Mount Alexander Tastes Showcase

A new food and drink festival, the Mount Alexander Tastes Showcase, is coming to Castlemaine to entice food enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike with a diverse array of workshops, master classes, tours, tastings, and more. This event promises a unique experience celebrating the Shire’s exceptional food and drink producers.

A highlight of the showcase is a special lunch that celebrates one of Victoria’s most iconic food producers Holy Goat, who have called time on their award-winning production of goat’s cheese. Hosted at The Goods Shed in Castlemaine, adjacent to the train station, the space will be transformed into a dynamic, inspired room with visual, verbal and of course delicious tributes to the iconic cheeses of Holy Goat.

Led by chef Alex Perry of acclaimed Bar Midland, the event is a collaboration with chefs, cheese merchants, farmers, winemakers and brewers from the Mount Alexander Shire to produce a Holy Goat inspired four course lunch with matched beverage pairing.
