Mezcal Mini-Fest
Spend a Saturday sipping more than 40 mezcal expressions from 16 different producers — washed down with a few top-notch tacos, of course.
Overview
When it comes to agave spirits, the crew behind local Mexican eateries Mamasita and Hotel Jesus sure know their stuff — as you'll know if you've ever caught a glimpse of either restaurant's back-bar. And now, to the delight of Melbourne's agave aficionados, they're channelling all that expertise into the long-awaited third instalment of their Mezcal Mini-Fest.
Taking over the Collingwood taqueria on Saturday, October 22, this one-day tasting fiesta is set to pour more than 40 different drops from 15 leading mezcal brands — including Cinco Sentidos, Derrumbes, Koch el Mezcal, De Leyenda, Oaxaca's Ilegal and more.

Guests will get to chat to the mezcaliers while sampling their smoky sips and diving into the drink's history. Hotel Jesus will be whipping up Mexican classics like tacos and quesadillas to enjoy in between tastings — including an off-menu taco starring ox tongue and a mezcal crema.
Tickets clock in at $15 online and $20 on the door, each of which'll get you entry, plus a couple of tacos.
