Overview

Fans of smoky agave spirits — and Mexican eats — should block out this Sunday afternoon ASAP, 'cause Mezcal Mini-Fest is heading back to Melbourne — for the second time ever. Smith Street eatery Hotel Jesus will once again host the festivities on Sunday, March 24. The evening will celebrate the spirit that — despite popular assumption — is more akin to whisky than tequila.

It all kicks off from 1pm with a three-hour tasting session where you can try over 50 notable mezcals selected by Hotel Jesus and Mamasita. The tasting is free so we recommend heading there early to secure a spot at the bar. There'll  be plenty of experts on hand, too, so you can find out what really  is the difference between tequila and mezcal.

There'll also be plenty of Mexican eats (to help line your stomach) available for purchase, as well as many rare mezcals by the bottle — so you can continue the good times back home.

Mezcal Mini-Fest runs from 1–4pm.
