Foodies' Bus Tour of Melbourne

Cupcakes at Let Them Eat Cake

Join chef and food author Allan Campion as he leads food lovers on a bus ride to his all time favourite foodie places.

Explore South Melbourne and taste stunning pastries from one of the most gorgeous bakeries in town. Then there's the tutored olive oil tasting and a wander through the heart of Prahran Market to meet Allan's favourite stall holders.

A yum cha lunch will follow before the mini bus whisks everyone across the Yarra. Here its time for a cheese tasting at one of the city's best providores, followed by a trip through the streets of Carlton and finally it's off to funky Fitzroy for a glass of wine and a visit to an incredible foodie book store.

Along the way Allan will bring everyone up to date with the latest places to eat around town, plus all the most up-to-date foodies' news and information. If there was to be an ultimate food tour through Melbourne this would have to be it.

NOTE - The tour is conducted in a mini bus and requires a minimum of 14 participants at a cost of $145.00 per person.
Tours can be held on any day of the week, depending on availability. However it is best to be held on a Prahran Market Day - Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
It runs from 10 am to 4 pm. Pick up and drop off is usually at Federation Square in the CBD. However this can be organised to suit your groups location.

Hi Allan - What a fabulous tour you gave our little group from Perth. It was different, diverse and extremely interesting.

Just a short note to thank you so much for a very enjoyable tour last Saturday. I took along two friends and my daughter-in-law took three and we all voted it a great day. We loved the variety, the food tastings, your wonderful snippets of information and the friendly atmosphere. Many thanks again. Joan B.

Market Tour and Cooking Class

A really fun option for a group to really get their teeth into a foodie experience is the Market Tour and Cooking Class. This involves a guided tour around the Queen Victoria Market to meet some of the best stall holders and enjoy tastings of their very best products. The group then makes its way to the cooking school where a cooking class is held using the best seasonal ingredients from the market. This combination of class and tour is a terrific way to become acquainted with this iconic Melbourne market.

NOTE - The Market Tour and Cooking Class requires a minimum of 14 participants at a cost of $145.00 per person.
The tour and class runs for around 4 hours.

Larger groups can be arranged - with groups of more than 18 we split into two groups and each spends two hours on the tour and two hours in the school. Everyone then gets equal time in the cooking school plus time on the market tour.

Classes can be held on any market day, (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday) depending on availability.

Please note - dates for the Market Tour and Cooking Class book out very quickly and are limited to market days and operating hours.

To make an enquiry about a class contact Allan Campion via email or mobile 0408 555 679.
