Test your taste buds at the 12th annual Herb and Chilli Festival, a two-day event in the Yarra Valley celebrating all things hot and spicy.
A roster of more than 80 stallholders will be hawking plants, fresh herbs, rubs, jams, spice mixes and, of course, a whole lot of chillies. And if you want to prove that you can handle the heat, participate in one of the eating competitions taking place throughout the weekend.
Taste sauces from spicy proprietors like Blonde Chilli, Danny Balboa's Sauce Co, Dexter's Hot Sauce, Grumpy Gary's Hot Sauce, Jungle Rain and Melbourne Hot Sauce or head to the food court for something more substantial. Vendors including Amazing Calamari, BBQ King, Flamin Skewers, The Happy Mexican and Tornado Spuds will be on deck to fill your belly.
Like to cool your burning mouth with some booze? Heaps of local producers will be exhibiting their goods, including Logan's Microdistillery, Grand Ridge Brewery, Burnley Brewing, Soumah Wines, Ned Kelly Red and Morgan's Winery and Distillery.
It wouldn't be a festival without live entertainment, and music acts will be performing across the weekend. Tap your toes to Andean flute folk music, South Cajun zydeco blues, swamp pop dance and contemporary tunes. There will also be cooking demos and a chilli cook-off.
If you're bringing children along, there will be a free kid's zone with activities including face painting, pony rides, jumping castles and even Mexican wrestling.
The event will take place at 125 Quayle Road in Wandin, and tickets are available through the TryBooking website.
