Get ready Adelaide, because this winter, the Festival Plaza is transforming into a magical slice of the French Alps with the Raclette Igloo Experience.
From May 10th to June 9th, you can gather your friends or family and dive into a cozy, cheese-filled wonderland that’s popped straight out of your frostiest daydreams.
Imagine settling into your own private igloo, named after iconic French ski resorts, as snowflakes fall around you and fairy lights twinkle overhead.
“Raclette isn’t just a meal—it’s a French tradition of sharing, laughter, and indulgence,” says Vincent Hernandez, founder and director of the Raclette Igloo Experience. With 14 exclusive igloos available, you’re in for a snug and unforgettable evening.
This indulgent experience is all about the cheese. Each group gets their own raclette heater, inviting you to scrape molten cheese over a delightful spread of cured meats, boiled potatoes, pickled onions, and cornichons. It’s a hands-on feast that not only fills the belly but also warms the heart.
And what’s a wintry evening without a bit of mulled wine? Sip on this spiced delight or choose from other drinks at the mini bar while you enjoy the company of your loved ones under the glow of pine trees and fairy lights. The setup is designed to transport you to a winter wonderland, complete with all the trimmings of a perfect Alpine escape.
French-speaking staff will greet you, enhancing the authenticity of your experience, while a Raclette Guide ensures you get the most out of your cheesy adventure. “We bring that same warmth and joy to Adelaide, allowing people to create unforgettable memories together – while indulging in lots of cheese,” adds Hernandez.
For those who revel in a bit of nostalgia, there’s even a fire pit ready for roasting giant marshmallows, making it a truly essential addition to your winter bucket list. Whether you’re a die-hard cheese lover or just looking for a unique way to spend a chilly evening, the Raclette Igloo Experience promises a blend of culinary delight and cozy festivity.
Don’t miss this bucket list-worthy event that’s set to dazzle cheese enthusiasts and winter romantics alike. Grab your tickets, rug up, and prepare for an enchanting evening that promises to be as delicious as it is memorable.
It’s the perfect way to enjoy Adelaide’s crisp winter air with a touch of French flair.
