Skip the guesswork and let a passionate local host take you through Melbourne's food scene after dark on this 3-hour evening tour, running every night of the week. Your guide handpicks 4 to 6 tastings each night based on what's seasonal and right for your group, so no two tours are quite the same.

Start in Chinatown at its evening peak with hand-folded dumplings and dim sum, move through Melbourne's laneways for a multicultural tasting stop, then pause in the Hosier Lane precinct for your included drink, wine, beer or cocktail. 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 night to the group. Come hungry: these tastings are built to replace a full dinner. You'll also leave with insider recommendations for the rest of your stay.
