The charm of the French Alps this winter has descended on Festival Plaza as the Raclette Igloo Experience launches today.

It’s here, Adelaide! You’ve been ever so patient.

The charm of the French Alps this winter has descended on Festival Plaza as the Raclette Igloo Experience launches today.

From now until June 9th, locals and visitors can enjoy a unique, cheese-centric celebration in a setting that resembles a snowy Alpine village. Step into a personal igloo named after renowned French ski resorts, surrounded by a scenic dusting of faux snowflakes and shimmering fairy lights, creating an ambiance of winter wonder.

“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 ready to host guests, each party will have their own raclette heater to melt cheese over a selection of cured meats, boiled potatoes, pickled onions, and cornichons.

This hands-on dining experience is designed to delight the senses and foster memorable moments among diners. Enhancing the festive atmosphere, guests can sip mulled wine or other beverages from the mini-bar, all while nestled under the glow of pine trees and fairy lights.

The experience is meticulously crafted to transport attendees to a quaint Alpine retreat, right in the heart of Adelaide. Authenticity is key, with French-speaking staff on hand and a Raclette Guide to ensure every visitor maximizes their culinary journey.

Hernandez adds, “We bring that same warmth and joy to Adelaide, allowing people to create unforgettable memories together while indulging in lots of cheese.”

For an added touch of nostalgia, a fire pit for roasting giant marshmallows invites guests to linger longer and savor the cozy atmosphere.

This enchanting setup is not only a haven for cheese lovers but also a unique escape for anyone looking to enjoy a wintry evening filled with culinary delights 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.
