Summary:
A Private Gourmet Tour with Your Very Own Culinary Host.
The pinnacle in gastronomic touring. Join your MPT guide and a renowned local culinary identity for an urban food adventure like no other. What better way to experience Melbourne than with an edible tour through the city’s most fascinating precincts? MPT’s culinary hosts are local chefs and food critics; connoisseurs with unmatched knowledge of the talents, trends and tastes shaping the city’s enviable food scene.
We begin at the Queen Victoria Market, the jewel in the crown of this food-lover’s city since opening in 1878. Soak up the world-famous atmosphere of the market with barista coffee plus tastings of the very best Greek dips, freshly shucked oysters and warm-from-the-oven Turkish pastries. Visit the meat and seafood hall, explore the stunning deli hall and be guided through aisle after aisle of fresh, locally grown produce.
A stop at Books for Cooks is always popular; Melbourne’s best place to find new and rare books about wine, food and the culinary arts. In the food history-rich neighbourhood of Carlton indulge in a hosted tasting of Italian specialty foods including parmigiano-reggiano and prosciutto, along with a glass of sparkling prosecco. Tempt your sweet tooth with Italian cakes and handmade pastries at different boulangeries.
Melbourne’s Unrivalled Foodie Scene.
In the city centre, visit an underground maturation cellar and taste amazing Victorian farmhouse cheese. We then get our pick of the best seasonal artisan gelato at Spring St Grocer. Journey through the beautiful gallerias that define central Melbourne and its Victorian-era architecture. Enjoy stunning handmade chocolates, learn about native Australian ingredients at a spice emporium, and sample Victorian regional honey and nougat. Discover laneways lined with cafes and restaurants before making your way into Chinatown and the Greek precinct. Gain an expert’s insight into the latest and greatest restaurants hidden among Melbourne’s alleys and the hidden cocktail bar scene that Melburnians so love. Conclude the day in the best way possible with a selection of signature dishes and wine at the award-winning Cumulus Inc restaurant. Each tour is different and will be adapted to the specific interests of our guests. Melbourne IS food and the adventures on this exclusive experience will help you understand the city, its people, and its best-kept foodie secrets.
