Paddington Cheese & Wine
Forget your typical Sunday arvo slouching – because we're dialling up the indulgence with a celebration of epicurean delights right in the heart of Surry Hills. Picture this: the aroma of award-winning Brie mingling with a crisp Semillon, the sun glinting off a glass of Rosé, perhaps a gentle breeze carrying the scent of blooming jacarandas. This isn't just an event; it's a sensory feast, a relaxed Sydney moment you won't want to miss.
What is it?
We're bringing you the Paddington Cheese & Wine, a bespoke, free event designed by yours truly – "What's In Sydney". This isn't about exclusive access or stuffy formalities; it's a casual, open invitation to experience the best of local and international cheese alongside a curated selection of Australian wines, all under the Surry Hills sun. Think dedicated tasting stations showcasing everything from aged cheddars to creamy blues, each paired thoughtfully with a complementary wine. Expect friendly producers, expert sommeliers on hand for cheeky tips, and a relaxed, come-and-go vibe where the only agenda is good taste and great company.
Why go?
Because where else can you sample artisanal Gouda followed by a zesty Sauvignon Blanc, all without opening your wallet or fighting for a booking? This isn't just about free samples; it's about discovering your next favourite cheese, finding that perfect drop to impress at your next dinner party, and rubbing shoulders with fellow foodies. Keep an eye out for surprise pop-up demonstrations from local cheesemongers, sharing their secrets to the perfect platter. If you’re someone who appreciates quality produce, enjoys a relaxed atmosphere, and lives for those effortlessly chic Sydney Sunday vibes, then this is unequivocally for you. It's the perfect antidote to a busy week and a delicious way to spend your afternoon.
Need to know
Head straight to Surry Hills on Sunday, July 19th, 2026. Given it's a free event, arriving a little earlier than later is a smart move to bag your prime cheese-tasting spot. Wear something comfortable but stylish – it’s Surry Hills, after all – and definitely bring your sharpest palate. While it’s open to all, securing your spot by RSVPing via our website is highly recommended to receive updates and an insider's guide. Parking can be a beast, so public transport is your friend; catch a bus or train to Central and it's a short, pleasant walk.
