Fermentation Masterclass - Beaker Street Festival

An image of a person at a hands-on workshop
Dive deep into the art and science of fermentation at Tasmania's brand new, purpose-built fermentation facility, FermentHQ. Discover the delicious alchemy of microbes and yeasts as they transform fresh produce through one of the world's oldest forms of food preservation. This full-day experience blends indulgence with hands-on learning. Whether you're a curious beginner or already deep in the culture, you'll explore the incredible diversity of fermentation through cheese-making, probiotic sauerkraut and fermented vegetables, sourdough baking, and a wine workshop celebrating cool-climate grapes. You'll leave with practical skills, confidence, and techniques you can use at home for years to come. Attend all four hands-on workshops, with plenty of tasting and indulging along the way, at this fully curated day dedicated to the microbes that make local produce more delicious, more nutritious, and far more interesting. All you need are closed-toe shoes and an open mind. Come ready to learn, taste, and take home the transformative powers of fermentation. Please note the day will involve working with and eating gluten and dairy products. Lunch will be provided. If you are vegetarian, please select that option at checkout. This event is part of Beaker Street Festival 2026
