Overview
Some like it hot; other milder folk prefer not to flirt with such danger. But whichever category you fall into, your tastebuds will find plenty to love when the Yarra Valley's Herb and Chilli Festival returns to spice up your weekend.
Descending on founders Clive and Di Larkman's Wandin herb farm from Saturday, March 18–Sunday, March 19, the flavour fest is set to once again deliver a fiery mix of food, entertainment and more.
A hefty lineup of stallholders will be slinging everything from chilli plants and fresh herbs to flavour-packed pantry goods. Visit the international food court for a ready-to-eat spice hit from the likes of The Happy Mexican and Flamin Skewers, and sample feisty booze products like hot chilli wine and Logan's signature Thai Venom Vodka. Easier-drinking sips will be on offer from labels including Hop Hen, Burnley Brewing and Grand Ridge.
As you can imagine, you'll find a tastebud-tingling array of hot sauce varieties to try and buy, while the live cooking stage will play host to both chef demos and a stack of fiery eating competitions. Are you game to try the Stinger Wing Challenge? Reckon you could reign supreme in the famed chilli-scoffing contest?
Luckily, you can keep your cool between chillies with a program of live tunes from artists including Steve Boyd's Rum Reverie and Inka Marka, and Mexican masked wrestling demos courtesy of Lucha Fantastica.
