learn from the guardians of tradition at the Worcester Museum how to make butter and cottage cheese the old fashioned way.

Gourmet Lane & Ladismith Cheese Music Gazebo
Experience from fresh oysters, smoked hake and marinated herrings, to shawarmas, exquisite sauces and an array of fine foods.
