The Chilli Cocktail Experience

It's with great pleasure that we bring you an experience like no other; a fusion of chilli and drink. Edible Ornamentals and Chilli Olly bring you 'The Chilli Cocktail Experience'.
During your visit to the Chilli Ranch you'll learn about adding a depth of flavour to your alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, some with a little heat.
A brief tasting session of freshly picked chillies starts the experience before adventuring into sampling a selection of over 10 cocktails from a Chilli Mojito to a Chilli Iced Tea and many in between.  Your palate will be taken on a roller coaster ride of fresh flavours and surprising results. 

The Chilli Tour and Tasting for Two

This is one of our most popular experiences and it runs from June to October, depending on the weather. You will receive a tutorial in growing the best chillies, a guided tour of the nursery and a tasting session. You will also have lots of fun picking chillies to take home with you to create many different recipes.​

Chilli Academy

The Chilli Academy is the creation of leading chilli industry chef Chilli Olly. Chilli Olly partnered with leading chilli growers and the original Chilli Tour provider Edible Ornamentals, to bring you an educational experience like no other. With successful tours and experiences at Edible Ornamentals, it makes perfect sense for the Chilli Academy to make the Chilli Ranch it's home.
