What to expect

Expect to walk steadily through several Melbourne precincts, stopping at four to five food venues over the evening. Each pause involves tasting dishes or drinks prepared by the venues themselves—nothing rushed. Your guide will contextualise what you're eating within Melbourne's immigrant and cultural landscape, explaining how different communities have shaped the food here. The pace suits all fitness levels, though comfortable walking shoes help. Dessert and coffee rounds out the experience after darker, more savoury courses.
