Go nuts at the Wandiligong Nut Festival from Friday 25 to Sunday 27 April 2014.

Wandiligong is filled with gorgeous walnuts, hazelnuts and chestnuts in April and May. You'll find them in orchards, backyards and down the lanes of this tiny town located 330km northeast of Melbourne. In addition, heritage apples and blackberries start to appear. To celebrate the harvest, residents as well as visitors gather at the Wandiligong Nut Festival for an extremely nutty experience.

Celebrate the beginning of Wandiligong Nut Festival and Bright Autumn Festival at Sole e Luna on Friday with a super mouth-watering degustation dinner for $45. Expect owner and chef Frank Martinez to wow the tastebuds with amazing flavours using chestnuts, hazelnuts and walnuts. Seating is limited and fill up quickly, so book now on 5750 1861 to avoid disappointment.

Saturday offers a huge range of amazing things for people of all ages. This is your opportunity to crack some nuts, chat to nut producers and absorb the vibrant atmosphere at Alpine Park.

The produce market will be full to the brim with all things nuts. So come and sample the most delicious roasted and fresh chestnuts, walnuts and hazelnuts. Indulge in chestnut soup, quench your thirst with apple juice and browse the stalls for something special including handcrafts, oils and teas.

Young visitors will love the range of children's activities like lions' train, t-shirt painting, face painting and story time. Plus, the Lisa Dean Puppet Show will definitely mesmerise the young ones. And don't forget to say hi to Kozzie the Koala if you see her meandering around the park.

Foodies can learn all about truffle cultivation at the Food and Wine Marquee, and become an expert on chestnuts, hazelnuts and walnuts as the Nut Expo will inspire everyone with cooking ideas. Plus, don't miss out on the cooking demonstration and wine matching session. Guest chefs Anthony Simone from Simone's and Frank Martinez from Sole e Luna will be showing off their cookery skills.

In addition, live music will fill the air so make sure you check out the local talent. And remember to pick up a special show bag filled with goodies to take home.

The unique Wandiligong Nut Festival promises to be full of fun for the whole family. So check it out, stick around and you'll fall in love with the town.
