An Immersive Igloo Experience Is Coming to Adelaide for the First Time

We've partnered with Raclette Igloo Experience to share the news of the gourmet culinary event taking over Adelaide this winter.

Picture this: you're immersed in the finest of the French Alps, enveloped by a cosy, mountain-style ambience, indulging in oozing melted Raclette cheese and sipping on mulled wine.

Now imagine that you don't have to leave Adelaide to do it. 

After sell-out events in Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney last year, the viral - and highly-anticipated - Raclette Igloo Experience is coming to Adelaide for the first time next month.

From May 10 until June 9, Adelaide's Festival Plaza will be transformed into a French Alpine village, complete with premium and luxurious igloos, falling snow, fire pits and fairy lights...and a French culinary experience like no other.

A truly magical (and delicious) experience, tickets are on sale now, with the unforgettable event sure to be a sell-out.

This isn't your ordinary dinner out with friends. The Raclette Igloo Experience is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a Winter Wonderland in the heart of your hometown.

With gently falling snow upon arrival (yes, really), guests will be surrounded by twinkling fairy lights and pine trees, with 14 Raclette Igloos - each named for a famous French ski resort - nestled among the setting. 

French-speaking staff greet each group, taking them through the finer points of eating Raclette and introducing them to the very French (and very chic) dining experience.

Parties of six or eight people can then experience the warmth and joy of gathering around the Raclette grill, savouring the delicious flavours and enjoying each other's company. 

An ever-popular winter dish, Raclette is more than just a meal. In fact, it's an experience steeped in the French tradition of sharing, laughing and of course, indulging. 

More than two tonnes of the rich, creamy Raclette cheese will be shipped directly from the French Alps to Adelaide for the event, so visitors can experience the authentic flavours and joy the dish brings. 

The best-selling cheese in France, Raclette is no ordinary cheese. With a rich, creamy flavour, it's a delight for the tastebuds and a long-time crowd-pleaser. 

As part of the Raclette Igloo Experience, up to eight people can indulge in up to two kilos of Raclette cheese, paired with an exquisite selection of cured meats. The cheese is also served with boiled potatoes, pickled onions, and cornichons, all served family-style for a truly immersive and inclusive experience. 

Each guest will also be given a glass of mulled wine (with alcohol-free options available), which is a match made in heaven with the Raclette dish. 

The igloos are also equipped with a mini-bar stocked full of French wines that pair perfectly with the treats on offer. The indulgence continues with dessert, where guests will finish their gastronomic journey by gathering around a fire pit to roast giant marshmallows to gooey, gourmet perfection. 

Tickets for the unique and highly-anticipated event are on sale now - book here to secure your spot. 

Tickets are $99 per person (you can book each igloo for a party of six or eight people), and include a private igloo, Raclette cheese and charcuterie, a glass of warmed mulled wine and jumbo marshmallows perfect for roasting. 

The Raclette Igloo experience runs from Friday, May 10 until Sunday, June 9.
