About this activity
We begin next to the Sir William Clarke Memorial next to the Old Treasury Building. A symbolic area of Melbourne and home to our Parliament . The order of the venues may change, but together we will visit a variety of our favourite watering holes, these may include a classic craft beer establishment, a laneway bar, a hidden speakeasy or a rooftop bar.

Everyone has their favourite drink but you’ll be encouraged to try something different on this tour. Never tried whiskey? We’ll take you to a place where you can discover its charms.

Want to check out some local wines? With the Yarra Valley just a stone’s throw away, it would be a sin not to taste some of the delectable wines in the region.

The craft beer scene is exploding in Melbourne right now yet beer has always had a rich history in the city. You’ll learn about the standard pour sizes of Victorian beers and how beer nearly led to all alcohol being banned during the gold rush.

Many of Melbourne’s most popular bars and have the opportunity to try concoctions from the following pit stops:

A classic Aussie pub. Throw back a pot or a pint, as here’s where you’ll learn about the standard pour sizes of Victorian beers and how beer nearly led to all alcohol being banned during the gold rush.

A cocktail bar. Melbourne has some of the best mixologists around, but most of them are hidden in tiny, hidden cocktail barslaneways and that survive on word of mouth alonee. Visit a speakeasy-style bar and learn about how and why Melbourne’s laneway scene developed.

Rooftop bars are a favourite place for Melbournians to gather and not just in summer. During winter, some rooftops add a marquee and heaters and carry on regardless. You’ll visit one of the most eclectic rooftop bars in the city.

A wine bar. With the Yarra Valley just a stone’s throw away, it would be a sin not to taste some of the delectable wines in the region. Learn how wine shaped Australia’s history and how to taste wine like a member of the social elite.

A surprise! Melbourne’s bar scene is ever-changing, so one of the bars the fourth bar will be chosen by your guide on the day, depending on the group’s desires, the weather, and what is trendingy in Melbourne at that particular moment inthe time.
