About this tour
This two-hour walking tour threads through Melbourne's laneway network, stopping at six street-art installations whilst hearing historical anecdotes from your guide. You'll then settle into a heritage wine bar with dark timber and worn leather, where you'll taste three wines from both established and emerging regions, paired with Portuguese-style small plates. Small groups of up to six keep the pace intimate and the conversation flowing.

What to expect
Expect to walk at a relaxed pace through Melbourne's inner laneways, pausing to examine murals and installations whilst your guide shares historical context and local knowledge. Cobblestones and uneven ground are part of the terrain. After roughly ninety minutes of wandering, you'll arrive at the wine bar—a quiet spot with character—where you'll spend the final half-hour tasting three wines in half-pours, each accompanied by a small plate. The wines shift between classical and contemporary producers; the tapas are light and designed to complement rather than dominate.
Good to know
Wear shoes with grip and support for the laneway walk. Bring a light layer or jacket—Melbourne weather can shift. A camera is useful if you want to photograph the art. Public transport stops are nearby. This tour isn't suitable for pregnant travellers. All fitness levels welcome.
