Overview

Skip the guesswork and let a passionate local host take you through Melbourne's food scene on this 3-hour food tour, running every day. Your guide handpicks 4 to 6 tastings on the day based on what's seasonal and right for your group, so no two tours are quite the same. The route takes you through the cultural heart of Melbourne's CBD: a stop in Chinatown for dumplings and dim sum, through the city's famous laneways, and into the Hosier Lane street art precinct where your included drink, wine, beer or cocktail is waiting. Finish with a sweet treat near Federation Square. This is a genuinely small group, capped at 12 guests, so you get real time with your guide rather than a script. Past guests consistently praise how much their guide tailors the tour to the group. Come hungry: these tastings are built to replace a full meal. You'll also leave with insider recommendations for the rest of your stay.
